About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the wonders of this beautiful world with my lovely boyfriend and get as many passport stamps in the process

ABOUT ME

I'm not that tall, and mostly in a good mood. I like good food (I know, very exeptional), and a nice time with my friends. I was born and raised in Copenhagen and I will always love the city. I love music, and have a pretty good collection of old fashioned vinyl records. I go to a lot of concerts with my boyfriend as music is one of our passions.

I love cooking. I have a fondness for asian food, but basically anything goes. No raw carrots though or macademia nuts. My very weird allergies :) I appreciate that surfers take good care of my kitchen and utensils.

I am almost always up for a good concert, hanging out in one of the parks in the city or taking a walk. I do have to consider my job, so at the moment we're not hosting as oour appartment is not really suited for that with a busy schedule.

PHILOSOPHY

Just live your life truthful to yourself and others. Honesty is the best way to approach life as I see it. That way there will be less misunderstandings between people. When hosting you get a glimps of the travelling that your surfers have done and it is very inspiring.

I keep a positive perspective on life, the world and people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea that you can travel and meet new people. And the unexpected part of this form of "surfing". I have hosted a few people now and have broadend my understanding of this beautiful world we live in. I host when I have the time, and I like to know a little while ahead. I mostly decline requests to be facebook friends or when guys write to just get to know me better. I am in CS for the travelling, hosting and surfing. Nothing else.

As mentioned, we're not hosting at the moment, but if we find time, the most important thing is, that you're as open and considerate as us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few surfers and they have all been so nice. Even though I have a busy scedule I get to meet these wonderful people with their different experiences in life.

I have surfed a few times and always gets hungry for more!

When in Munich I stayed with a danish girl, and it truely felt like meeting an old friend. The world is wonderful!

Interests

I love music, Copenhagen, travelling and meeting new people. And drink lots of good coffe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Patti Smith, Prince, Doors, National, Hot Chip, Veto, David Bowie, new music... And basically anything on vinyl.

I am getting back into reading after many years in university and have fallen in love with Murakami and Safran Foer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: currently Prince at Roskilde Festival. Awesome!
I also saw the sun set over the syrian desert and got tears in my eyes from the beauty and never ending-ness of the sight.
Done: Walking on a slackline 15 meters above ground in the middle of the night. I'm scarred of hights!
