HAPPY EARTH DAY 💕🌎⁣ ⁣ It’s #earthday a HAPPY EARTH DAY 💕🌎⁣
⁣
It’s #earthday and I have been incredibly blessed to have seen parts of the world i could never dream of! ❤️🙏🏻⁣
⁣
Mother Earth and all her natural beauty is one of the major reasons I love to travel 🌴⁣Nature has always been so comforting to me. I’m so grateful for every opportunity I get to be outside, connecting with the earth. My hope is for future generations to be able to do the same.⁣
⁣
Remember to celebrate her today and every day! 🌸🌙⁣

5 basic travel mistakes I’ve made 🤣⁣⁣ ⁣ 5 basic travel mistakes I’ve made 🤣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🧭 Navigating to the wrong airport ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One time when I was in London I managed to go to the wrong airport. Something felt wrong when my flight was nowhere on the departure screen. Oops! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⛔️Packing prohibited goods in my luggage⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Did anyone watch the tv-show: Border Security: Australia’s Front Line? If yes, I am sure you are familiar with Australia’s strict bio-security laws that prohibit certain foreign foods, plant materials, and animal products from entering the country. Well, I decided to bring an apple from Denmark into Australia (not on purpose). Believe me! THEY WERE NOT PLEASED. Oops! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✈️ Not double-checking flight details⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gone to the wrong airport. But I have also gone to the right airport ... on the wrong date 🤦🏼‍♀️ The day after my flight departed. I guess I am staying in Bangkok a bit longer. Oops! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🎒Packing too much stuff⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On one of my first backpacking trips, I had this old backpack. I don’t know the exact size of it, but it was spacious. So I decided to cram in my whole wardrobe. I guess, I forgot I had to wear the thing on my back!! Oops. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🗓Filling up my itinerary⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Excitement and enthusiasm for my trips made me plan out my itinerary in microscopic detail before I even left. I planned everything out beforehand. Ugh, I quickly realized that was a mistake and not my traveling style. I realized that what I loved about traveling was the freedom and unexpected it gave me. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What are some of your basic travel mistakes? 😇😅⁣

Dear Traveling, I Miss You 💔⁣ ⁣ This has be Dear Traveling, I Miss You 💔⁣
⁣
This has been the longest time I’ve been in Denmark in years! 😅 The reality is though that I am so busy at the moment with my business that I sort of enjoy the fact that the world is under lockdown. It relieves me from my travel FOMO 🤪 and gives me time to be focused on my goals. Does anyone else feel like this? ⁣🤷🏼‍♀️
⁣
Anyways … that doesn’t mean I don’t miss traveling and that I can't wait to finally walk down the aisle again 👰🏼✈️⁣
⁣
So here is what I miss the most about traveling👇🏻⁣
⁣
👭 Friendships With Fellow Travelers.⁣
Travelers seem to have a different mindset than others. I miss meeting new and like-minded people from all over the world! ⁣
⁣
🕊The Freedom And Flexibility. ⁣
What I really love about traveling and this lifestyle is the absolute freedom it gives me to do what I want, when I want. ⁣
⁣
🍜 New And Exciting Foods.⁣
I have never really liked Danish food so I love to try exotic dishes with a lot of flavors! Also, one of my favorite things to do is to visit supermarkets in foreign countries. Anyone else? ⁣
⁣
🌏Seeing The Beauty Of Our Planet. ⁣
I get amazed every time! The world is so beautiful and I love getting that “wow” feeling when I see something AMAZING!⁣
⁣
🏛 History Becoming Present⁣.
I love history and there is something fascinating about walking in the places where so many have walked before me! ⁣
⁣
✈️ Constant variety. 
Again, I love going with the flow. There is something exciting about never knowing what the next day will bring. I absolutely love how different every destination is from the next.⁣
⁣
What do you miss the most about traveling?🤗✈️💭 ⁣

My little flat country 🇩🇰 ⁣ ⁣ One of my My little flat country 🇩🇰 ⁣
⁣
One of my favorite things to do is going on a fun hike. Especially in the mountains! 🏔Two of my favorite hikes are the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in New Zealand and The Kalalau Trail along the Nā Pali Coast of the island of Kauai in the state of Hawaii 🤩🌺⁣
⁣
One of the things I miss about living in Hawaii is the mountains and the endless hiking opportunities 🥾 ⁣
⁣
In Denmark, there are no mountains no matter where you look! 😅⁣
⁣
I love Denmark and our nature, but you should never go here if you want a wild hiking holiday. I mean, you can keep looking, but you won’t find any mountains. Denmarks highest points, Yding Skovhøj and Ejer Bavnehøj are 172 meters (564.30 ft) and 171 meters (561.02 ft) respectively and both found in Jutland where I am born and raised. ⁣
⁣
We even have a mountain called “The Sky Mountain”, which is .. hold on to your hat .. 147 m high! (482 ft). What a trek right? 😆🏔⁣
⁣
So as you can tell .. Denmark is more or less completely flat 🤷🏼‍♀️ Denmark does have a lot of other amazing things to offer though! 
⁣
What is your all-time favorite hike? ☺️ ⁣

