Imagine a bleak and cold autumn evening, the sun making its sleepy way toward the horizon. It’s the beginning of winter – after gathering enough firewood from the forest, you make your way back to […]
A person’s work will often tell you a lot about the person behind it. The mastery and artistry of a story may betray the vast intellect and depth of understanding of a person, the long hours spent poring over dusty books and tapping away at a keyboard. The gravity and grandeur of their work to be reckoned with, their opus is nothing to be even giggled at.
And then, you have humon.

Officially Greenland is an autonomous island but it is still recognized as part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and a proud one at that. It is considered the world’s largest island and with the lowest population density its beauty is largely untouched and unspoiled. The home of Santa Claus, the land of gigantic ice caps and ice bergs and where the northern lights are as common as seeing stars in the sky, Greenland is a place that should be in your bucket list whether you seek adventure or a romantic getaway. Here are some of the recommended activities to put in your list: […]
It is no secret that Danes like to drink but while other European countries are known for their beers, there are more varied selections of alcoholic beverages in Denmark.

The name may not sound pleasant but the town of Middelfart (which means “central passage”) is everything nice and charming lying on the island of Funen in the eastern part of Jutland. Archaeological records show that Middelfart has been a settlement even during the prehistoric times while the name Maethelfar first appeared in the Danish Census Book in the 13th century. During the Middle Ages, it was the seat of royalty where the Royal Castle of Hindsgavl was the site of historical milestones before it was destroyed in 1694. […]
Ilulissat literally means “icebergs” in the Greenlandic Inuit language, and in this tiny town in western Greenland in the Kingdom of Denmark can be found one of nature’s wonders, the Ilulissat Icefjord. Named into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004 what makes the fjord very interesting is its strategic location – as the sea mouth of one of the fastest moving and active glaciers in the world, the Sermeq Kujalleq (also known as the Jakobshavn Isbrae glacier) in the Disco Bay Area.

It has recently gained worldwide attention because of one polar bear cub – Siku, hailed as an online sensation when a BBC produced video was shown on Youtube. But the Scandinavian Wildlife Park has been providing countless hours of informative entertainment to local families as well as visitors to Denmark for many years.

Another example of a successful ecologically sustainable community in Denmark is Friland, located in Djursland in eastern Jutland. What makes Friland more interesting is that it was a collaboration between private individuals and a corporation – Denmark’s national TV station DR-TV. The idea was to create a cooperative that will enable families to build and own their homes free from debt, waste, mortgages or any tax deductions from the government. […]
Environmental consciousness has taken deep roots in Denmark and nowhere is this more evident than with the presence of ecological communities and sustainable cohousing developments. One such successful example is the Munksoegaard village located just outside Roskilde some 30 kilometers west of Copenhagen. A relatively new ecovillage, it was founded in 2000 but has already gained attention from environmental groups around the world for its innovative ownership method and the cohousing planning. […]
