The 33-year-old radio host Peter Falktoft have had plenty of adventures in his relatively short life.

Together with radiokollegaen Esben Bjerre then, he has traveled around the UNITED states, the Middle east and Russia, shot with AK-47 rifles and stood bare-chested in sub-zero temperatures by the side of a domesticated bear.

Anyway describes Peter Falktoft his latest adventure as one of the largest

In december, he along with five other well-known danes from Gran Canaria to sail 5000 miles across the Atlantic ocean in connection with the Channel 5 programme ‘Across the Atlantic’.

in Addition to radio host consisted of the ship’s crew of the film director Hella Joof, chef Gorm Wisweh, dj and dessertkok Christel Pixi as well as the actors, Nicolaj Copernicus and Sus Wilkins.

And although Peter Falktoft not known the other five very well, after the trip has come to mean a lot to him.

– I’m very picky with friendships, but I wish all friendships started with that one sailed across the Atlantic together, you learn extremely quickly to know each other.

– I have known people for ten years, I do not know half as well as I know them, I have been with in the 21 days, he says.

contrary to expectation, seems Peter Falktoft not, it was hard to be trapped on a boat 4 times 21 meters in three weeks without being able to escape or opt out of the community for a little while to scroll a little on Instagram.

The good people from the tv company had perhaps hoped that we would smoke at each other’s throats, and if I was sailed across the Atlantic with five of my boys, we had beaten away at each other after three days because we couldn’t keep each other out.

– But when you’re thrown into something with people you don’t know, are you a little more attention to that take into account, because you would not like to be the first, who appears as an idiot by showing your true self. You are a little more aware of his surroundings, he says.

The group dynamics have been Peter Falktoft to think about how he treats his fiance and his family to daily.

– You should the actual deal with the ones you love the most, the best of all. But sometimes I think, I relax a little too much of them, as I in fact love most. So I’ll try to be a little more on his toes, he says.

And it is not the only, Peter Falktoft have learned about themselves on the trip over the Atlantic. He has also learned that he gets extremely seasick.

in Fact, he was in the first seven days for the most part chained to his bunk and had several times a day stick your head out over the rail to throw up.

– I knew in advance that I’m a delicate little violets, and that one should not tinker with my balancenerve, but I certainly have put a kind of world record in the seasickness on the trip. It was very violent, says Peter Falktoft. the
On the trip were the six well-known danes among other things, help to sail the ship of the double OLYMPIC winner in sailing Jesper Bank, and to Peter Falktofts luck was a doctor Søren Morning also on board.

– On the trip tredjedag wakes Søren me. He is faced with a halvtom water bottle and says: “here is what you have been drinking on three days. If you are not drinking anything now, I put a drop on you”.

I said, “I shall not ask about.” So I was really pressed, and it was terrible to be so seasick, but there was also a great learn to be so helpless – nothing else I strive never to be. Then you learn that you are dependent on others, says Peter Falktoft.

And although søsygen took the top of the excitement in the first week, describing the 33-year-old radio host sailing across the Atlantic as overwhelming and amazing.

When the team after three weeks finally went ashore on the caribbean island of Antigua, felt Peter Falktoft themselves stunned at how gigantic the earth really is.

– After the trip, I was flown home from the Caribbean, and on the plane I watched a movie and slept the rest of the time, and then I woke up in London. It was really strange to walk around like a zombie at Heathrow Airport and think: “I have just spent three weeks come the other way,” he says.

After the trip, Peter Falktoft especially thought about how the journey over the Atlantic ocean was for the sailors, as the first time, set out to cross the ocean – without knowing whether there was land on the other side.

– It is so wild that men, not so terribly long ago called out and said: ‘Now the banks we the road to here, for we think there is something’. Without knowing whether they would fall out over an edge.

the Trip has really opened my eyes to the historical aspect of the jordomsejlinger. Also because it is so Nik and Jaysk a phrase to ‘cross the oceans’. It is so grandly.

– But it is one of the only things you can do now-a-days, which actually is worth nothing, for we can all knock to Fiji on the 16 hours, if we find a cheap airfare, ” he says.

Across the Atlantic are sent every Sunday on Channel 5, and Dplay.
