Got some #happypost on this sunny Monday, including this gorgeous @thepirateandbluebellegallery calendar, dispatched from home, like a truly old-school #expat package. 😍 . . . #gourock #landscapes #landscapephotography #shoplocal #scotabroad #expatliving #myexpatlife #expatindenmark #layersofhome

New on the blog today, although it’s been on my mind for a while! . After this winter’s unusually high acqua alta flooding, the businesses of Venice are more reliant than ever on visitors bringing their spending power. . But La Serenissima needs a lot of care and attention. So if you’re planning a trip, you have to be gentle with her, and spend some time cultivating a healthy relationship 😉 . Follow the link in bio ⬆️ for my suggestions for slowing down, and visiting Venice mindfully. . . . #venice #slowtravel #italy #laserenissima #travel #instatravel #travelblogger #venezia #travelguide #recommendations #wanderlust #overtourism #thefrustratednester #farawayfiles @farawayfiles @rachaelherron @fallanivenezia @rowvenice

{English below} J’ai travaillé corps et cerveau ce matin avec une bonne randonnée pour accompagner le lever de soleil, et conversation toute en français 😇 . Good long walk this morning with the sunrise...worked my mind too with French conversation the whole way. . . . #esbjerg #sunrise #leverdesoleil #randonnée #morningwalk #danishskies #goodmorning #bonnejournée #danishliving #lecieldanois #maversionfrançaise #bodyandmind

That’s the Christmas decorations packed away. We keep things compact, just one box, always ready to fit in a shipment. 🎄 . So why do these cheesy festive plastic straws go back in the box every year? This year I even got out the superglue to repair one of them! . Here’s the story... . Actually, um, sorry! I started the story here, then remembered that I am COMMITTED to making the most of the blog this year, for reasons. So it’s over there, link in bio, only two quick taps away! ⬆️⬆️ . Please read, and I’d love to know the stories behind what makes it into your precious shipment space! 📦 . . . #expatstories #thefrustratednester #bloggingisthefuture 🤔 #expatliving #myexpatlife #expatfamily #internationalliving #lifeonthemove #makingspaceforstories #souvenirs #memories #mendandkeep

Yesterday I was mostly strutting about in this, which arrived thanks to a lovely friend who brought it in her luggage for me ☺️ . Among other encouragements (@rachaelherron 🙏) it was just what I needed to remind me why it’s worth getting back to the desk and the page now that the holidays are over. . If you’re hoping to write more in 2020, have a look at @writehellawords for a way to help you commit to your goal. . Speaking of which, my word for this year has to be COMMITMENT, as in, committing to the small actions that make big plans happen. . I don’t always settle on a ‘word of the year’, but sometimes it feels right. . Anyone else? . . . #amwriting @nanowrimo #nanowrimowinner #celebrating #encouraged #commitment #wordoftheyear #2020plans #writinglife #purpose @brigitadzintra

A year ago I was looking on at what was happening with @theinternationaldenmark and thinking, I want to be part of that! . So I hustled my way in at one of their first birthday events, and the rest is history! 😄 .

In the meantime, the new issue of The International is out today! 📰 . If you’ve resolved to broaden your mind and explore more of what Esbjerg has to offer in 2020, check out my favourite cultural highlights 🖼 . And learn about how I’ll be making sure to seize the moment with my time living here. 🇩🇰 . . . #theinternational #danishliving #internationalliving #esbjerg #expatindenmark #expatwriter #expatblogger #esbjergblogger #esbjergexpat #cultureinesbjerg #bucketlist @visitesbjerg @mitesbjerg @esbjergkunstmuseum @ribe_kunstmuseum @visitribeesbjerg @tirpitzmuseum #esbjergmuseum @ribe_vikingecenter @tobakkenspillested #fanøkunstmuseum @museumfrello @musikhusetesbjerg
