As you know Gitte passed away 15 December 2019.
I have decided to leave this blog as a living proof of all our memories and all the fun we had travelling around the world.
SHE WAS THE ROCK AND INSPIRATION FOR US ALL
OUT OF OUR SIGHT BUT NEVER FROM OUR HEART

New ZealandOur 'new' home - Auckland, New Zealand. We've lived in NZ for 18 years now and absolutely love it! No where else will you find nature like this. 20 minutes by car and we're in the rain forest. We have beaches, mountains, bush, amazing produce - for amazing food. And the best wine in the world! And the people..... The BEST!

DenmarkDenmark is where we were born and raised. We still have friends and family in Denmark and it's still a very important part of us. We're proud of our Danish heritage and we still seek out Danish design, enjoy Danish traditions - especially around Christmas - and still feel strongly about anything Danish. We will always be Danes in our hearts.

Italy & Greece - favouritesWe have both lost our hearts to Italy. We love the Northern part of Italy, including Venice with all the little streets to get lost in. We love Cinque Terre, Tuscany and Umbria - and the Amalfi Coast. And - the best part - the most Southern part; Puglia with Lecce and Galipoli. And Greece - love the old part of Athens and all the islands - especially Naxos and Paros.

Rest of the worldWe still have places around the world on our bucket list. Places we want to go and things we want to experience, like a road-trip to Andalusia in Spain, a walking holiday in Scotland, Machu Picchu in Peru, and a relaxing trip to Bora Bora.
And then there are places we like to re-visit, like New England in US to see autumn colours - and definitely more of Italy; like Sardinia and Sicily! Read more..... |
Food, Wine & RestaurantsFood and wine is a big part of our life. Per uses cooking as a relaxer when he gets home from work and what he cooks is always amazing. And I love to eat whatever he cooks.
So when we travel Per gets inspiration when we eat out and finding just the right place is therefore very important :) Food is Per's creative out-let and me - I'm just lucky ) Read more..... |
Relais & ChateauxHaving traveled as much as we have, we've become a bit 'picky' when it comes to hotels. Or maybe it's just because we're getting older and life is simply too short to not enjoy all the hotels we stay in....
We find that hotels that are part of the group 'Relais & Chateaux' fits us really well. Read more..... |
