Odense City walk
Your Guide
Get guided through Odense and learn something new.
Authentic, knowledgeable, and committed
I'm excited to give you a taste of Odense, especially the vibrant, forward-looking side of the city.
With a background in Geography, I'm captivated by how people and their surroundings interact.
I thrive on making learning engaging; in fact, teaching or lecturing would have been a natural fit for me.
And there's nothing like a good walk! Whether it's a leisurely stroll or a brisk jog, walking is my go-to for both physical and mental well-being.
Combining my love for walking with my expertise, I've been leading guided hikes for international tourists in Greenland alongside my main job.
Now, I've extended my passion to leading walking tours in Odense. The city is undergoing its most significant urban transformation in modern Danish history, and I find it utterly fascinating. That's why I'm guiding tours through the areas undergoing this transformation.
​
Odense has been my home for over 15 years, and it's where I work. Join me, and I'll show you the evolving face of Odense, sharing insights into how locals perceive these changes and more.
And on another note
I was born in Germany, have traveled quite a bit, and my wife is Canadian, all of which have contributed to my international perspective. This means that during my tours, I also highlight the differences between Denmark and other countries, providing a broader context for understanding Danish culture and society.
​
In my professional life, I'm involved with a technology startup located in the Science Park in Odense. Here, we harness the power of IoT (Internet of Things) sensors and mathematical models to preserve nature. One of our notable projects involves developing a system that assists winter services in minimizing salt usage on icy roads, ensuring safe conditions without excessive salt, a common issue today.
​
Outside of work, I find joy in traveling, a passion I can indulge in more now that my three children have grown up.
