Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved adventures. I have been traveling the world fra my early teens, working and studying abroad, and visiting many countries. I am drawn to different cultures and people, seeing how people are living in a different parts of the world.  I find satisfaction in expanding my knowledge of the world, cultures, and people and I think it makes me a better and more understanding person toward other people. 

And when it comes to this love for exploring the world I hope my kids will take after me. I hope I can inspire others to travel and explore the world, and maybe in a more unusual way and to places a bit off the road.

There are still many places I haven’t been and my list of places to see before I die is long.  But I will travel for as long as I can, and I will be overwhelmed and amazed by the beauty of the world. Thinking of traveling the world leaves a smile on my face, I am so fascinated to experience how beautiful and the stunning world we are living in. 

I grew up just north of Copenhagen close to the sea, and as a young girl, I started sailing. I sailed for many years until my teens and other things started to fill my life like school and boys. But now many years later I have found joy in sailing again and that is why I now live my dream of sailing across the Atlantic ocean.

It took many considerations and thoughts and I still have doubt that I am doing the right thing to live my dream. I have two kids and a company  – how are they going to do without me? For many years I have always put family and company first, I think it is time to put myself first. I have to learn to give my kids the responsibility to manage without me for a while, they might grow as individuals and learn to take care of themselves and they are not alone, they have a father nearby. So why is it I have all these thoughts and doubts? Is it because I am not in control of their lives? This travel and adventure will change me as a person but how I don’t know yet.

For the past 22 years, I have worked as an independent photographer. I have a nice studio where I worked and where other photographers have rented offices. I love my job because not one day is the same but I have woked safe- meaning that I haven’t really pushed myself to try new things. I would love to balance my work with more creative things, and I hope the journey I am on will give me new inspiration and ideas.

We all need to develop in our jobs and I haven’t been good at doing this. But changes have to start in some way and mine might start on the boat or on the beach some nice place in the Caribbean.

I have always dreamt of making a book with faces from all over the world, so I will take a lot of portraits of local people from different islands. But I will also push myself into more creative photos and street photography. when back home I will show my work at an exhibition, and that is really something new because then I am in focus and I have always been afraid of what people think of my wok.
