About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It sounds like a cliche, but I am trying at the moment to stay true to myself! I think travlleing helps me with that and gives me various grounds to practice.

ABOUT ME

What to say? I am a combined nerdy researcher and a happy swing dancer. Back home I am working on my PhD in psychology and try to find out why pupils are stille being suspended and expelled from school in Denmark. I am a true beleiver in science and hope to contribute to making this world a better place to grow up in the future! Apart from that I love to dance swing (one of the loves in my life), which is very happy dance accompinied by old jazz music - it can turn you mood on the most rainy days! I live in a small collective where we share the duties, meals and also happy events and bad days which each other which I really enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmm, I don't know if it is a philosphy, but I do consider it important to look behind people's actions and try to understand them - especially if you do not like what you see. For the most part, you will find conditions that make it impossible or at least hard to be a good person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf on you couches and I am very grateful every time it works out! Currently, I don't have the oppurtunity to host, but whenever it's possible, I do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing through Germany, in Brno and Budapest meeting some really friendly people - sometimes it doesn't need to take long before you feel you know each other! I have couchsurfed with a friend in the Balcan countries and in South America - all great experiences.

Interests

I like dancing, research, learning new things, trying out things I am bad at and much more!

  • traveling
  • sports
  • swimming
  • psychology
  • research

Music, Movies, and Books

I have actually never had a favorite book or movie - and I am not very good with music even if I enjoy listening to it. BUT; I just read "A Handmade's Tail" and I think it's actually the best book, I ever read! It has so many nuances; critical view on gender roles, authority but also reflections on freedom, punishment and politics - and then the form of the text is very withdrawing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What kind of bragging field is this? You can ask me, if you want a know about all the amazing things I have done(-;

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it is hard to say in general even though I like the idea behind this question - some knowledge is just only valid and relevant locally - but I love to discuss psychology, philosophy and so on!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A dance course in Lindy hop?
