Dont forget to take that picture while you have the chance! That´s the best travel tip someone has ever given me. Many, many times I thought to myself – I take it tomorrow, I’ll be back and I never did. That said please be respectful when you photograph people. Ask kindly – if the refuse then don’t take […]

I went to Fatehpur Sikri in 2002 on a trip to India. It is a really strange place, this deserted, dusty ghost town, but it did capture my imagination and I´m glad I went.

On my first visit to Tokyo in 2008 I was looking for an affordable hotel. I was told that Tokyo is very expensive (which might be true compared to the rest of asia, but not to european capitals like London and Paris!) You get so much more value for your money in Tokyo when it […]

As mentioned before, I don´t think that we have many great hotel in Copenhagen, unfortunately. But Bertrams Hotel is definitely an exception. I don´t think you will find the same value for money in many european capitals. The hotel is small and intimate and has a really good location, Vesterbro. Vesterbro is a hip area with […]

If you are travelling to the Syrian city Aleppo, you should stay a night at the legendary Baron Hotel built in 1909.

This must be the most enchanting garden on earth! Jardin Majorelle was founded in Marrakech in 1919 by painter Jacques Majorelle who open his garden to the public in 1947. It’s an overwhelming collection of plants, flowers and threes from all the continents. Jacques Majorelle died in 1962, and in 1980 the garden was bought by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, who restored the garden […]

The best flea market in Copenhagen in my opinion is the huge outdoor market behind the Frederiksberg city hall. Its open from march to october from 8.00 – 15.00. When it rains some of the more tough stall holders will be there, but the amateurs will stay at home. My sister and I usually have a stall […]

The best mid-range restaurant in Copenhagen with the most metropolitan atmosphere is the large, Vietnamese restaurant Le le Nha Hang, just called Le le. Its owned by four Vietnamese siblings. No matter which night os the week you visit Le le its always busy and full of happy people. You cannot reserve a table, but usually don’t have to […]
