About Me

CURRENT MISSION
to show myself the world - and learn portuguese because I'd love to go to Brazil one day

ABOUT ME
I'm a funloving, very laidback, native Dane living in Copenhagen. I am a recent Occupational Therapy graduate and now work as a home counselor in psychiatry. I've also studied 3 years at university (English major and Music Culture minor).

I'm very aware of other cultures, from being in a bi-national relationship for 4 years with a Canadian. Gained a lot of experience in reliving my own culture from another culture's point of view. Gained a lot of friends from all over the world via my ex, and time spent online chatting.
I've traveled in Europe mainly, but also been to Canada 4 times and the US 3 times, and spent 3 months in South Africa in 2014.

PHILOSOPHY
If you're scared to do something, it probably means you should do it.
