In the afternoon we took a walk ( 2 miles ) into town to visit the Hans Christian Andersen museum and his childhood home. On the way we passed the local Odense brewery of Albani with a gigantic can advertising the beer. ... read more

Så er der præcis en uge til vi rejser, og vi glæder os helt vildt. På Lørdag d. 20. feb. går turen til Hamburg, hvor vores rejse officielt starter. Vi har i godt et år gået og glædet os til denne dag, og håber I vil følge med i vores fantastiske rejse, her på bloggen. Vi opdaterer hurtigst muligt når vi er landet, så I ved at vi er kommet godt til New Zealand, som jo er vores første destination på rejsen. De sidste par dage har været meget hektiske, da vi har stået med udflytning og maling af lejligheden :( Men nu da det er overstået, har vi kun en ting i hovedet = 35-40 graders varme på New Zealand :)... read more

Kære familie og venner, Nu har vi lagt et kort ud, så I kan følge lidt med i, hvor vi egentlig skal hen. Vi starter den 17. september med flyve fra Kbh over London og Miami til Lima i Peru. Herfra begynder en 14 dages gruppetur igennem Peru, hvor vi kommer til at se en masse gamle indianer ruiner fra det gamle Inka-rige. Vi skal fx se Nazca linierne og på en 4 dags vandre tur til Machu Picchu. Herefter tager vi et 14 dages sprogkursus i byen Cuzco, hvor vi skal bo hos en lokal familie. Herfra går turen videre til Ecuador, hvor vi regner med at skulle bade i varme kilder og på en tur ud i Amazonas. Derefter forlader vi Sydamerika for at flyve lidt nord på til landet med tortillas, tacos, enchiladas, ... read more

Denmark - pre Bornholm 8/17 - 8/22 So we got our ride into the Center of Odense by Siva, who gave us each 200 kroner, and then went to the Library to try and find a place to stay. It didn’t take long at all actually. After only about 30 minutes of looking on CouchSurfing.com we got a response that we could stay at this wonderful chick Pia’s house. She lived about 4.4 kilometers (about 2 miles) away from where we were and welcomed us at anytime, even on such short notice. So cool! After the Library we headed to get some food with our 400 dkk. We really had no clue how much that was, even though it sounded like a lot to us. There was a little eating market place with a few restaurants, ... read more

So we called the bus station today and someone did drop off my wallet with everything inside. The cash, the visa, the debit...everything! I couldn't be more relieved. Only in Denmark I guess :) Today I spent the day working in the garden planting garlic for about 6 hours. The ecovillage asks that you work 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, in order to compensate for your room and board. Although it may seem like a lot, in return I not only stay for free but also learn the language, experience the culture and meet new people. It's a really enjoyable system. Tomorrow I will be doing some painting and repairing some fences. I hear the weather back home is fairly nice but here in Denmark the sky is grey from basically morning till ... read more

I'm currently visiting an ecovillage in central Denmark near the town of Hundstrup. Unfornately for me I believe (I can't be 100% sure) that I forgot my wallet on the bus when I switched busses about 2 km away from the town. Luckily for me I'm in the countryside so I will call the bus tomorrow and someone may have turned it in. Otherwise I will likely have to wait for a visa from Canada. Not to worry though, visa transactions have been stopped and at the most I lose around 200 in cash. It doesn't bother me all that much since I can just imagine losing the wallet in a much more precarious sitaution. In the ecovillage I simply work with my hands and pay absolutely nothing. I'm basically expense-free for the next two weeks. ... read more
