We like to travel. We have both lived abroad for many, many years in various countries – from Israel, to Australia, Thailand, Europe and Latin America (where we’re currently living & travelling). This category contains everything we’ve ever done to do with travel…
“Hygge” – an insigt into Danish culture
“Hygge” is a very essential issue in Danish culture. There is no literal translation of the word, but when something is “hyggeligt” it is definitely comfortable and cosy. Different cultures obviously have different views on what is cosy and comfortable – and in this way the Danish definition is rather unique. “Hygge” is also often [...]
No television (TV) – saves me 3 hours a day in Denmark
I have not had a TV for many years already and this has led to the funniest comments from friends and acquaintances over the years. The most common comment being: “What do you do with your time?” While living together with Thomas in Thailand I used to answer “we argue”. It was an ironic joke [...]
Amager Fælled: The green get-away in Amager and Ørestad, Copenhagen

Between the coast of Kerala and the far inland is a vast network of lagoons, lakes, rivers and canals which all goes under the name of “backwaters”. I took the tourist cruise from Alappuzha to Kollam (400 [...]
Video: Varkala beach in Kerala, India
Varkala beach is my favourite beach in India. Having been to Goa before, I prefer the chilled out atmosphere of Varkala. The beach is beautiful (with a strong current), there are many small shops on the cliff (in season) and many reasonably cheap guesthouses. I spent my days doing yoga in the morning on the [...]
