About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To not be on a mission. Missions require plans. I like to live my live with as little planning as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Danish guy born in 1985. My mom is a teacher, my father used to be a teacher. Therefore am I....not going to be a teacher. Sure thing, I did work as a temp teacher for about 2 years. But that was basically for the very fine money that job gave me. I did get a lot of wonderful experience, I'm sure no other job can give you. With this money (and my children's savings) I was ready to leave the nest at my parents' and start to become a journalist at the Danish School for that kinda stuff.

In 2011 I graduated and after that I traveled to New Zealand to live with my girlfriend (who comes from New Zealand). We both moved to Denmark where I worked as a photographer/editor for a Danish television production company.

Nowadays, my front door key fits a lock in an apartment Berlin where I hope to settle with my girlfriend for a long time since it's bloody awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm keen on trying out those fine couches people are offering. I have a couch and an air mattress that I'm willing to share in return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just a few couches under my belt so far. But I'm keen on more very soon.
Lovely to meet so many wonderful and inspiring people around the world - from Samoa to San Sebastian.

Interests

I'm into music (play the guitar), sports, television (both watching and producing), electronic hardware and software (if that's what the Internet will fit in under). And then travelling and meeting new people of course. A little bit of a new language is also always of interest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The 50th anniversary for the Guca Trumpet festival in Serbia was a crazy and unforgetable experience. 5 days with balkan music and food that everyone should try out at least once.

Backpacking in New Zealand and Australia in 2006 stands out as a very good memory as well. The two countries offer some of the most spectacular nature I have ever seen. Combined with some great personalities and a welcome attitude, I can't wait to go back. Oh, wait... I did that in 2011. Twice actually. Wow, I must really love it down under.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Greece, Indonesia, Monaco, Norway, Samoa, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, Virgin Islands, U.S.
