When we meet Thue, has he slept well at the Ungaaq hostel, which belongs to Kialaarfik.

But it is far from always that he gets a good night sleep. When he needs peace and privacy, he spends the night in his tent – somewhere in the city that only he knows about. He won't tell where the tent is, as he is afraid others will find out.

- Sometimes I can't sleep properly for several nights, because there are four of us in the same room. When I want to sleep well, I sleep in mine tent. It's usually cold, you just need a warm sleeping bag, they say Thue Noahsen.

Thue has also noticed a worrying development. He says that more and more homeless people are coming from other places in Greenland to Nuuk.

Thue Noahsen holds a flea market in front of Brugseni when the weather permits. Here he is on his way to Brugseni to hold a flea market.

- There are many from East Greenland. In fact, about half are of the users of Kialaarfik from there. They have neither housing nor work. I thinks a lot about why it is like that, he says.

Through the podcast, we get a rare insight into an everyday life, they few people know about, but which will become a reality for many. Hear his everyday life, and what he thinks about the upcoming election.
