Fancy Danish Smorrebrod

It's delicious, it's distinctly Nordic, it's relatively healthy, and it's surprisingly more complicated than one would think.  What is it?  It's Danish Smørrebrød or "Smorrebrod".  In the past I've written about local …

You Will Never Make Friends Sitting In A Dark Room By Yourself

It has been 22 months since I arrived at Copenhagen Airport lugging three over-sized suitcases and a backpack.  I arrived in Denmark with lots of assumptions and unknowns and very little concrete data.  The sum of my p…

Meeting Royalty Abroad: A Danish Prince

As an American, I find the concept of royalty intriguing. I can't say I really know where I stand on the issue.  On the one hand, it seems like a fun nod to history and a great added cultural dynamic to help represent a nation's culture, heritage, and identity without many of the political trappin…

Please Don’t Segregate Me!

It's one of the fundamental but often overlooked or ignored pleas that international students make. As a full degree student (someone doing an entire MA program here in Denmark) one of my biggest concerns and top prior…

In 2007 I set out on a three-month solo trip through Europe, in 2011 I re-located to Copenhagen. I’ve been authoring VirtualWayfarer ever since with a focus on sharing stories, musings, and advice through a visually and narrative rich format. I’m also the author of Practical Curiosity: The Guide to Life, Love & Travel and the inventor of the MistDefender lens cloth.

I document my travels on a Sony A7RV and iPhone 16Pro.
