CURRENT MISSION

Getting our feet sore and our heads dizzy from exploring colorful places and meeting great people in Eastern Europe

ABOUT ME

The two of us met at Testrup folk high school - a free academy. Amongst other creative courses Helga studied philosophy and Ida music. Ida plays the alto saxophone and Helga enjoys looking through a camera lens. At the time being we both study "Aesthetics and Culture" at Aarhus University and just finished our first year. We love experiencing urban life, the underground scene, art, concerts, poetry readings etc. as well as a home cooked meal and a bottle of wine. Throughout our lives we have been hiking a lot mostly in Scandinavia and we're not afraid of getting mud under our feet or confront mysterious insects.

We hope to meet people who would like to show us their version or view of their city (and landscape). Either by grabbing our hands and taking us places or just plot x's on our maps. We eat everything from greasy fries to raw food and we're both tiny persons who can fit in practically everywhere.
