Home Sweet Home
There is no place like home is a familiar saying. We felt joy when the landing wheels hit Danish soil. I actually got a small tear in my eye, despite the view outside offered gray weather and even a few raindrops.

Four home bound Danes stand before a French official 90 minutes before departure: “Your names are not on the High Commission’s approved list you cannot board! Try again in a week. Apply online immediately tonight.
We are rapidly approaching our departure to Denmark. We are starting to look forward to coming home, but all of us also feel sadness of having to leave Polynesia.
Which animals have we seen under water as divers? That’s right we are now divers. We took an Open Wtaer Certificate as you read in Lauges post. We finished Monday at lunch time.
We woke up in the beautiful house on Moorea, where we got a really good breakfast. After the breakfast we chilled. After some time mom and Jannick went hiking - with many beautiful pictures as a result..
Our wonderful villa was occupied this weekend by Tahitians from Papeete. So we decided to spend a couple of days at Manava Resort where we spent two weeks in January.
Hundreds of millions of people get mosquito-borne disease every year, and one million people lose their lives to mosquitoes every year. Here in French Polynesia there are an incredible number of the little annoying animals ....
As agreed the day before, we got up to make breakfast at 08.00 in the morning. We wanted to wake up mom with singing around 08.30, but some lovely people at home wanted to sing ...
When we came back to shore after three days on the sea we needed to wait for a boat that would sail us to an island where the airport is. When the boat arrived we left...
“Upper Class” was Richard Branson's choice of name for his business class on Virgin. Upper Class is how I will name our four days trip by Catamaran in the lagoon of Bora Bora. I actually thought we had seen it all...

I have always had a longing for travel. For as long as I can remember I have had a dream about traveling the world for 6 months with my family.
Divorce, career and other things have always pushed the dream aside.
We always traveled a lot with the children. We spent several hours in the car dragging our caravan to numerous places and also traveled by plane both near and far. Experiencing together is what gives unity, strength and a common frame of reference for our family.
I’m the planner. I research TripAdvisor, travel blogs, travel literature and homepages for travel bureaus just to make sure we don’t miss out on the most cozy restaurant, the beautiful viewpoints, the biggest nature experiences or the cultural highlights.
We rarely book a lot in advance since we enjoy the spontaneity. However we come fully prepared so that we can go back home with the feeling of having experienced everything.

My first longer travel abroad was a high school exchange stay in the United States. I developed a taste for traveling and took a job in the UN. I lived in Thailand, Switzerland and Egypt. When I became self employed in my own business I really started traveling. The company had many assignments in the East and in Africa. The best journey of my life was in Japan. I traveled 100 days from north to south with my youngest son Frederic.
I travel for enjoyment. I don’t like to plan too much, but take joy in being surprised and choosing new goals from day to day. I like getting to know a lot of people on the way.

Wifi is essential on the journey. The wifi password is the first thing I ask for at restaurants and hotels. Waiting hours are spent on-line. Being on-line is especially a good companion on long hauls.
Question number 2 after the wifi password. Is: Will there be a swimming pool? This is where I spent most of the day if possible.
When I blog I am writing in both Danish and English. I translate myself as it’s a part of my home work on our journey.

I love the sense of togetherness we have as a family when we are traveling. I cherish the memories we create together.
I enjoy active skiing holidays and vacations spent relaxing by the pool.

All details are documented by film when we are traveling. It is mixed into funny video clips for everyone’s entertainment.
I want to experience everything; the culture, the food and meet the people.
Just bring me a long - I am ready.
