Middle East
I've studied Middle East Issues at University of Southern Denmark next to working as a journalist. Besides that, my Arabic is getting closer to an acceptable level after studying at Studieskolen in Denmark, International Language Institute in Egypt, YIAL in Yemen and Qalam wa Lawh in Morocco.

Personal
In addition to my journalistic life, I've travelled in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe. I've learned German, English, some French - and a little bit of Spanish. I've had jobs on a large Danish butchery, on an medium sized office and in a small cafe in Copenhagen. Now I live for journalism and try to improve my writing and my skills with my digital SLR.
