My childhood home will soon be gone. Soon it will be nothing more than a memory. Many people have moved several times during their upbringing, but to me – my family’s house is the only home I have...
In November 2012 I participated in a local pitch-night in Copenhagen – giving a short inspirational speech about one of my current projects. The project I spoke about was a social experiment in the...
On the day you died it was grey and raining. The sky was weeping along with the rest of us. It was very fitting. Dark and heavy. I have cried a lot for you. Whenever I think of you or think of...
Welcome to the winter.
11 days ago I said goodbye to my mother. I said goodbye to my mother who gave birth to me 31 years ago and who has held me, raised me and loved me the best way she knew how from that day and until...
Denmark is beautiful in the fall. So many colors everywhere.
I started a new job back in Denmark. My new job is as a teacher in a non-formal school system we have in Denmark called “folk high schools”. It has been a dream for a long time, so I am very...
Everything going on in Gaza these weeks is making me sick. But what is making me sicker than anything else is the media cover of it. All the talk about “Israel only responding to rockets from Gaza”...
When we are happy we don’t need a lot of motivation to do things. The things we like we do because we want to and the things we don’t like we do because – why not? But what happens when everything...
One of the last things I had the pleasure of doing in Jordan before I left, was going on my first rock climbing trip. I went with my friend Hakim and some of his buddies and it was an amazing...
Back home. Home sweet home. I missed it so much, and so much has been going on the past month and a half, that I haven’t blogged at all. Thought about it many times – doesn’t that count for...
Sometimes I wonder why we create relationships with other people. Both family, business, friendships and romantic relations. Don’t we create them because we need or want something from the other...
Every day we think about people. We think of people we love. People we miss. And we might get very sad doing that. We might get sad if we know we are thinking about people who are not thinking...
Over the past 3 years of roaming around Jordan and beyond, there is one place I always return to. Whenever it is time to relax and enjoy a bit of sun I go there. I go to Aqaba. I go to Darna...
I love adventure. I love the outdoors. I love hiking. Jordan has so many beautiful scenaries to explore outdoors. I recently added a new place to the list of favorite places in the country. The...
He pulls out his phone while we are talking. He starts flipping through pictures on it. He stops at one. He shows it to me. It is a young man with his guitar. “This is one of my best friends back...
Fragments Fragments, only fragments That is all I know of you All you know of me Perfect You could be perfect Everything I dream of If I only knew Fair How can it be fair? Hating me for choices...
Everything comes to an end. It must. Sometimes it ends by choice – ours or others – and sometimes it ends by chance. Sometimes the ending is sad. Sometimes it is heartbreaking. Sometimes...
Just returned from a re-visit to Dana Nature Reserve and as always it was a mesmerizing experience. It is truly one of my favorite places in Jordan. Enjoy the pictures. All photos are taken by...
See me now Open and exposed See my flesh and bones and hurt On exhibition My beating heart So wild and confused It’s my humble, beating heart In arrhythmia Hard to breathe A pain in my chest Making...
I have always liked systems. Order. Structure. It is the first thing I search for whenever I am faced with something new or chaotic. I search for a system. A way to organize the chaos. I cannot...
Yesterday I was chilling outside with some friends and enjoying a little bit of sun. Just a cozy Saturday afternoon in Amman. But of course – as soon as I laid down and lifted my pants up a bit to...
I was walking down the street caught up in my own thoughts. Caught up in my own life. Not noticing a thing around me. “BANG!!!” Suddenly I was on the ground. Tumbling around. On my knees. Already...
Pictorial memories from one week in Lebanon. Much needed vacation. One of my favorite places.
Sometimes when I am in a bad period in my life I start to doubt everything about myself. I let other people step on me, I take their words in, and I let myself be brought down by them. I forget all...
When I was a child I used to dream of monsters underneath my bed. I dreamed about evil, scary, green monsters who were chasing me. They would be so close to me that I could smell their stinky...
We were sitting on the roof in the early morning. Sipping a cup of tea and taking in the beautiful landscape that unfolded itself before us as the sun rose to the sky. Complete silence. Gently...
I have a little paper cut. You know – one of the little ones between two fingers. The paper just sliced open the bare skin between my index and middle finger in a heartbeat. In less than a...
What I have noticed from recent and not so recent experiences is that there is a certain pattern in the way people deal with friends who are suffering from heartache. The first pattern plays itself...
Okay – let’s say that you were a Dane. And let’s say that you were a Dane who were supposed to travel from Jordan to Palestine to start work there (and no, it is not about me ). Now let’s say –...
