Amager Fælled: The green get-away in Amager and Ørestad, Copenhagen
On this cold afternoon, in a month that should be spring, I went for a long walk with my darling sister and gorgeous niece in Amager Fælled. Amager Fælled is a nice, swampy nature reserve where you can walk, run and cycle and enjoy a break from the traffic on Amager and the new constructions [...]
Video: Delhi – a truly multidimensional metropolis
Delhi – with its dusty air and millions of people and cars seems overwhelming to many travellers. It is very confronting and in your face. But give it a few days…if you can see past the dirt and get used to the noice and huge amount of people around you all the time, there is [...]
Video: Tourist cruise on the backwaters in Kerala, India

The Main Bazaar in Paharganj is by some Delhiites considered hell due to it’s reputation for drugs and shady characters. But as my good Indian friend told me “you can find these things everywhere in Delhi – they are just more obvious in the Main Bazaar”. However, unlike many capital cities, Delhi actually feels pretty [...]
