About Me

I see myself as being relaxed and generally interested in the world around me. I try to maintain a nice balance between hanging out with friends, enjoying my interests, learning and doing new things and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people and make friends when I travel, but I also hope that I through Couchsurfing more easily can find people familiar with the places I go. I really love the insider knowledge that you sometimes get from the locals you meet. And what would be a better way to get this than by staying with locals?

I am also on Couchsuring because I like sharing the knowledge I have with other travellers. Not only knowledge about places and things to do in Copenhagen but also about any other area that people might find useful or interesting.

Interests

I have been brewing beer with my friends in my apartment in Copenhagen for several years now - some beers are good, some not as good, but its always fun.
I have been sailing most of my life both casually and competitively. I really like bringing friends for trips. Enjoying the sun, feeling the wind and the water
For the last few years I have been doing climbing, both bouldering, top rope and lead and really like going new places to try and learn

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to usually include genres such as Electric, Jazz, Classic, Indie, House.
I have always been a big fan of movies by the Coen Brothers and Quentin Tarantino.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not all adventures go as planned, but I am very happy that I have at least tried to cross the Atlantic in a sail boat and tried to walk and hitch hike from Denmark to the Mediterranean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like listening to and learning from people who are enthusiastic about things they know and do, and I happily share my own knowledge with people whoever finds it interesting. I have spent many hours teaching both at primary schools in Denmark but also as an assistant teacher at University while I was studying and I really enjoyed both.

What I Can Share with Hosts
