Denmark Blog

Denmark

Welcome to my Denmark Blog. I was adopted from South Korea and grew up in a small village in Jutland. I have lived abroad for most of my adult life, but Denmark is still home. This is where I have my base, and where I return between trips. On the blog I write about Denmark as I experience it. The cities and the coastline, cafes and restaurants, walks in the forest or along the water, weekends away, and small breaks from everyday life. This blog is my take on Denmark. A mix of nostalgia and new discoveries from the country I call home.
