My mom lived in the Congo for five years, my eldest brother was born there, my other big brother has travelled the world, and my two younger half-siblings have an international mom – so, I guess the international was a natural part of my life from the get-go.
 
Personally, I have always had a tingling feeling that my future somehow lay outside Danish borders, and after a childhood and youth visiting most of Europe with my family, I went to Africa in 1999 to travel southern Africa for three months with my older brother, who was studying in South Africa at the time. 
 
Not long after my return, I went back to Africa to stay with an old Zambian friend, where I remained for 1.5 months accompanying him to Zambian weddings, dinners with princesses, and exposure to a wild world of traditional Zambian cuisine.
 
At this point, I was hooked on the international, and I have since lived and worked in other countries from England, South Africa, Nigeria, Ethiopia, to Iraq, and more.
 
It is this passion for what the international setting can bring us, for better or worse, that I strive to infuse into my students, so they can better relate to and act in the world that surrounds us - inside and outside the very same Danish borders I once sought to transcend.”
