– FOR THE CULTURAL EXPLORER
I travel for art, culture and history! Get tips on the lesser known places, the history behind, museum musts, travel literature, UNESCO World Heritage sites and nature experiences.
I hope you find some useful information and inspiration! Otherwise just ask…
My name is Sara –born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark (and yes, it’s “hyggeligt”). I get nervous, if there isn’t a ticket in my inbox.

I’m a major in philosophy and arts, and I am curious of different cultures. I also work at UNESCO site, and have worked in several Danish museums. So the cultural sights and the historical background are of course what I will point you to.
I’ve been travelling, since I was 0 years old, but my wanderlust began in 1999, when I went with a friend 3 months around China – only 19 years old. My first trip was to Greece, and I think my love from Greece originated here.
So far: 42 countries covering 4 continents. And the Arctic!
I’m counting the 195 states acknowledged by UN so far. Maybe when I get to 100, I will start using a more precise system.
My favourite travel experience in recent years was finally getting close to the pharaohs in their tombs and temples in ancient Thebes in Egypt. As I child, I even tried to learn hieroglyphs…
I’m not really a good traveller: I get carsick, airsick, trainsick and especially seasick. Occasionally, I also get landsickness. I really should do more biking and walking trips…
1 My mom and sister (mostly). Mostly European citybreaks focusing on museums and food. But we are trying to be more adventurous.
2 My husband and son (less often now). The long backpack trips outside Europe are with my husband and son. But my son is now diagnosed with autism & anxiety, so he doesn’t really want to travel, and this might change.
3 Friends (not as often as I like). Small European weekend trips.
4 Work (on the rise). Once a year, I go on 3-day museum group tour and a UNESCO seminar in a Nordic World Heritage site.
