Shared Room: NoIt's very small house (only app. 60sqmeters), but it works - and it's cosy. No smoking inside. I have a small garden. Live on an island 12 minutes by ferry from Esbjerg (costs 35,-kr. for return-tickets (cheaper for 'seniors'). Fanø has a wonderful beach by the wadden sea (very low water..) and dunes, plantations, basically a good place to recreate and spend some time in the nature. Also small, romantic villages - and a total of 3.300 citizens (but loads of tourists in the summertime).
I'd like the First contact on either mail or sms (text on cellphone), please, I Prefer no direct phonecalls ;-) "About your couch": Well, it's a ..couch..
I'm single, no smoking inside, I have a small garden, no pets, I'm often busy working (24/7-open institution, shifting hours), but would very much like to show you this wonderful spot on earth. At the moment I only have a few blankets, I want something even better to keep you warm at night (as customs are in Scandinavia). How many days, well, let's see ;-) Friends (5)

Jul 5 Positive As previous references say, he is great as a CoufSurfing host. He has a lot of energy! From NYCLOFTDWELLER New York, United States
Jun 26  Positive Carsten is a natural for CS. I was honored to be his first guest. He knows instinctively how to make you feel at home with him and I was overwhelmed with his kindness and character. I met two of his children and he impresses me on being a dedicated father and a total professional in the challenging work he does. He is a pleasure to be with!
From Martin Schneider Albertslund, Denmark
May 21 Positive Carsten is a good guy, we met in a pub to exchange our experiences with others... so we talked about this and that and later about that and this... a really nice person open to others and sharing what he has to share
From Karsten Madsen Tonder, Denmark
May 15  Positive Nice guy, sounds like an experienced traveller ;)
From NOMAD® Villeurbanne, France
May 15 Positive Carsten was a careful pupil during my COD, taking a lot of note and asking many question. It's a sharing person and seems to wish to don't miss anything from our community. Help him to travel the world. |
