Keflavik Airport Icicles

Back in my post about Icelandic design, I wrote a bit about the “icicle” decoration in Keflavik Airport. At the time, I didn’t have a photo, and I forgot and/or misplaced the photo I took of them on the way back. Well I found it:

2014: A Summary

I’ve had an incomplete post sitting in my drafts for a couple months now, one that I just ctrl+A and deleted. It’s not that I couldn’t be bothered to finish it, it’s that life got so busy and I forgot about it until now, when I was thinking about writing my summary of 2014 post.

To Denmark, With Love: A Reflection

Dear Denmark, I say this time and time again, if six months ago you had asked me if I thought I would be here, if I could do this, I would have instantly told you no. But now it feels like just yesterday I stepped off that plane, shaking and sick to my stomach. My

Denmark Diaries: The Last Week

Hello all, Thus begins one of the last entries from this trip, much to my sadness. I’ll begin with Monday, where the moment I walked into the office Lars said, “It’s your last week!” I laughed and told him to not remind me, but it ate away at me all week. I’ll get back to

Marsvine, LEGO, and HC Andersen…Oh my!

Denmark Diaries: A Busy Week, Indeed!

My week has been busy to say the least, and perhaps a little chaotic. Last Wednesday (the 3rd of September) , after sitting in a meeting that had me staying later at the office than intended, I returned to my desk to gather my things and a rather excited Lars approached me. Carsten S. (Rotary Club

Denmark Diaries: Long Overdue

Hello everyone, This is a post long overdue. My weeks have been busy. I’ve been working mostly, but also some exploring and traveling tossed into the mix. So let’s start with the former: Work has been really great. I’ve been designing a 80-something page employee handbook. Well, it was 80-something pages when I started, but

Denmark Diaries: Copenhagen

Hej! So this entry will be about my experience in Copenhagen, which was a great one. I was up bright and early at 4:30 for a 6:15am train.  It was my first time in a [large] northern European city, and a city with street names I simply can’t pronounce (no I’m not forgetting about Reykjavik,

Denmark Diaries: A Week of Danish Culture

Hi! As always, apologize for the poor layout… Well, I’ve been in Denmark a week. I spent my last couple days trying to catch up on sleep, not freak out, and figure out my life here. So far it’s been pretty nice, and pretty different. But I’ll start with my departure from Iceland. I had

Reykjavik Diary Day 2: Ow, I’ve got volcano in my eye!
