Parenthood and baby

On giving birth in Greenland

We made a little Greenlandic baby!

May 29, 2016 in Culture / Food in Greenland, Parenthood and baby.

Instagramming

I tried to jump but I couldn’t 😬 this was one of those times where I needed peer pressure to take the final leap, but there was no one there on this day to jump before me. PS The famous #Death Rock is the highest ledge on the right. #tjärö @tjaroblekinge
Skipping along to Tjärö - a gorgeous island in Blekinge. We set up tent and plan to be here for a few nights, unless it pours cats and dogs as the weather forecast predicts. Then we might follow the sun instead 🌝 @jonaswedel has planned the logistics for this trip, but I do love that we haven’t booked any places and are just #goingwiththeflow. It’s a far cry from the part of my everyday job which is planning press and FAM trips to @visitgreenland - if you want to visit Greenland you definitely need to plan more! #organisednotorganised #goingwiththeflow #summer #summerishere #longpost #nofilter #tjärö #blekinge
Cooking by the lake.
Program for the week: canoeing and camping in Sweden by lakes, forest and along the coast ⛺️😎#thesimplelife
View from the top. A must-do for those who like a view! #microadventure #vorfrelserskirke
#Nofilter needed this gorgeous dusky evening. #camping #sunset
Testing out our new old tent tonight. You don’t have to go far to feel like you’re out in the middle of nowhere. 🌞🐠😎
Microbrew with a view. I’m sooooo crazy about @ebeltoft_gaardbryggeri’s sparkling juices that I had to taste it on location! I love the redcurrant and blackberry ones especially. @jonaswedel went for a beer. Wafts of farm life come with it.
I forgot that summers in Denmark can actually be hot... For the first time in five years, I might actually get a tan! 🌞 🦋 🌻 #selfie
I am terrible at posting regular Insta photos - yet, rather ok that I’m not addicted to it too. Here is a picture I took from the air of Stavanger en route from #visitgreenland agent training in the UK - I wouldn’t mind visiting the surrounding area. My first thought was: there’s no ice! 😂 #intransit #green
Last month when I was in Nuuk for a company seminar. Unfortunately there wasn’t much time to be out and about, but I can say that snow in Spring is something I don’t miss on an everyday basis. The ski and snow bunnies get an extended season, though 😉
Discovering the other side of the pond! This weekend Refshaleøen opened up with a food and design market. Looks delicious! From a tourism development perspective it is so interesting to see how Copenhagen is expanding its city heart beyond the centre.
And suddenly, with this beautiful wall, I was in medieval Denmark. Where there are damsels in distress and knights of honour.
Private terrace dining for mini people 😜
Sweden, thank you for the perfect countryside getaway. While visiting an old colleague and friend, I especially found out that I liked your cute wooden houses filled with quaint wallpaper, farms with fresh dairy produce, and lakes where you can play mini golf from (?) #idyllic #alsterbro
It’s all about perspective, isn’t it? I see a well-groomed hedge, she sees a labyrinth ready for exploration. #childhood #copenhagenlife #green #summerishere
How to roast marshmallows and bread on a stick. It’s been a refreshing back-to-basics getaway at scout camp with friends.
I’ve been in Greenland for a few intense days of #visitgreenland company seminars and workshops. I’m so tired, yet buzzing with positive energy from all the events. And then I drove by this view in my old hood - suddenly it felt like I was at home again. ❤️ @ilovegreenland #greenlandpioneer #colourfulnuuk
Last night, for the first time since I moved to Copenhagen, I dolled up and partied in town! Cocktails 🍸 + live music 🎵 + happy dancing💃🏽 = fun night! PS My talented colleague and friend Mads is the lead singer of a band called Slackjack. He’s one good entertainer!
Did I ever tell you that we live in a shared home? We’re friends who met in Greenland, and for the past year we have been living together. Soon these lovely ppl will move into their own nest. I will miss their company, wonderful meals, and not having to cook so much. And Pippa will miss two more ppl to say good morning to 😉 To new adventures xx #sharingiscaring
