Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
"I love Copenhagen and I have not one but many favourite places. For example, Nansensgade in central Copenhagen is my favourite street. It has a pleasant, almost village-like vibe with lots of cosy cafes and eateries, and particularly the local pizzeria 'La Fiorita' shines with its genuine, familiar, Italian atmosphere and not least Italian cuisine.
I am also very fond of the Botanical Gardens only a stone’s throw away from bustling Nørreport Station. This is a place where you can sit in peace, read a book and enjoy the many delightful flowers and trees. It’s wonderful all year round – but perhaps especially in the spring, when all the flowers and trees in the garden are in full bloom.
Another delightful place I really recommend is 'La Banchina' on Refshaleøen in the middle of Copenhagen Harbour. In the summertime, it’s lovely to sit on the pier while enjoying an Aperol Spritz in the evening sun or perhaps a dip in the water – you’re allowed swim in special sections of the harbour.”

What kind of music are you fond of?
“When it comes to pop, one of my current favourites is Andreas Odbjerg, I think he has a lot of feeling in his singing and he is a talented songwriter.
I also enjoy listening to Marie Key, I like the characteristically fragile sound that she has in her voice.
Cæcilie Nordby is one of my favourites when it comes to jazzy stuff, she is a phenomenal singer who is really capable of awakening all your senses.”

What are your favourite places in Copenhagen?
”I live on Vesterbro in Copenhagen.
I like sitting on a step in my neighbourhood while I drink the coffee I brought with me and read a book, all while the sun sets over the rooftops and warms my face.
I also love all the many locations by the waterfront in Copenhagen. I stare so far out over the horizon that water and sky meet behind a bridge, a kayak, some swimmers, a boat – or a gliding bird.
I feel at home at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. This is a place where I can recognise thoughts and feelings that I am no longer alone with. The artworks of these contemporary artists provoke and inspire me. I admire them.
I like to take my friends or family on a one-day holiday in Copenhagen. A day to experience known or unknown places together. Perhaps an event on Facebook or Instagram makes us pack a small bag and go out to experience Copenhagen.
I truly AM here in Copenhagen.”

Do you have a favourite book in Danish?
”I am very fond of Inger Christensen’s ’Alfabet’, which is a collection of poems starting with:

1 abrikostræerne
abrikostræerne findes, abrikostræerne findes

2 bregnerne
bregnerne findes; og brombær, brombær og brom findes; og brinten, brinten.

The collection develops in a rhythm carried by the sequence of the alphabet and the Fibonacci numbers. Using beautiful words, you get a lovely trip into a world that you know and see anew.”
