After her first month in Denmark, Käri has determined that the Danes have just two main weather rules.

Rule 1: Never pause for adverse weather.

Rule 2: Always pivot for sunshine.

Apparently, ‘hygge’ isn’t confined to the winter season. Käri reflects on summer hygge in Denmark so far. :)

Käri shares 3 Danish discoveries this week that made her stop and ask, “Wait, what?” They involve numbers, names, and pastries. She explains how the number system seems to require arithmetic, Curious George isn’t Curious George, and “danishes” are called something else in Denmark.

Käri explores the contrasting worldviews of two iconic figures tied to Odense, Denmark: the Norse god Odin and the storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.

Käri talks about what life on an eco farm has been like so far, along with some of the fun German phrases and traditions she’s been learning from new friends.

Newly arrived in Denmark, Käri shares some stories and first impressions from her first week.

Days before leaving for Denmark—with no job yet lined up, and SO much still TBD—Käri talks about resisting the urge to package life into neat conclusions before sharing about it.

Käri shares some observations from a trip to the Galápagos, where lava moves where it’s easiest, while marine iguanas push into harsh, difficult conditions. A simple invitation to consider which type of path we’re choosing.

Building on her recent reflections about “designing a life,” Käri explores how intentionality and adventure are not mutually exclusive.

About to graduate next week with a master’s in instructional design, Käri shares how she’s applying the design process not only in the classroom, but in the broader context of her life.
