Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
"I would like to recommend several places, partly because of the nature, but also because of the social environment there.

I often visit Søndermarken in Vesterbro, both for walks and sledging, but also when there are festivals, such as the the Bloom festival, which takes place every May. It is a scientific festival, free of charge, and attended by all kinds of people. You can also volunteer for the festival and build a large network.

Another place where you can volunteer and meet both foreigners and Danes is at the venue Alice. There are concerts with fantastic bands from all over the world, and people who come to the venue interact with each other, including the volunteers.

A final place, which is beautiful and where people talk to each other across various groups, is at Kahyt og Kaffe. Here, you have a sea view, can look at houseboats, enjoy good simple food, and also intimate concerts."

Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”My favourite place in Copenhagen is definitely Nørrebro, it offers diversity and a pulsating city life. Another lovely place in the world is Torino – the city of magic. The café Albicerin is one of my favourite places in the city.”

”I have lots of favourite writers, including Danish writers such as Kim Leine and Martin Andersen Nexø, but also Gabriel García Márquez, Joseph Conrad, Umberto Eco, Naguib Mahfouz etc.”
