About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life in Copenhagen and see what happens

ABOUT ME

I'd describe myself as easy going, tolerant and humorous. I love trying new things and meeting new people.
I speak quite quickly, so try and keep up :) (At least in my native tongue)

I spend my time mostly in school, a design school here in the wonderful city of Copenhagen, where I study production design (film, TV and theatre); drawing, sketching, modelling, learning; and with my friends, films, books, coffee, sleeping, music, and generally kicking back. The school is amazing, and I love living life as a student - I'll be doing so for some time, hopefully.

I have been spending a handful of years working with kids and travelling, so now it feels good to be studying. I still take care of a handicapped girl once in a while.

PHILOSOPHY

If you do things you find interesting and fun, chances are they'll be right, so that's what I try to do with life: Be a good person, and not waste time on what I should do, but spend it on what I want to do.

If it feels good, and doesn't hurt anybody - do it!

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Hakunamatata.

And so on :)
