About Me

CURRENT MISSION Explore the world and meet its wonderfull people.
ABOUT ME Young at heart, open minded guy with a twisted humour, who loves traveling, and meeting people.
PHILOSOPHY When you sit in a home for elderly people its too late to live out your dreams.

I live in Silkeborg (the outdoor capital of Denmark) with my lovely girlfriend and her sweet teen daughter in a beautiful house with garden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I surf, host and arrange/participate in CS events. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I was couch surfing around the Baltic ocean for 3 months in 1995 surfing many very nice peoples homes. A Latvian family surfed my home the following year. In 2008 I started as official CS'ers hosting several CS'ers and had my own experience in Krakow, Plama, Berlin, Milano and several other places. In 2016 i did a revisit to my first surfers (and friends) Tony and Damian, in Brisbane, Australia. I have also arranged a CS wedding, that turned out wonderfull and romantic. The two love birds from Colombia and Bellarus is now among my dearest friends.

Interests

Traveling, music festivals, book reading, movies, meditation, yoga, swimming, diving and SUB.

I enjoy cooking and sometimes i follow a recipe.

I enjoy good beer, wine and drinks... but I don't like to get drunk. Used to be a late night party animal, it still happens, but rare. Going out for dance, jazz, rock, electronic or almost any kind of live music is great.

I'm a viking... meaning that I swim in the ocean all year, also when water temperature is close to zero.
