*For meetups: if I create an activity, please join the existing group instead of creating new, individual ones because I won't respond to that :) CURRENT MISSION To finish my bachelor's degree in Korean studies at University of Copenhagen ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฉ๐ฐ I am going on exchange to Daegu for an entire semester in August! :) ABOUT ME What my friends would say about me: Honest, laid back and adventurous. I am a curious person, always exploring and meeting people from other cultures. I myself am half Icelandic (explains my name) and half Danish ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ I was born in Iceland and grew up in Denmark. Therefore, if anyone asks me, I feel more Danish. I'm sorry I can't give many tips about Iceland! :) I love music, swimming and wherever I am; to have a lot of fun with other people. I also enjoy academical conversations. In the past few years, I've become more interested in psychology, so if you are too, let's have an interesting talk! ๐ *It's sad it's even necessary to mention this, but I don't use CS for dating. If there's a good chemistry between us after meeting up, then it's fine, just don't come and expect anything from the get-go. If I tell you I am not interested, respect this. If you only offer to host/want to visit for dating, it's an immediate "no" from here. Again. Respect this. Thank you.* PHILOSOPHY I've never tried this. I can probably do it! - Pippi Langstrรธmpe All mankind is divided into 3 classes; those that are immovable, those that are movable and those who move. - Benjamin Franklin

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've been using CS for more than a decade and these days I use it for meeting new people and having a good time. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've hosted a few people (Sรธnderborg is small, so not a lot of people come there) and they've all been good experiences. I enjoy telling stories just as much as I enjoy listening to them ๐ค
Music, Movies, and Books
I especially like movies with a plot twist or based on true events and I've got a pretty wide music taste. Favorite movie: The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. Favorite artists: Jamie Berry, Rudimental, Hans Zimmer, Elderbrook, Lucas Forch, Emeli Sandรฉ, Dean and Rad Museum.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I can truly say that the most lovely moments I've had have been in other countries, making friends and living their way of life. Sharing and listening. Maybe learning a few words in other languages. Moving to South Korea in the past has definitely reached the top #1 of my favourite moments.
Teach, Learn, Share
International people from all over the world!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Company, stories and experiences! :)
My Interests
I am very interested in South Korea and Korean as well as other cultures. On my days off or holidays, I like to travel or have a good party with open people, go for a stroll and have a good talk. Although these days, I am more busy with studying. I also like having discussions to view others' perspectives on general topics, such as cultures, politics, pedagogy, psychology, interests, food and music, etc.
