Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just starting. Found my first host, so now I might as well contribute a little by hosting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Coming soon...

Interests

Reading. Nature. New people ( and old). History. Social science. Computers. Yoga. Gardening (armchair- , that is as I don't have any garden at the moment).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Hurtigruten" along the Norwegian coast All the way to Nordkapp and back.

Teach, Learn, Share

Like my secret superhuman superpowers? Well, maybe...

- I can sense upcoming earthquakes (but don't know, if that is something that I can teach others). We only have small earthquakes in Denmark, but we had two relatively big within the the last three years or so. - Both times I had a strange headache (one side of the head like some kind of migrane [luckily I don't suffer from any kind of head aches]at one side of the head. Not really bad. Then went to bed, and some time during the night noticed a strange shaking (first time I just thought that I had rolled over in a strange way or someone slammed a door). And just kept sleeping. And next morning, I remembered, but thought it was just a strange dream. But when I heard the news, I understood. And the second time it all made sense from the start.

Share something maybe? Well, I do admit that I'm one of those slightly-nerdy pub-quizzers. There are about 10 good places in Copenhagen (including expats, food, music and film special ones). Shortly I'll be going to Estonia, as part of the Danish national group participating in the European Quiz Championship 2012.

LEARN: I do speak intermediate Russian, and would like to improve that. I have lots of books and such, but need to practice conversation (разговор). So if someone is a native speaker, maybe we could sit down and talk for an hour or two?
