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

For my first entry i'd like to take it back to the 8th of NOVEMBER. At this time i was still living with my first host family, the Hansens, but on this particular weekend i was picked up by Lone and Poul, my second host parents, in order to go on a trip out into the sea to hunt wild oysters (devilishly tricky to catch) I already knew Poul and Lone quite well because i had lived with them for 2 weeks while the hansens were over visiting the states and you guys in the 505. so i got picked up on saturday afternoon along with paco, an ecuadorian exchange student that is currently living with me, and we took to Grejs for the night before the big trip the next morning. The next day Lone, ... read more

Is this thing Working? i hope so, ive utterly failed at other modes of communication. Anyways its christmas time! and wow its pretty shitty! literally we just went out to clean the horses stable as their christmas gift:D Christmas is a really special time here in denmark, id even say that its more relished and celebrated then in the states. I think the reason is because seeing as november and december have the worst weather of the year and how the sun is down at about 330, the danes use christmas as a way to get out of the duldrums of winter. The xmas here is of course the same basic principal, but the way its celebrated and the thousands of traditions are totally different. and of course santa comes in wooden klogs. but alot of ... read more

The past few days I have been in Western Denmark, aka Jylland again. I got a really bad head cold the day before we left, which was highly unfortunate, but I survived. We left Copenhagen at 7am in the coolest bus i have ever seen. This bus was like a space bus, it had blue track lighting, a full bar in the back with a Heineken tap, like 10 TVs, reclining seats...it was AWESOME. (all the other groups got normal charter buses) So we drove over the Great Belt Bridge which connects Sealand and the island of Fyn. In Fyn we had an academic visit at the Svendborg Syghus...the hospital in Svenborg. Here we learned a bit about the hospitals role in the Danish healthcare system (quite different from the U.S.) and about telemedicine. We got ... read more

This past weekend I traveled to Ribe, Denmark, the country's oldest town. Because Denmark was never reached by the Roman Empire, no cities popped up until the small regional harbor was established at Ribe on the Western Coast of Jutland, Denmark in 704 AD. It took four hours to drive across the island of Zealand, Funen and then to the mainland peninsula of Jutland to Ribe. To get there we traversed the second largest suspension bridge in the world. Very cool. One of the small islands connecting the bridge to the two larger islands used to be the asylum for "hypersexual" women. Up until the later 20th century, women were not seen as sexual beings in Denmark and so any woman who seemed prone to wanton desires was removed from society and relocated to this tiny ... 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
