"My heart beats for languages, for connecting people – and for great conversations that help us understand the world better. I am passionate about learning foreign languages myself because language is the key to expressing oneself, building relationships, and understanding the world around us. Languages offer us incredible experiences when we travel and choose to settle in a new country.
As a teacher, the thing I love most is creating a safe space where learners gain confidence and plenty of courage to speak Danish – something they can take with them beyond the classroom and into everyday life."
Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
"I have many favourite places in Copenhagen, but in summer, it's especially the beautiful parks – because I love flowers and French-inspired aesthetics, and there's plenty of that in Copenhagen!
One of my favourite spots is the perennial garden in the King’s Garden. Here, you’ll find a sea of stunning flowers that change with the seasons, and there’s a view of the charming Rosenborg Castle.
Another special park is Assistens Cemetery in Nørrebro, which seems almost to have landed right in the middle of Nørrebrogade. Walking along its winding paths is like stepping into a little adventure. It’s not a gloomy cemetery at all but rather a vibrant oasis in the city. So, when I long for a forest but don’t have time to leave the city, I take a walk here and admire the enormous trees.
At Assistens Cemetery, you can also encounter many famous (deceased) Danes – such as the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, H.C. Andersen, and Master Fatman. That’s why there are several guided tours available at this unique cemetery."
