Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make a circumnavigation around the northern hemisphere.
ABOUT ME
I'm a young filmmaker, stillphotographer and motorbike mechanic/rider who started a project of traveling around the world on an old BMW motorbike. I started the trip on July 2019 and plans to spend the European summer to traveling slow trough the Balkans.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I travel alone and hope to use couchsurfing to meet people and locals and to have better access to the bigger cities, which can be sometimes difficult when traveling on a motorbike.
I like to meet new people, which is essential for me when traveling - in that matter, couch surfing is for me similar to hitchhiking.
Interests
I'm a filmmaker and so storytelling, people and their behaviour is of big interest to me.
I'm also quite occupied by the idea of starting my adult life in a more alternative way, in order to gain possibly an alternative view on life and how to live it.
I'm very inspired by the Danish traveler Troels Kløvedahl who used to remind himself that we sleep in a 1000 years, then we live in 80...

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
- Danish artists like the hiphop group Malk De Koijn or the sing a song writer Søren Huss. Nina Simone, Pink Floyd, The War on Drugs, Duke Ellington, Arcade Fire, Billy Joel, James Blake....
I get easily sucked into most movies in general, especially a late saturday night home alone.
For this trip I have brought a substantial library of GREAT films from my "To Watch List" - New and old films, all of which has made an impact on the history of cinema.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once made a radio controlled car go faster by using an engine from a nose hair trimmer??
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach whatever you want to learn about an engine. If you have DSLR camera you're stock in automode, I can teach you about that - also Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. I can maybe teach you something about Denmark and most likely I can teach you something about me.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Hopefully a meeting that is in someway worth to remember - and stories from my trip and previous trips.-