Do you want to try solo traveling? ✈️☺️ If Do you want to try solo traveling? ✈️☺️ If so, I have a few tips for you! ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
In my last post, I talked a little bit about solo traveling and how that has been one of the most rewarding experiences. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Solo travel can really be one of life’s most inspiring adventures. But it can be quite daunting for a lot of people though! Especially if it’s your first time! ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
So here are some of my best tips if you want to go solo traveling ☺️👇🏻⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✈️ Plan in advance: ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Most of my solo trips have been quite impulsive. That’s just me! But if you are a little nervous or if it's your first trip I will highly recommend that you plan your trip in advance. You don’t need a detailed plan but you should know where you’re going to stay the first night.⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✈️ Arrive during daytime: ⁣⁣⁣⁣
For some reason, I always end up arriving doing nighttime. But I can’t recommend this! It can be a little scary to stand in a deserted airport in the middle of the night in an unknown country. Therefore, plan to arrive during the daytime so you don’t have to find your way through an unfamiliar city in the dark. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✈️ Go where other travelers are: ⁣⁣⁣⁣
I have never felt lonely on my solo trips. Hostels aren’t for everyone, but they are a great place to meet fellow travelers! ⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✈️ Use travel apps: ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Your phone can sometimes be your best friend when traveling. Download apps that can be helpful along the way. This could be GPS, translator, currency converter, travel guides, and so forth. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✈️ Trust your instinct: ⁣⁣⁣⁣
When you travel solo you should always be aware of your surroundings and remember to listen to your gut! If something doesn’t seem right? LEAVE! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To those who have already traveled solo: What is your best solo travel tip? ☺️✈️ ⁣⁣⁣⁣

Have you ever traveled solo? ✈️☺️ I’ve Have you ever traveled solo? ✈️☺️

I’ve traveled solo quite a few times now and I have grown every single time. It has always been an extremely good and rewarding experience. 

I won’t lie... I was nervous about traveling solo the first time. I was worried that I would get lonely or that it would be dangerous to be out there alone. Especially as a girl. But in reality, I didn’t have to worry about any of these matters. 

Instead, traveling solo taught me that I am stronger, more confident, and more capable than I first thought. Being nervous about traveling solo is totally normal. But if you can calm your nerves and give it a try, it’s an extremely rewarding experience and I wish everybody would do it at least once in their life 🙏🏻

Not only has traveling solo taught me a lot about the world in general, but it has also taught me a lot about myself as well. It has taught me that I CAN take care of myself. Even in foreign countries where I don’t know anyone or speak the language. 

Solo travel has undeniably made me a more confident and independent person. I know I can handle just about anything that gets thrown at me on the road and in life. 

Hopefully, we can all travel again safely in 2021 and maybe some of you will even go on a solo trip 🤗

Happy New Year, Guys ✨🤍❄️⁣ ⁣ Is it ju Happy New Year, Guys ✨🤍❄️⁣
⁣
Is it just me or does this COVID-19-thing seem like the never-ending story? 😂Denmark is now on the highest alert and under lockdown again. I really hope things will get better towards spring. I am pretty sure it will 🌺 Though things aren’t exactly the way I want them, I keep being surprisingly positive about life. There are so many things that I am looking forward to, and I can’t wait to be able to pack my bag and travel again! I have a few destinations in mind this year and hopefully, it’s going to be possible very soon! ⁣
⁣
Remember that one small positive thought in the morning can change a whole day ☝🏻☺️ ⁣
⁣
How are you mindset this new year? 🙏🏻
Danish Christmas traditions 🇩🇰❄️⁣ ⁣ Danish Christmas traditions 🇩🇰❄️⁣
⁣
🎄Dancing around the Christmas tree: ⁣
⁣
In Denmark, we dance around the Christmas tree while holding hands and singing carols. This is done after dinner and before opening the presents. It is without a doubt one of the most important traditions this night, but might also be one of the more awkward ones 😂🎄 Of course this depends on the family, but in my family, it often ends up being an uncomfortable dance around the tree while trying not to get burned by the candles attached to the tree while trying to remember the old Christmas carols. Usually, it ends up being a lot of unfinished songs and a lot of humming. But I love it ☺️⁣
⁣
🎅🏻 Santa brings presents: ⁣
⁣
In Denmark, children believe that their presents are brought by Santa or as we call him 'Julemanden' (which can literally be translated into 'Christmas Man'). In Denmark, Santa clause walks through the front door. No magic chimneys or in-the-middle-of-the-night magic required. Also, he is typically one of the family members (uncle or granddad disguised). ⁣
⁣
🎁 We open Christmas gifts on the 24th: 
⁣
After dancing around the Christmas tree it is finally time to unwrap the presents! The ritual of unwrapping the gifts in Denmark is a very slow gift séance. Especially if you are a big family! We carefully choose one presents at a time from underneath the Christmas tree, and then the rightful owner opens the present, while of course, everyone stares in intense anticipation. Smiling and looking pleased on commando is a good skill this night 😅⁣
⁣
Tell me one of your favorite Christmas traditions? ☺️🎄✨⁣

