About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying not to screw up all the time.

ABOUT ME

Well. I'm currently writing my thesis and will therefore complete my time at the university in the near future. I share an nice, little apartment with my older brother, Henrik. I spent a lot of time with Henrik and my close friends. Mostly we just chill and listen to or play music. My spare time is dedicated to movies, music, concerts and hanging out at a bar now and then. I've always been grateful for the hospitality that I've received from strangers when traveling around. I guess this is my way of returning that favour.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not the kind of guy that's striving for something extraordinary. I'm striving for average and as long as I can afford a record or two once in awhile, I'll be just fine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to help out when it's possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a lot of great people who has been kind enough to offer me a place to stay for a night or two. Fundamentally, I love the idea of helping out without charging money.

Interests

Movies - especially real film on 8, 16 or 35mm. Music - especially when played live or on vinyl. Cooking. Football - especially Newcastle and Aab. Cake and cookies. Coffee and tea. Hanging out at bars and meeting friends and strangers. Smoking cigarettes. Collecting movie posters. Books and comics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like pretty much all genres when it comes to movies. And with genres I also mean non-genre films :-) However, I probably have a small craving for sci-fi and horror movies.

I prefer analogue to digital music. That doesn't mean that I disregard digital recordings, but most days I would probably choose that sweet, soft, retro sound from the 60's and 70's. This also means that I like rock- and metal bands that derives from that era around the 60's and 70's. Genres as diverse as drone, doom, psych rock, stoner rock, acid rock, prog rock, old school pop (not that new shit!), grunge, jazz, shoegaze, stonergaze, black metal, noise, no wave and whatever.

I always feel like I don't read enough. But the the books I've appreciated the most have probably been written by Bukowski, Orwell, Camus and Kafka.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm.. It made me proud that I saw 22 concerts from the beginning to the end - and probably 5 half concerts - at the Roadburn Festival in 2012.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a bachelor in danish, so I know the basic stuff in danish grammar and danish history of literature. My master degree is in media studies, so I probably also know a thing or two about movies and communications and so on.
