About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the Pirate King! Build a little house and a catamaran and travel the world.

ABOUT ME

Dreamer, wordman, bibliophilic, stoner, nature-boy, pothead, walking encyclopedia, beatnik, hippie, stoical, lazy, maniacal, crazy, naive, corrupting, disrubting and blissfully in doubt.

PHILOSOPHY

Bitches and money! Kicking the Reaper in the balls. Laughing is better than crying. Being drunk is better than thirsting. Feeling warmth in your heart is better than being cold. And that I doubt if any of it is true. Always doubt everything, however, believe a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess... I have a place to crash at for anyone. I'm just not too prone to respond because I'm often pretty busy... doing nothing essentially, but some pretty essential nothing, though...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hitchhiked around in Denmark quite a lot, and I know it's not a big country, but I've crashed at not so few, had people crash, and become friends with quite a bunch of weirdos in the most obscure places.

Interests

Reading, listening to music, to people, drinking beer, especially at old bars, psychedelica, movies, just contemplating if it matters, and trying to find out if things would be better if I stopped thinking about it, and finding out how wondering is so much different than thinking or contemplating - perhaps better. Get drunk, stoned and ecstatic and write on a typewriter while people can't stop jumping. Try jumping naked in trampoline covered in snow, by the way... I like to cook, which I'm good enough at that I can make a living from it. And Nakkefestival is something I work hard at. And then plans for a tiny house/earthship in my colony garden. And making a catamaran to roam the oceans in... And the girls... Now the girl...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently crowdsurfed at a Dropkick Murphys concert.
Hitchhikid from Cph, Denmark to Oslo, Norway in 22 hrs.
Grown severel kilos of pot and given most of it away.
Rode a freighttrain. Got arrested for squatting. Participated in the riots of Ungdomshuset. Established a kitchen for Nakkefestival and fed 1200 people for 4 days in july 2007 - doing the same thing but organic this year.
Read LOTR at least half a dozen times. Got mugged, but only told them to behave and that I loved them, that I wanted to have a serious conversation with their parents and sent them running.
Hotchhiked to the Balkans and back with a friend this summer; Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Graz, Zagreb, Zadhar, Moshtar, Sarajevo and Belgrade. Had a fantastic day today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach something about philosophy, history, literature (especially american), cooking and drinking.

I'd like to learn some french, spanish, and eventually japanese, acrobatics, sailing, and just everything, really...
