I have lived all of my adulthood in Odense, and I am deeply interested in its history and development. I have been a certified guide since 2012, and my great passion is to convey my knowledge about the city to you, telling facts and the good story, mixed with humor and enthusiasm.
I live close to the inner city and therefore, I know streets and hideaways. My broad knowledge makes me able to arrange a guided tour to your enquiries, whether you want the general guided tour of Odense, or a tour with focus on Hans Christian Andersen, the monasteries of Odense, the cathedral or The Funen Village.
