Denmark is famous for its many traditional festivals and celebrations. Learn about the most important Danish traditions.

I adore Denmark and the many places that aren't Copenhagen (although I love Copenhagen).

Have you ever visited a city, and wondered what it would be like without tourists? I have vacationed around some giant tourist hubs this last year including Amsterdam, Paris, and London. I always wondered what it would be like without the lines and selfie snappers. And amazingly, because of the coronavirus, I am getting to see some beautiful landmarks here in Denmark without tourists. Currently, Denmark has closed its borders, to everyone but Danes and a small population of p

Located in the Gisselfeld Klosters Skove forest this observation tower stands 148 feet above the ground and lets you cruise through the forest canopy on foot. On a sunny day, it is said that if you look North can see all the way to Copenhagen and Malmö. Furthermore, there are two other towers with similar heights located at the same location as well. The first one was built in 1892 by an Austrian company called "Gesellschaft für Bau und Betrieb von Ferienwohnungen" and has be

Our exploration of Denmark continues! There are a few perks of living on an island (yes, although not exotic, much of Denmark is islands). It is great to be able to walk out to the water in times like these and breathe in the fresh ocean air. It is still rather cold here, mid 40s most days, but the weather has taken a turn for the better. We have seen the sun nearly everyday for the last few weeks.

With Coronavirus restrictions tightening by the day, Rasmus and I have decided to spend our newly found time off exploring some of the great nature that Denmark has to offer.

We also discovered that Skagen is the main fishing port in Denmark, most renowned for its herring industry. The T

Denmark's government is giving out cash, no strings attached in order to offset economic trauma due to coronavirus.

As Americans when you think of Danish pastries, what comes to mind? Maybe cherry filling, cream cheese, and flakey dough? In the states we are used to eating “Danishes,” but the original Danish pastry, from Denmark, is a bit different. It is called a spandauer. I put my honeymoon body on the line for this post! There is not one pastry that I did not try. It just would not be fair to review these tasty sweets without trying every single one. So, you are welcome! 😉 But truly,

Summer is coming to a close. This time of year, for the second year in a row, is very bitter sweet for me. After being away from my family for 10 months, I really cherish the little bit of time we get together. Rasmus and I spent the summer soaking up time with our family and friends. We split time this summer between Albuquerque and Austin to see everyone. I have no doubt that Tuesday will be a day filled with tears, happy and sad, as I leave my family one more time for Denm
