The ATWS 2017 Women Leadership Summit is inspiring and bold. Thanks @moe_carrick for the brilliant facilitation in these beautiful settings. @adventure.travel_ #ATWS2017 #visitsalta I must say, the level of karaoke is much higher here than I’m used to 😂...this lady was just a regular customer at the local restaurant, but then she asked if she could sing. #visitsalta #karaoke #nightlife #doargentinianssleep Totally brought gear for the wrong weather. I had thermal underwear, waterproof clothing and a down jacket for our Pre Summit Adventure in @sanmartindelos... but we were blessed with sunny days. In Salta it has been 30 degrees and I’m really missing my summer dresses. 😝 Managed a quick swim at the rooftop pool before the super long day 2 of #ATWS2017 begins. Thought it was a good time to wear our waterproof gear 😜 #designsuites #rooftop #highlife #visitsalta @visitsalta @arcticyeti #ATWS2017 Making empanadas, yet another bbq and horseback riding - a fun and relaxed Day of Adventure in Salta! And I’ve already met some awesome people at #ATWS2017 #latergram #visitsalta @adventure.travel_ @visitsalta #adventurelife Today I felt like a triathlete. We started with a 17 km bike ride to Lake Machonico, then kayaked for 2.5 hrs on the lake, and finally cycled 25 km back to @sanmartindelos. I’m gonna sleep well tonight, but I’m so happy I finished it! #ATWS2017 #adventuretravel #sanmartin @patagonia #patagonia #anotherworld Today we went hiking up through snow and bamboo to this view point. Yeh, when I consider this is my job I feel so privileged. ❤️ Thanks @andestrackarg for a great day. #lovemyjob @sanmartindelos #thisisadventure #ATWS2017 #andestrack #stolehisshot #instagramit First cycle with AndesTrack Expediciones done! Two hours going through the beauty of Lanín National Park... I must say, dirt track biking is not my forte and we went downhill quite a lot so I was just making sure not to crash! But it’s good to push yourself out of your comfort zone, right? Today it’s white water rafting and hiking, yay💪 #ATWS2017 #presummitadventure It’s not bad being a kid in Copenhagen. Here My little girl is on an excursion to Langelinjie with her daycare. And even though I’m far away from my family, I still get journal and photo updates through this amazing app every Danish daycare uses. #wagon #wagonrides #daycare #konkylien #kbhforældre #technology #thesedays Into a gorgeous home in Buenos Aires ❤️ #atws2017 #adventureawaits I could eat this type of Danish breakfast all day. Dark rye bread, (smiling) soft boiled egg, cheese and avocado, yoghurt with toasted muesli 😋 I think we might end up regulars at this little Vietnamese kitchen. No MSG in their food, so I drank the entire bowl of soup! #lunch #cphfood #ilovevietfood #yummy On our way to World Press Photo exhibition - we didn’t mean to colour coordinate with the bus. 😆 #busride #copenhagen Photo: @jonaswedel Congratulations to these two lovely people for 12.5 years together! We are so glad we met you in Greenland - and it’s been wonderful living together with you in Copenhagen. Our little girl loves it too. #copper #latergram #onefineday #copenhagenlife #copenhagen #ermitage Flashback to three years ago when we went for a walk around a mini iceberg forest - just right outside the @ilovegreenland office at Colonial Harbour!

Sunrise is late enough that I’m actually awake to watch the horizon turn from dark to red to blue... Suddenly I need to switch on lights for dinner, and I’m even lighting candles to make it cosy! Copenhagen you are growing on me ❤️ #newlife #anotherworld #copenhagenlife #copenhagen #yetlifeisnotsodifferentanyway #sunrise #myhome #myview #urbanlife #latergram #nofilter Round and round an iceberg we go... To tell you the truth I've seen my fair share of icebergs. But we were all mesmerised into silence by this beauty. Good times with @arcticboatcharter @jesuissama @girlwanderlist @elialocardi @wildjunket @jonathanpozniak @juan___sancho #anotherworld #iceberg #polar #colourfulnuuk #greenland #greenlandpioneer In the settlement of Tiilerilaaq /Tinit, the locals dry fish + polar bear skins. Tinit is in remote East Greenland twice over. Think: 3-4 hour sailing trip from the main town of Tasiilaq, depending on ice conditions. I was so lucky to visit Tinit last month with a #vntm17 pretour. Coming from the outer world, it is difficult to imagine how one lives there. The settlement gets supply ships with food only a few times a year during summer while the sea has not frozen over. During the rest of the year the stock is not as plentiful. And they did not have telephone connection for the past two weeks when I was there. Licensed hunters shot this polar bear, because it came into the region. The villagers have either already eaten or stocked up on the meat, and the person who first spotted the polar bear received the fur. There are strict quotas regulating how many polar bears can be taken in each area of Greenland. And that's all for now! It is difficult to show a polar bear skin without providing context, so that's why this feels like an essay! 😅 #tinit #tiilerilaq #eastgreenland #greenlandpioneer #slowlife #greenland #anotherworld #polarbear #hunting #fishing #remote #vntmpretour #vntm17 The perfect backdrop. I love autumn colours. #fall #autumn #leaves #bike #notmybike This is still one of my favourite photos from our summer holiday in South Greenland. I didn't really know what to expect since it was our first time hiking with a baby but it was quite luxurious in the end - we stayed at farm stays, hostels and hotels and did treks that accommodated her sleep patterns. Totally slowed down - and ate surprisingly well too :) #greenland #explorersbynature #southgreenland #slowlife #slowdown #life #bliss #myfamily #mobile @ritagauland is refilling her bottle with fresh water in the Valley of the Flowers in Tasiilaq. Crisp, cool, soft, refreshing - I absolutely love the taste of Greenlandic H2O! @katlatravel #hiking #greenland #greenlandpioneer #eastgreenland #water #pure