Today is Lucia Day 🕯✨ On December 13, Santa Today is Lucia Day 🕯✨ 

On December 13, Santa Lucia arrives, dressed in white to bring light to what is becoming a very dark land. Santa Lucia leads a procession of girls (now also boys) all dressed in white, and she has a crown of candles in her hair.

The day is celebrated all over Denmark each year.

The story of Santa Lucia is a sad story. Santa Lucia was a young Christian girl. In 304 A.D she was martyred and killed for her faith. The most common story about Santa Lucia is that she would secretly bring food to the persecuted Christians in Rome, who was secretly hiding in the catacombs under the city. Santa Lucia would wear candles on her head so she had both her hands free to carry as much as possible. 

In old Scandinavian history, Saint Lucia night is known to be the longest night of the year. Before the conversion to Christianity, the Norse made huge bonfires to ward off any evil spirits 🔥 

Do you celebrate Santa Lucia? 🕯

Failure Beer in Denmark ⁣🍺🇩🇰⁣ ⁣⁣ Failure Beer in Denmark ⁣🍺🇩🇰⁣
⁣⁣
If you make a mistake in Denmark, don't be surprised if someone tells you that you owe them a "Failure Beer"! 🍻 ⁣
⁣⁣
In Denmark, you’re supposed to be able to laugh at your own mistakes. Having a sense of humor about yourself is what the Danes call “self-irony”, which is a very important aspect of Danish society. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In fact, we as Danes have a tradition called 'kvajebajer', which translates to failure beer. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Failure Beer is when a person makes a big mistake. Then that person can offer a 'failure beer' as a way of playfully admitting that he or she has done something stupid, and that way gets acceptance from the people involved. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Have you ever done something where you probably should have given a "failure Beer" to someone?  And what did you do? 😂 🍺 ⁣

Instagram and its community 🙏🏻💕⁣ ⁣⁣ Instagram and its community 🙏🏻💕⁣ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
One of the great things about living in the time and technology age is that we can connect with almost anyone from anywhere in the world! 🌍👭⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Social Media has allowed us to connect and befriend people we may have never met in real life! We can now find and connect easily with like-minded people who have the same interest, dreams, and goals in life. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Instagram has introduced me to many amazing souls digital and in real life and I am finally not feeling alone in the world when it comes to my lifestyle 🙈📸✈️⁣
⁣⁣⁣
My choices in life have always been slightly different than most people around me. I am that weird girl who travels and never settles, that weird creative girl who run around with her camera all the time and takes photos of herself and blog, and that weird girl who doesn't chase a normal 9-5 job 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I will most likely always be that weird girl, but at least now I have lovely weirdness all around me thanks to the Instagram community. Being that weird girl suddenly feels more normal 😇 ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So thank you! 🙏🏻 ⁣Do you use Instagram to create a community as well? 😃 ⁣

Saying goodbye to fall and hello to winter ❄️🍂⁣
⁣
Danes love to talk about the weather! It is probably because we are never really happy about it 😂☀️🌧
⁣
When it rains we think it’s annoying. After all, we get wet and our plans have to change. But when it’s dry weather, we complain that it’s been dry for too long and that our fields dry out. If it’s snowing we will complain that it’s getting difficult to get around and that it’s too cold. But if it doesn’t snow we will complain and say it isn’t a real winter. ⁣
⁣
It’s easy to say that Danes loves to talk about the weather and that our opinion changes a lot according to our mood 😆⁣
⁣
Danes are vikings though. So even though we like to complain a little about the weather, we do have a saying: “There is no bad weather. Only bad clothing”. ⁣
⁣
Do you agree with our saying? ☺️ ⁣
