About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Leave the world, just a little bit better than i arrived" Lord Robert Baden Powell

ABOUT ME

28 years old, and a passion for travelling and meeting other cultures.

My normal job is working with disabled people, but also, I'm working with people with autism, instructor in a team building company, and slowly starting my own small company as an hobby.

I have a passion for different cultures, and enjoy to hear about how it is to live in other part of the world.

Each time i learn a bit of another culture, it's like finding a small part of myself.

I like everything about outdoor, adventure, Hiking, Climbing, Diving and Mountain biking in the Forrest..

If you arrive in Roskilde in the summer time, I can give you a ride around Roskilde at my motorbike.

If you come to Roskilde in the winter, you are welcome to join me when I break the ice, and jumps in the water in Roskilde fjord.

I spend some of my time In Roskilde, finding Geocatch, I have my own GPS for this. So if you also like geocatching, or want to learn about it. Then just ask me about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a three month internship in Finland. It was in Adventure Education, and i was challenged in every possible (Good) way. The course was perfect, and to make the story even better, then I found my amazing girlfriend during my three month internship in Finland.

Eaten breakfast with the Afghan police, in the center of Gereshk. fantastic to see how different cultures and traditions can be.

One day in Afghanistan, i felt like something pushed me hard from behind. Suddenly a small waterspouts passed right through me.

Climbed both Galdhøpiggen (2469 m) and Glittertind (2470 m), which is North Europe highest mountains.

2012, went to Mont Blanc, 4810 M, tried to climb it, but had to give up in the altitude of 4360 meters, because of kneeproblems. 450 altitudemeters from the top..
