How discovered:<\/strong>
\nI was discovered at Roskilde Festival in Denmark. I had just got up after way too little sleep and was walking around more or less like a zombie when I was approached by a girl from my future agency who told me she liked my look. I was convinced she was joking but she ensured me that it was quite serious and asked me to call back after the festival. I went traveling for almost a year after that \u2013 living in Spain for 4 months and backpacking in South America for 5 months \u2013 so the modeling had to wait until my return.<\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nI love playing and listening to music! I play the drums and spend a fair amount of time in the studio with my band and the occasional guest musician. I think we know we are never going to be rock stars but we still enjoy hanging out, doing what we like. Music and fishing \u2013 which I really enjoy as well \u2013 both have an almost meditative effect on me and in my opinion they are as rewarding as running, therapy, or actual meditation. The thing I like the most though is definitely traveling. I have always travelled quite a lot with my family and friends and it usually involves trekking and spending a lot of time outdoors.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite band for a long time has been John Butler Trio but right now I\u2019m listening to Raging Fyah and The Veils. Otherwise I mostly listen to older music. <\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nLife is Beautiful is one of my favorite movies but I don\u2019t really have a single favorite. Movies like 21 Grams and Crash would have a high ranking on my list too. The best tv shows I think will be The Wire, Game of Thrones, The X-Files, Walking Dead, and True Detective season 1.<\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nThe best beauty products existing are fresh air and motion which is why a deodorant is almost the only product I use (I use product for my hair too but far from everyday).<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nI would probably still be working as a substitute teacher at a Danish Public School \u2013 something that I occasionally still do. And I would (or should) focus more on my studies at the university. <\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nWell\u2026 Fishing is probably unfashionable but I like the fact that you can be yourself and I guess I have a thing for practical clothes. Maybe it\u2019s time to revolutionize the fashion industry and make cool fishing clothes?<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nThe very first job I had was with a big international team. Things were very hectic and a lot of improvisation took place but at that time I didn\u2019t have a reference so I didn\u2019t really know if this was just how it was done. We had a great time and it\u2019s one I remember.<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nI love Copenhagen and I think it\u2019s one of the coolest cities in the world. The fact that the city isn\u2019t enormous but still spacious enough for diversity and almost entirely accessible by bicycle is just awesome. In general I think Denmark is one of the best places on Earth to grow up and live in due to the welfare, mindset, and tolerance of the Danes. <\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t have any particular brand or client in mind but the most important thing is that the client wants me and that we have a good atmosphere while working. I like it when it\u2019s relaxed and when I get a chance to talk to the people involved.<\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nFor a while I\u2019ve wanted to go to Ethiopia. I think it\u2019s interesting that the country hasn\u2019t really been colonized like other African countries and therefore is \u201cuntouched\u201d in a way. I would really love to visit Nepal as well since all of my close family has been there and my parents actually met each other on a trip there. Finally, I have to see Greenland one day (being a Dane it\u2019s a must).<\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been paying a lot of attention to the Arab Spring since it began and now the war in Syria and the resulting refugees fleeing for Europe. The war and chaos itself isn\u2019t what I find interesting but the way it happens and how it\u2019s handled politically, emotionally, racially, and religiously is very interesting and relevant \u2013 and it\u2019s a good, though sad, alternative to presidential candidates cursing at each other, getting nowhere, and even receiving more media coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
