Wandering the World

Stories and tips from around the world.

Denmark

Hygge and Running

At the start of our Super Halfs journey, we set off for Copenhagen to do the first in this six race series that spans Europe. It was a chance for us both to explore a city neither of us had been to before, and to also visit the home of LEGO. Unexpectedly between booking this one, and traveling, we'd had a short holiday to Vienna first so already had a taste of what it'd be like to go on a sightseeing holiday together.

This trip felt like it'd be a little more adventurous, and would have considerably more running and sightseeing as we'd be travelling between two cities for this trip, with the potential for a third.
