Italy – La Dolce Vita
Part of me wants to post multiple strings of pictures from our trip to Italy, with no words, allowing the images to tell the tales of our adventures and antics over those 2 weeks. On the other hand, I’d like to write a novel with all the details, including wordy, elaborate descriptions of each image, […]
Safety in Numbers
We are soon off again, on another family trip! Recently, I made the girls some ID bracelets with my mobile phone number on them, in case they were to get lost in a crowded city or airport. Mainly for a bit of mommy-piece-of-mind. I wrote a post about it on my other blog. To see […]
A Life to Explore
To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson I wanted to share this quote with you today, and this […]
The Rain Cleared – Dubrovnik, Croatia
A little history of our desire to go to Croatia: Back in 2003 (before kids) Brett and I took a 7 month sabbatical to travel around the world. Almost 5 months of that trip was spent in Europe. Croatia was tentative on our itinerary. I can still remember the moment we decided to cross it […]
Spring Break Part 3 – Cavtat and a Rainy Dubrovnik
When we drove from Montenegro to Dubrovnik, we stopped in the town of Cavtat for lunch and to walk around, stretch our legs. It was a breezy, beautiful spring day. Finding our Air BnB apartment in Dubrovnik was a challenge. We literally drove around until we had no road left to drive on and had […]
Spring Break Part 2 – Mostar, Bosnia
We knew that traveling to former Yugoslavia would involve a bit of a history lesson – or a history reminder, rather. When we were in high school, this part of the world was in turmoil. As we traveled, we were constantly reading about the chaos that plagued this area in the 90’s. For the most […]
Spring Break – Montenegro
I failed to update this blog with the fact that after a few mild sunny days, winter returned to Copenhagen with a vengeance. Snow fell, fierce winds blew, the lakes refroze and people grumbled. Even though Southern Europe’s weather isn’t extremely better at this time of year, we were ready to get on a plane […]
Skiing – Isaberg Sweden
The tallest hill in Denmark is about 180 meters high. So, it’s safe to say that this country is very flat. The (lazy) runner in me appreciates this topography fact. I make up for the lack of cardio boost with a few sprints and call it good. I do not miss planning my running route […]
Spring Tease
How is it that the temperatures can still be so cold (hovering right around freezing today) and the lake still half frozen, yet spring can be felt in the air? Is it because more birds are chirping? Or because we spy tiny buds on the trees and even tinier flowers making their way through the […]
Garden by the Sea
Last week about 40 Tourism Master’s students, including myself, embarked on a 3-day trip to Kerteminde – a tiny seaside town on Funen, near Odense. We were sent there to work on a project with Visit Kerteminde, the destination management office for the region. Their new branding strategy, Haven ved Havet (or Garden by the […]
