Today, my friend Nadja Pass and I are launching the first part of our project “Borgerlyst”.
The word Borgerlyst is a Danish portmanteau of Nadja’s invention. It consists of the two words Borger (meaning citizen) and Lyst (roughly meaning lust, urge, delight, inclination). In short, a sort of civic urge. It is meant as a [...]
After having worked at Socialsquare for almost two years, I’ve resigned, ending my contract at the end of March. It was not a decision that I took lightly, since it was my first full time job since graduating, and it’s a bunch of talented, inspiring colleagues who’ve taught me so much.

It is one of the oldest and most famous communes in Denmark, receiving a lot of attention back when it was founded [...]
Another year, another summer, and another Roskilde Festival. This year the sunshine returned to the festival as I opened up my summer holidays by gorging myself with beautiful and surprising music.
I didn’t get to see and hear as music as usual, as earned my ticket working in a Smoothie bar for part of the [...]
