About Me

ABOUT ME

what is there to say...I was born and raised by travellers...brought up to believe that the world was a playground - and ever since that I have always hungered for any opportunity to go travel and explore countries...learning about other cultures is the only way to learn about ones own as they say! Travelling as well as being open to travellers at my hometown has given me the best and funniest experiences...so CS is a natural way to keep that pulse going!

PHILOSOPHY

"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries." - Aldous Huxley

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently living in Berlin for some months - and I will be more than happy to hang out or explore the city...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Actually I am a freshner...but lets go have a walk and/or coffee :)

Interests

To walk around cities exploring all they have to offer...its people, its music, its arts and its consumables! I especially like to try out the local beers!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a thing for movies, and a big heart for all kinds of adventurous fiction stuff...with both regards to animation and cartoons!

...as well as the old classics!

I basic just like a good story!

When it comes to books, I am quite the classic reader, but the books that have got my attention are; 1984, Brave New World, A Sound of Thunder (short story), The Perfume, A Room of Ones own...and it's no secret that I rather enjoyed the whole 7-some of Harry Potter...as for Scandinavian stuff, Bjarne Reuter's recent books; "Løgnhalsen fra Umbrien" and "Den Iranske Gartner" is top favourites, also Nynne 1-3, as well as the Swedish Jonas Gardell, he has made some really funny stuff!!

Music is more tuff...right now its mostly electro'ish; Röyksopp, Moby, Björk, Fever Ray, The Knife...

...as well as soft rock; When Saints Go Machine, TurboWeekend, Robyn, We Have Band...but count me in if there is a theme party in town!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Iceland, I meet Björk with her family out on a Sunday stroll in the lovely Spring weather...I asked for an autograph, but she got pretty upset...a part from the unpleasant situation, it totally made my Icelandic adventure!!

Teach, Learn, Share

As I am a Scandinavian - half Danish, half Norwegian - I can probably teach you a thing or two about our culture and insane Wiking history...
