Or should I rather get the new iPhone?
Copenhagen Kastrup apparently is among the World’s best airports (which can be confirmed by personal experience) while SAS is one of the most punctual airlines. The latter I have my strong doubts about, but the average delay of at least one hour before my return flight to Hamburg gives me time to explore the airport in more detail on a regular basis. Now I’m not the sushi frutti di mare kind of guy, Continue reading
Back to the (grass-)roots: Top-flier football in Greenland
For those of you tired of commercialised global sports competitions, Greenland provides a fine alternative: The Greenlandic championships in football. Taking place in August each year this competition is a fine show of commitment and love of the game in sometimes adverse but always beautiful conditions. Continue reading
Fancy a shave?

Finding the right work-life balance is a challenge in itself. And talking about work I wouldn’t limit my definition to my office job. Personally, I’d count watching football and having a bud to the “life” part, while “work” includes activities such as lawn mowing, doing the household (yes, we are a modern couple) and personal maintenance. With Saturdays being packed with work-life duties and pleasure it is not always easy to get everything done in time.
Being a frequent traveller to Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city and certainly a World leader in terms of hairdresser-density, I have significantly improved my work-life karma by getting my hair cuts on Tuesday nights when I’m away from home and family. This leaves more time for son and mom on Saturday, which is highly appreciated at home (although not every new hairdo is…). So when in Malmö, consider getting your hair done in Sweden’s barber shop capital. Continue reading

For many travellers to Greenland, Kangerlussuaq at the Western Coast is the first place they will set foot to on the World’s largest island. And what a good place it is to get a first impression. Bearing in mind that Kangerlussuaq International is the country’s biggest airport (well, the author has added “International” without official authorisation from the authorities) you’d not expect to be met with a lot of nothing in terms of urban life. But taking a trip to Greenland is very much about aligning expectations with reality. Kangerlussuaq is a settlement with a population of 400 located at one of the most weather safe places in Greenland. This made it attractive for the US Airforce during hot and cold wars – and also to scientists and nature lovers later on. Plus, you can be pretty certain that flights from and to Copenhagen will not be grounded due to bad weather. Continue reading
