New York Gossip Girl style

Ready to take on the day. We did not plan to match!


I clearly had a thing for yellow

We went to the Empire where Chuch Bass lives. We later went back for drinks in the bar.


Outside the Palace Hotel where Serena stayed in season 1.

On steps of the Met. Of course!

Nate Archibald's home

Constance school



So a few year back I met up with my best friend in New York along with her mother and grand mother, who have become my family away from my family. My best friend lives in Alabama, so we try to meet up at least once a year, flying to each other, that time, we met up in New York. As this was my first time in New York, and I am a HUGE fan of Gossip Girl, it was obvious that we needed to take a Gossip Girl tour, and in general just dress up preppy and nice everyday (most of the times, at home, I dress VERY casually).

We went to see all the major spots from the show, not all are listed above. The first stop was infront of the Palace Hotel, where Serena stayed with her mom in season 1. Unfortunately there was a lot of construction work going on, but we did manage to get some cute shots. We also saw the school where they spend their high school years, Nate's home and OF COURSE we had to see Steps of the Met, and have a sit down. Oh truly a great trip, and it is HIGHLY recommended to take the Gossip Girl tour if you are in the City and a fan of the show.

Cruising on NCL Escape


View of Hamburg

Just one of many entertainment ideas onboard, for both kids and adults!


Margaritaville- my kind of vibe

Haven swimmingpool area 



The first night on a NCL cruise, they have a farewell party. Everyone comes together on the top deck for drinks, dancing and whatever else you could wish for. This is the best time.


So back in November 2015 Norwegian Cruise Lines launched their newest ship, NCL Escape. The Inaugural cruise was from Hamburg to Southampton. The ship is an incredible ship with everything you can imagine for everyone. If you wish to have some private space, you can book a Haven suite, where only the few who live in a Haven Suite have acces to the area, or you can book a "normal" stateroom. If you are traveling alone, there is also the opportunity to stay in one the their single rooms, where only the people staying in that area, have acces to, much like the Haven area. As mentioned, we were onboard in November in Europe, so we did not get to use the pool amenities, however,  they looked AMAZING! Book a cruise now, with your best friends and have the time of your lives! Cruising is not just for the elderly, it most definitely is for EVERYONE, and NCL can only be recommended!

Living in Miami part 2

View from the hotel we worked at to Port of Miami

Working hard, clearly

That sweet love

Our (3) apartment!

View from the high way

A visit to the Everlgades is definitely a must! Do I have to say.. I HATE aligators!



So here's my part 2 of living in Miami. Even though we were living in Miami, we were still new to that city, so a few touristy visits could not be avoided. And of course, my love for Starbucks, which we at that time, did not have in Copenhagen. That Starbucks became my go to breakfast place on days off.

I spend my December in Miami


Last year, I was called to Miami to help their cruise operation for a few weeks. It turned out to be in December, and let me tell you right now.. There is a BIG difference between Christmas in Denmark and Christmas in Miami. Eventhough it was nice to see the sun for a few weeks, I am excited to have my December in Copenhagen this year :)

Barcelona

This picture was taken at the end of La Rambla, down by the ocean. This statue was decorated nicely, and I couldn't resist a picture 


On La Rambla, they have the prettiest ice cream formed like roses

No trip to Barcelona without visiting Sagrada familia



We went to have smoothies and avocado toast EVERY morning

We couldn't come to Barcelona without going to see a game!



Last year in October, Alexander and I decided that we needed a vacation and our obvious choice was Barcelona. Both of us had been to Barcelona before, but me, only for 2 hours before a cruise and Alex on a study trip back in High School, so it was just okay to go again. We did all the touristy things you can do, went to see Sagrada Familia, took a bus ride around town, went to see a football game, did some shopping, went to the beach. All in all a great trip that I would do again in a hearbeat! Barcelona is definitely with a visit if you have never been there!

Going on a cruise in the Mediterranean



Hello!

Back in 2015 I was invited on a cruise with MSC from Barcelona to Genova. Eventhough my face looks a little unhappy above, I promise it was a good one :)

Living in Miami pt 1

So back in 2014 (I feel like everything took place in 2014) I was living in Miami, Florida for a few months while I was doing my internship. I work in the cruise industry, so Port of Miami was where I went every single morning. I lived in an area called Coconut Grove, which is a fine area with train connections to downtown, but that is about it. If you want to go any further, to South Beach or Nikki Beach, or to any of the malls, it just takes a bit more to get around. Definitely get a car if you are going to Miami and not staying in South Beach area. This is my first part, second part to come.



Coco walk in Coconut Grove, the area we lived in

Always by the sea

We made it to South Beach once or twice

..And REALLY enjoyed it

Berlin Baby


Back in 2015 I decided to take my boyfriend for a trip to Berlin for his birthday. This was his first time in Berlin and my 3rd time. He has always been a much bigger lover of the beach, a pool and definitely some sunshine. Whereas, I, am a big lover of big citys and SHOPPING!

We did not have a lot of things planned out, we simply just went with the flow. The only thing I REALLY wanted, was to find Brandi Melville.. and of course, show him the major sights in Berlin, such as Alexander Plats, the TV tower, the wall etc. The trip was a great trip, and we will definitely be back some day. For now, let's continue exploring the world :)

New York, New York


















As mentioned before, back in 2014 I interned for a company in America. I left my home town and security blanket and left for 4 months. It was already a plan from the start, that my family and Alexander would come visit me in Miami. But as it turns out, Miami does not have a lot to offer for a family like ours, that love the BIG city feeling, and to see new things every day. Therefore, we decided to all meet up in New York, of course!
It was my second time in New York and Alexander's first. We stayed at a hotel in Hoboken, a part of New Jersey that I would never choose again, but it worked out for us.
Every day we would take the bus into the city and spend the entire day there. Something that is typical for our family and that we did do a lot of, was to get some bread, some drinks etc. and bring it to Central Park and enjoy Nature, each other ad just chill.

I also got the chance to meet up with a woman I met back in Copenhagen, when I checked her and her family in for their cruise on the Norwegian Star. We went out for lunch, went shopping and went to the top of Rockefeller to have the best view of the city. This is simply a MUST if you are in New York, even if it seems a little touristy.

All in all, a PERFECT New York trip with the people I love the most!
