About Me

I'm an economics student living in outer Copenhagen (it doesn't really matter as Copenhagen is a small city).
At the moment I'm taking a semester off to just work and relax. When I'm not working I'm usually at home reading, watching tv-series and eating.

One of my great interests is politics and I can discuss politics and economics for hours. This is also what I usually read about. Francis Fukuyama, Thomas Piketty and Robert Reich are just a few of the great political and economic scientists who have cought my attention.
But don't get alarmed. I also have a fun (and secret dark) side. I love comic books. My all time favorite is Donald Duck but great european comics has certainly also been read.

Both my boyfriend and I like to both cook and eat food. When staying with us, you are always welcome to stay for dinner. And of course - if you like - to cook for us ;)

In the summer time, when the weather allows it, we both enjoy Copenhagen. Sharing a beer and a meal in a local park or at a café is one of the best ways to spend an evening in Copenhagen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For a start, to see Europe through the eyes of the countries every day citizens.

My boyfriend and I will be taking an interrail trip all through western Europe this summer. We both thought it would be cool to stay a few days with different people in the cities we pass on the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: British rock of the 60's, 70's and 80's. But I also like standard pop music.
Movies: It's simply impossible to name my favorites. But I'll name a few. Corpse Bride, Django Unchained, Singing in the Rain and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Books: Francis Fukuyama books, all of Don Rosa, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, United Kingdom
