Wanderlust: Denmark part 2
Traveling through North Zealand part of Denmark felt like discovering one of the biggest secrets of Instagram. So this is how people get to take these perfectly moody blue/gray photos! Of course, before Instagram this was called the painters’ light, as my Danish friend Sussi reminded me when we pulled up to a particularly stunning vista. Our day started in Hundested, a small, coastal town northwest of Copenhagen. Then, onto Torup, and heading towards the sea, I encountered my first Danish fairytale village. It was 10 in the morning, as we meandered through the village’s country lanes, only greeted by a lone dog walker. No cars, no crowds, the only…

Australia: indoor/outdoor living
This past weekend reminded me that I still have not posted my favorites from Brisbane visit this summer. I guess, I needed a cooler weather to truly capture the feel of the city that seems to have perfected all season indoor-outdoor living. Where the doors are always open (or gone altogether), where you warm up quickly by the fireplace in the morning with your flat white, before heading out on the porch to eat. As I watched my Sunday evening guests huddle around the grill trying to warm up hands (yes, I made everyone stay out as long as I reasonably could!), I thought about Brisbane… Then, there is flat…
