CURRENT MISSION

To bake more bread more often!

ABOUT ME

I am a talker, a runner, a photographer, an artist, a student, a [bad] singer, a dreamer, a reader, a dancer, a lover, an occasional drinker, a climber and many other labels that you can give me once you meet me.

I would describe myself as easygoing, but quite forward. I won't hesitate to say hello, smile, or express my opinion. I'll usually try anything once and would like to consider myself open-minded. However, I like to meet people who challenge the ideas I have about myself.

I love to be outside. I am into backpacking and trekking, although I don't get out often enough. I try to ride my bike to work everyday, and hope that Charlotte becomes more and more bike friendly. I love to scuba dive and go trail running, and usually have a tough time sitting still.

My current dream is to sell everything and live on a sailboat...taking my couch with me everywhere I go!

I live with Scott Brown (check out his profile on my friend list), so we're kind of a package deal if you surf with us!

PHILOSOPHY

I like spending time with myself, although myself likes spending time with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got into CS when I was studying in Copenhagen, and surfed in a few cities while I was there. aaaaand now it's my turn to return all the love that was given to me! Drop us a line!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with:

Sofie in Malmo
Sabine in Berlin
Colleen in Edinburgh
David and Eli in Barcelona
I am really amazed by the Couchsurfing network. As pretentious as this may sound, It redeems my trust in the world. It is fantastic to know that a group of people have come together to share a love of traveling and are willing to share their time and space with strangers (soon to be friends).

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe I could teach you the basics of watercoloring, how to make killer biscuits and fried chicken, or how to swim butterfly. I could give you pointers on how to make a latticed cherry pie or some photoshop tricks. I'm sure I have some other strange skills that you could use...just ask.
