About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cultural knowledge, meeting people, networking my way out into the world!

ABOUT ME

It's not possible to put all about me in one text! :D
Love to have fun, people, diversity, new experiences... I'm pretty outgoing and easy, just try to make and give myself a good time :)

By the looks of it I'm: Blonde/pink, nose piercing, as many colors as possible, animal-earrings, vegetarian, something about Africa.
After a while you'll figure out I'm a bit wack, more pop than hippie, love to party like a teenager, stingy, bitchy, lovely, foul-mouthed, still something about Africa and all that you see...

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to live while you do it, remember to love while you still dare... (bad translation from danish, where it actually rhymes)...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf myself and sure are up for coffee and drinks, perhaps a walking tour in Aarhus :). Sometimes it might be possible to host, but I move around a lot for the time being, so I never know where I'll end up next. Right now I live in a shared apartment and don't really have any space.... But try me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couch surfing in Berlin for a couple of weeks with a friend and have had surfers staying at my old place. I'm still keeping contact to some of the friends I've surfed at, which is great! I once brought a camera to an old host, after he'd been robbed in Ghana and I just happened to go there, and I've shown another one all the creepy small bodega's in Aarhus' light summernights...
