How to Find a Mom Group in Albuquerque
I eventually found my mom group here in Albuquerque, and they've meant everything. But it took months, and I only managed it because I had the energy to keep looking. In Denmark, a nurse simply puts you in a group of six to eight mothers nearby who gave birth around the same time. Here, nobody mentioned anything of the kind. So I built it — a free tool for New Mexico moms that matches you with 6–8 local moms whose babies are close in age to yours. No app, no account, nothing

Copenhagen Without Tourists | Coronavirus Denmark
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

This Forest Spiral Path Lets You Walk Among Treetops in Denmark
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.

Stevns Klint: Seaside UNESCO World Heritage Site in Denmark
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. And if you don’t know, Denmark is much like Seattle through the winter, it is

Skagen: The Northernmost Point in Denmark
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. It has been on my bucket list for a while to visit Skagen. Skagen is the northernmost point in Denmark. Skagen has over two million visitors annually, and after our visit it is no wonder why. We also discovered that Skagen is the main fishing port in Denmark, most renowned for its herring industry. The T

Every Danish Pastry You Need to Try in Denmark | Danish Pastries 101
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,

Bye Again, USA | See You in 10 Months!
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
