Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?  
"My favourite place in Copenhagen is The Royal Library Garden – a small, beautiful oasis in the heart of the city. The garden is located on Slotsholmen, between Christiansborg Palace and The Royal Library. It’s filled with flower beds and old trees, and in the centre, there’s a small pond.  
It’s amazing how such a peaceful and charming spot can exist right in the busy city centre.  
People come here to have picnics, read books, take a walk hand in hand, and on warm sunny days, they enjoy the sun and sunbathe. The garden is surrounded by Danish history and old architecture, yet it feels very cosy and welcoming at the same time."  

Can you recommend a Danish author?  
"If I were to recommend a Danish author to those learning Danish, especially beginners, I would choose Helle Helle. Her everyday stories, for example from the collection "Biler og dyr" (Cars and Animals), are simple in both language and plot, making them very reader-friendly. But there is also depth and many subtle reflections between the lines, offering insight into Danish life, mentality, and values. This makes them particularly exciting to read, especially if you want to get to know Denmark and the Danes better."

Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”One of my favourite places in Copenhagen is Fælledparken. I live nearby and visit it every day. It is one of the city’s recreational areas, and there is room for exercise, play, contemplation, calm and inspiration. I spent many years living in the Atacama Desert in Chile, so I am extra appreciative of the wide lawns and big trees. I enjoy following the changing seasons in the park. In the summer, one of my favourite places is Dansepladsen (‘the dancing square’) on the corner of Edel Sauntes Allé and Øster Allé – I love to dance tango and salsa there. In June and July, there is Sommerdans (‘summer dance’) at the square, and you can get free lessons in many kinds of dance – including Danish folk dance!”

Do you have a favourite place outside of Copenhagen?
”An oasis outside of Copenhagen that I often visit is the art museum Louisiana in Humlebæk. This is a place where art, culture and architecture meet in a harmonious interaction with nature. I like to round off my visits in their cafe, enjoying a cup of coffee and the beautiful view across Øresund to Sweden.”
