About Me

Hi guys!

I am a (crazy) Danish lad working online and traveling the world. I have a latin american adventure coming up that I am looking very much forward to. 6 months where I will learn spanish, work on entrepreneurial projects, travel and dance salsa (gotta learn surely). I am a VERY open-minded person and LOVE to meet new people of different backgrounds. I travel as much as I can. Currently at 74 countries (if I count the unofficial country of Transnistria in).

Interests: Traveling, reading (primarily non-fiction), watching movies (love going to the cinema), more or less all sports, business (in particular the tech-industry and start-ups - I even have Denmark's leading podcast on the topic). I also love to go out for drinks, dance and meeting people.

At last, being from the happiest country on earth, I am stereotypically a very optimistic person trying to see the positive in everything. No matter how bad, missing a flight or getting into a serious traffic accident, there is always something positive that you can make a laugh out of. SMILE and be happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually always travel with friends but I have always wanted to try out traveling alone. Now is the time and Couchsurfing is, of course, amazing for this.

Thus, I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people on my trip, locals or expats, and hear your stories, hopefully spent some time with you going out, visiting some sights and talking like crazy about life, traveling, dreams and past experiences.

Whenever I get back to Denmark and get myself a new place, I hope to be able to host fellow couch surfers and show them (potentially you) what Copenhagen has to offer.

For now though, I need YOU so we can put smiles on each others faces!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed with an African tribe in the middle of the famous Okavango Delta in Botswana where we completely unarmed walked around the savannah every day. The feeling of being as little as 10 meters from wild mammals while hearing the Lions close by was quite surreal.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share a hell lot of fun together and I got plenty of travel experiences to share. Tips on Europe and Asia mainly. Also some on Africa and North America surely.

I hope to hear yours just as much though so I can learn something new.

Oh yeah. Bonus: I can tell you about Denmark and the Scandinavian societies who are praised like crazy in politics.
