ABOUT ME

I like travelling, I like people, I like aumenting my view of things. I put a lot of energy into my friends and I´m always curious about new acquiantances. I finished my studies and worked for a few years, and now, am in a period of gaining perspectiv before I (might) settle down.

PHILOSOPHY

There's no God, so we have to demand it of ourselves to be nice! Live your life with purpose, care of your friends and family, and don't get stuck.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By using it :) Also, I recommend couchsurfing to anybody with whom I talk about travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm travelling for the moment. Before I took off, I hosted 14 people in 13 days to get some experience with couchsurfing, and I had loads of fun doing it. My first guests were a six man (one being woman) high french klesmer-band. I don't speak one word of french, but we had a great time walking around Copenhagen playing for coins (I don't play myself, so I had to pretend to be the manager ;)). I have only little experience as a guest.
