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...

Are you feeling the blues and missing excitment and adventure in your life? are you longing for nature and exploring the wilderness that this gorgeous world has to offer? Why not go to one of these places and be bedazzled with the rough beauty that Mother Nature has to offer you. 9. Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand Rotorua has magnificent nature. It is famous for its volcanic activity and for how its landscape has been shaped and colored by it. Check out the parks and make time to visit one of the area’s many hot springs. New Zealand is never really hot so it is always the perfect weather to enjoy and relax in one of the naturally occurring hot springs. Whether you prefer the luxury of the man-made versions or the simplicity of the naturally occurring pools, they are not hard to find, and worth a visit. And while you’re in town, Rotorua is famous for its Maori villages and cultural performances which is a fun experience if you do not mind the artificiality of being a touris...

Planning a trip to Asia and just wondering where to go? I've done the same thing many many times. That's why I have made a short list of some of my favorite attractions around Asia just for you to pick from. Here are my favorite Asian Attractions 1. Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia The main reason for visiting is, of course, Angkor Wat.  A lot of us have a childhood longing for an Indiana Jones adventure and to maybe fall upon a hidden treasure. There are different means of transportation to get there and around, depending on your needs and sense of adventure. You can take a tuk-tuk for the day. They have fixed day-rates and you either do the big or small circuit trip. The small trip includes Angkor Wat, Bayan and 4 other temples, including the Tombraider temple. Meanwhile, the big trip takes you to a lot of smaller temples that are less crowded.  You can also rent a bicycle and enjoy the trip at your own pace. It might be a good idea to get a tour guide if you ...

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...
