About Me

I`m a biology student, eager to learn about life and our place in it, and have some fun while doing it. Since we learn from experiences, might as well make those experiences fun and posibley learn something insightful from it. I love traveling and meeting new and interesting people. Being able to exchange experience and interesting stories with others is truly one of life`s grate pleasures. I like doing sports and try to lead a healthy lifestyle. I am also one of the founders for a business that tries to help people find ways of living better, smarter and easier through rellativley small lifestyle changes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I`m on Couchsurfing because this is probably one of the best ways of meeting interesting people around the world with an incentive to exchange experiences and get to know each others culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I absolutely love reading non-fiction books. Lately I`ve been reading about evolutionary psychology, the history of our species and the advances in our technology and the prospect of AI.
Some of my favorite movies are "The Lobster", "The Party" and "Dogville". I find these to be thought provoking and quite interesting.
I really like listening to music and can appreciate almost all kinds for styles starting form artists like Leonard Cohen to Post Malone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I ran a marathon as a par of a personal experiment with the ketogenic diet. I did the whole race in ketosis without eating any food on the way. It was pretty damn hard, but I learned that just like our hunter-gather ancestors it is possible for us to do extensive physical exercise in a fasted state and still live to write about it in a couchsurfing profile description :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and sharing information on all kinds of interesting topics. I've spent a lot of time reading about dieting, our metabolism and physiology to find what is optimal for the human body... I haven't come close to a definitive answer, and there probably is none, but along the way I have learned some good and practical lessons for feeling better and exercising more efficiently. Im happy to share them with others who are interested :)
