Bøger om Copenhagen

Life in one of the world's most homogenous countries can be tough on foreigners. Why do Danish adults wear elf hats to parties? Should you wear one too? Why are Danish adults so kind and gentle around their friends, yet so vicious to strangers in bicycle lanes? Why is it OK in Denmark to talk openly about sex, but embarrassing to admit to ambition? 'How to Live in Denmark' is based on the podcast by Kay Xander Mellish, who has lived in Denmark since 2000. It answers these questions and many more about daily life as a non-Dane in 'the happiest country in the world'.

Years back, when I was working in a big international company, we would often get visitors from abroad asking what to see and do in Copenhagen. I used to do these small hand-drawn maps with tips and tricks of what they should do. Both the touristy things and those that would take them a bit off the beaten path; small Copenhagener secrets.Copenhagen tops charts on all kinds of metrics around the quality of life and happiness. ECA International recently crowned The Danish capital as the world's top destination for European expats. And I hope you can see why. I am, of course, totally biased. But I just love Copenhagen. The city exudes gorgeous, northern European style architecture, cobbled alleyways, beautifully decorated shop windows, and flowing canals. Copenhagen feels exceptionally laid back, somewhat spacious, and charming.

Vinni and Carsten drop their careers; sell their house and everything they own so they can live out their dream of circumnavigating on their sailboat, Capri. They took in their landlines and sailed out of Copenhagen harbor May 29, 2016. In a detailed and capturing tale, they describe their adventure and their lives as cruising sailors. The authors are open and honest in their description and don’t paint a rosy picture of cruising. Instead, they mix the sweet with the sour, offering up a true-to-life depiction of their lives as “boat bums”. The book is not only a travel book but also a tale of their voyage of inner discovery as they discover new sides of themselves and their relationship. Their stressful daily life, filled with meetings and appointments is traded for a lifestyle where the days merge into one. Far from their previous experiences they meet challenges in strange environments and on threatening oceans. The book describes their first leg of the circumnavigation, the trip from Copenhagen over the Atlantic, up the east coast of the United States and their transit of the Panama Canal. Capri – Sailing Distant Seas can be enjoyed by not only sailors but also “landlubbers”. Excerpt from the bookCarsten orders me out in the bows to make a video of our entrance to New York Harbor. I pan with the camera, begin my narrative and feel a lump rising in my throat. I fight my tears back, but can hear my voice breaking as I try to describe this morning. When I swing the camera over and focus on the “Little Lady” (Statue of Liberty), the dam breaks, tears stream down my face and I cry aloud as I talk about sailing into New York. I’m overwhelmed that we have gotten here. Sailing into New York harbor is completely surrealistic for me.
