I’m very interested in politics, which I both study and practise. I have been in active in youth politics in the Danish Social Liberal Youth since I was 18 and have hold many different positions of trust. I also ran for local government in the municipality elections in 2005 for the Danish Social Liberal Party, but was not elected.

I will mainly blog about my experiences as an exchange student in America and on issues from Denmark/Europe that might interest Americans.
