Today’s article is about Mats, couchsurfer from Norway. I’ve met him at postcard club and I took part in his project “Globalbility”. Mats is working as social worker in Norway and he studies culture and communications. He kindly answered some of my questions about his project.
Маленький пост о моем соотечественнике.
Дмитрий по профессии – программист, работал сначала в Ильичевске, потом переехал жить в Москву и Санкт – Петербург.
После одного из турслетов, где путешественники делились своими приключениями, решил также путешествовать по миру.
Last year for an interview I met Martin Knudsen. Eventually we became good friends.
Already at that time he created apps and now I am happy to introduce you his first book about making apps and how to create of them hobby business.
So if you are thinking of creating and selling your apps, this book will be for you!
P.S. I got some updates about Martin’s life. Now he is teaching in Aarhus business academy and he is working about his new book about Android Wear. Recently he gave talk in Berlin.
Hi everyone, another post in English
It is a story of Imthias Kadeer from United Arab Emirates, person who’s life goal is to plant as many trees as possible.
“By passion I am a farmer and a photographer. I love to do anything connected with nature, and photography helps me see life a lot closer”
Being a member of couchsurfing for a long time, recently I joined a postcard club there. Very quickly it became a passion and I started to send postcards to every corner of the world. In the group I found post from couchsurfer member, who recently started her blog about postcards. I contacted her and she kindly answered my questions by email.
So meet today’s guest, Giuliana, age 23, from Italy.
My friend Dominik advised me to meet his good friend Agnius for an interview. Recently Agnius participated in Women’s Museum (Kvindemuseet) temporary exhibition. It took part in August – October and the topic was “A world of stories”. Young people from different countries, currently living in Aarhus, presented their life stories in pictures, films and objects.
Agnius is 23 years old, he came from Lithuania. I met him last year on couchsurfing meeting, and I have to say he is not a person whom you like from the first sight. Agnius is a real artist, he lives in his own world, full of images and inspiration. He likes to meet new people and helps them by hosting via couchsurfing.
And he is a talented person. First he told me about his exhibition. It took several weeks to prepare it, every young person had to organize his own place, and Agnius enjoyed this process. It was totally new experience.
Usually I try not to be late for my interviews, sometimes it happened, but this time I had good excuse, in Aarhus there are 50% sales, so I just couldn’t pass some shops. Luckily, my interviewee was late himself, so I didn’t feel embarrassed. We went to the nearest cafe and had a nice talk.
This time I met with Jacob, he is 32 years old. Originally he is from Odder, studied in Aarhus at business school. And he is living in Copenhagen for the moment; he has been working for a half a year in IT- consulting company. I heard about differences between Aarhus and Copenhagen citizens, so I ask how was the life for Jacob in the capital.
