About Me

ABOUT ME

Hej!Im a danish guy who has studied and lived in Seattle. At the moment Im tired of studying so Im taking a break(3 months) and travelling the USA.I dont think its travelling if you dont meet the local, so I hope to meet at a town near you!

PHILOSOPHY

Im trying to keep everything simple to focus more on the people around me. And I believe in open source everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted here in Seattle, and want to host again when Im back home in Copenhagen, Denmark!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed Israel last summer. I didnt use the couchsurfing website, but I got some connections from an Israeli friend in Denmark. One friendship in one city led to another friendship in another city. The connection to the locals shaped my travelling, and made it my best travelling experience ever..

Music, Movies, and Books
