Where I come from we joke about the fact that you can see a rabbit for 5 days (because it is that flat). And it is one of the things I love and hate about Denmark. I love it every time I get on my bicycle and I don’t have to turn up sweaty at my appointment or meeting. I had a job where I worked as a sort of consultant and multiple destinations in a radius of 20 kilometers and I had to bicycle between them and between 10-20 km every day. I loved it and I loved Denmark for being flat. I loved that the only reason I would turn up soaked for a meeting was the rain (which occasionally happened since we do have around 172 days of rain in Denmark. It feels like a lot less these days but statistically checking those are the approximate numbers).  I have a different job now, and a car but how I miss my bicycling days and the freedom of taking my bicycle for everything I’ve done most of my life. School - I cycled, high school - I cycled. Dance classes - I cycled. University- cycled. ...

Have you ever visited Copenhagen in the summer? I will tell you this... there is no place like Copenhagen on a sunny summer day. You can always recognize ice the Nordic people when you go traveling. With every little glimpse of sun, they start smiling and sit in it with their face turned towards the sun. Now imagine Copenhagen, approximately one million Nordic people all feeling the urge to do this when a sunray stroke them. It creates this quite unique vibe of hygge mixed with the smell of summer. Now, I know you know all the famous places to go in Copenhagen, like Nyhavn and Christania. but do you know the secret places? So where can you go and find this very specific summer-hygge vibe and danish mellow-ness? I’ve picked two of my favorite out of the ordinary places I think every tourist to Copenhagen should visit on their stop in this beautiful city. 1. Dronning Louises bridge. On the border from inner Copenhagen to Nørrebro, you will find the famous brid...

So there is a difference between like and love!  I like cheap flight tickets but I love a free upgrade to first class. But I love cheap flight tickets... That is because you haven't had a free upgrade to first class! Doh!! I'm going to try something new this time around! I went on vacation and I didn't love it! I didn't hate it but like they say in 10 things I hate about you; I know that you can be overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed but can you ever just be whelmed?  YES! You can when you visit Poznan! I didn't have a bad time, I just didn't find the city as charming or lovely as the tours and google searches promised me. After a long weekend, I just felt... whelmed! Therefore I have taken the liberty of writing my own version of 10 things I hate about you, Poznan!  Love it or leave it! Here it goes:  1. I hate that your biggest tourist attraction is two mechanical billy goats banging their heads together on top of city hall at...

Did you, like me, fall in love with Dan Browns books about Robert Langdon and his pursuit for truth and discovering of the religious aspects in the Da Vinci Code and later Angels and Demons then check out my Christmas Special for a half marathon around the city of Rome in the hunt for cardinal’s sacrificing places from the book. I don’t know if you have a Robert Langdon in your life to take you on this trip and tell you all the fascinating facts about Christianity, religion, Illuminati, the Vatican and all the conspiracies surrounding topics but if not, bring Angels and Demons in paper-bag and head to Rome. If you, like me, want to get the real vibe and experience of Roma, there is only one way to get around, walking…put on some comfortable shoes with good support and start walking. It is a lovely walk. Dazzling Rome is a vibrant, pulsating city and if you go in the peak season you will have to fight your way through millions of tourists to get to some of these marks. The firs...

Are you sitting at home in desperate need of a vacation? but no idea where you want to go? Fear not. I will walk you through 5 different European countries and why each of them is worth a visit. Not just because of their capitals, which is where most of us end up going when we do a quick get away from home for a long weekend… But because of what it has to offer its tourists. France France is a magnificent country of fables and history.  France is famous for their luxurious tasty cuisine and delicious wine that has inspired many to gasp in satisfaction. But France is so much more. It is the country artists have been in love with since late 1800. Everyone who wanted to be anyone had to go to France. Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein you name them, they’ve been there. Monet spent a lifetime perfecting impressionism in the Gardens of Givenchy, and they are still beautiful and when you visit you want to do as Monet and just take in all the exquisite beauty nature offers. It ...
