About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going person who loves nature, outdoor sports, learning new languages and cultures from all over the world. I'm hospitable and love a new adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop dreaming or living your dreams...but not at the expense of others.

If you don't like something then change it - if you can't change it then change your attitude.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Interests

Adventure, travelling, survival trips, cycling from Copenhagen to Paris. Getting crazy ideas and actually doing them. Swimming, surfing, all watersports. Dancing in the rain. Trying new recipes, cooking for friends, watching films with friends. Being fascinated by other cultures and languages. Being creative out of necessity because i'm a ''poor'' student. Spending time with family. Reading. Going to uni and always learning and understanding more about the world. And learning more about how God loves people.
