About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work harder, play harder

ABOUT ME

I'm an energetic, chaotic and infinitely curious person with a rock-solid positive laid-back mentality. I can be a bit naive at times, but when it comes to the how, when and why of the world I'm a bit of walking encyclopedia.
I'm a designer and a huge computer geek, and I love to revolve around the borders of art and technology. Tinkering with electronics, user interfaces, typography and algorithms makes me smile inside and out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly electronic music of the good kind, anything with a well rounded dancable beat wherein synthesizers are put to good use to show some character, preferably with epic bits of melody. At least that's the kind of music that releases the endorphins, thus tricking my brain into thinking I like it. But good music can't be defined by genres ofcourse. Rock on!

Oh, a list of favorites is needed? Orbital, Booka Shade, The Knife, Ladytron, Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Fisherspooner, Goldfrapp, Justice, Lamb, Legowelt, Modeselektor, Röyksopp, Shameboy, Slagsmålsklubben, Soulwax, Trentemøller, Vive la Fête...
