Welcome to My Travel Blog!

My story

Every summer when I was a little kid, my parents would take us to Greece for four weeks. We would go camping in a tent in different parts of Greece. My childhood adventures included exploring the marine life on every beach we visited, eating squishy octopus for dinner, traveling with slow ferries between islands, and being invited into the homes of the local Greek people for sweets and coffee.

I have since then traveled solo to Thailand, Kenya, Belize and Guatemala, places I never dreamed that I would be able to go without a guide – or let alone as a female solo traveler!

I learned that traveling is as good as you make it. You decide the where, when and how. I make the most of it when I have my own agenda and try to experience the authentic life wherever I go.

Thoughts about career paths

When I was younger I dreamed of becoming a vet and work hands-on with animals every day. Despite all my hard work I didn’t get the straight A’s I needed in high school to pursue my dream career. But I figured there was another way to work with animals!

Instead of becoming a vet, I found my passion within Ecology and wildlife. I completed my Bachelors in Biology and Master’s degree in Terrestrial Ecology at the University of Copenhagen, where I learned about evolution, animal behavior, genetics, ornithology and zoology among other things.

My passion about wildlife and birds in particular has taken me all the way to where I am today and where my traveling takes me.
