Besides the northern lights and fjords, Norway offers a delectable selection of mouth-watering foods - foods that you probably have not tried before. Because Norweigans love adventure, food is no exception. For example, every residential Norwegian forages, and you can do the same as well on your Norway holiday. That is why I often suggest that travelers visiting Norway go on a foraging tour in August or September. That is when the hedgerows are in full bloom and prized porcini mushrooms can be easily found.  However, never pick mushrooms without a guide to help. That is why a foraging tour is a must-do activity. You can also pick dew-sparkling amber berries, cloudberries, and lingonberries in places  such as Hardangervidda and Rondane. Also, Husmanskost is a hearty and inviting lunch you will love - open sandwiches that feature sourdough or rye bread, topped with charcuterie, veggies, or seafood. You can savor the cuisine in places, such as the Havariet Bistro in Oslofjord.  Classic dinner dishes include unique and succulent foods, such as elk meatballs and reindeer stew, also called finnbiff. Enjoy these evening staples in places, such as the Elgustua Guesthouse in East Norway. When you eat that type of delicious food, you will need to find ways to work off the calories, and Norway has plenty of activities in which you can take part. One of the popular activities of the country, naturally, is skiing.  The word, "ski," itself comes from the Old Norse language. Many Norweigans assert that they had skis on their feet when they were born. Therefore, if you want to ski, you will find Norway to be a skiers paradise. You can hit the powder in winter or ski down a glacier during the summer. An exciting adventure always waits in this cold yet warm Scandinavian country. I would like to serve as your travel agent planner for Norway, as I know you will love your trip, regardless of when you choose to travel. Give me a call so we can go over all the exciting details now!

Denmark Travel Agent Specialist

If you want to travel to a fun country - one that is both exciting to discover and historically important, you will find what you’re seeking in Denmark. As your Denmark travel agent specialist, I can open up doors for you that have never been opened before.Most people relate Denmark to author, Hans Christian Anderson, and the intrepid Vikings. Born in Denmark in 1805, Hans Christain Andersen invented the writing of eventyrs - fantastic  adventures or fairy tales. The author also wrote travelogues, novels, poems, and plays. His tales transcend age and cultural boundaries and have been translated in 125 languages. Andersen wrote Thumbelina in 1835 and The Little Mermaid in 1836. He also wrote The Princess and the Pea in 1835 and The Emperor’s New Clothes in 1837.You might enjoy one of Andersen’s tales while lounging on one of Denmark’s beaches or relive some of the sagas while exploring ancient structures and awe-inspiring landscapes. Denmark’s major city, Copenhagen, features world-class institutions and a vibrant cultural scene.The Danish countryside is also dotted with old churches, palaces, and castles. Viking ruins can be found in the country, including earlier remnants, such as Stone Age dolmens. In rural regions, you often will see local farmers selling their produce along the roadside. Denmark’s national flag, the Dannebrog, is the world’s largest banner, and flies during state ceremonies to show the country’s national pride. According to folk tales, the banner ,which features a white cross on a red backdrop, symbolizes a combat between the Danish knights and the Estonians during the early thirteenth century. The banner is so loved that the Danes fly it during all types of celebrations, even birthdays.The monarchy of Denmark is also the world’s oldest. However, the country’s constitution limits the monarchy’s ability to exert its influence in political affairs. Copenhagen’s changing of the guars rivals the changing of the guard in England and the country’s Little Mermaid Statue is a Copenhagen icon and national gem. One place I suggest you visit while in Denmark is the Kronborg Castle, given the name Elsinore in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The perfect example of a Renaissance fortress, ground was broken for the structure in 1574 where the borders of Denmark and Sweden converge. For centuries, the castle held state celebrations and protected the Danes against attack. Currently, the landmark is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Denmark. A favorite guided tour is called Hamlet’s Footsteps. Kronsberg Castle and the Little Mermaid Statue are only a sampling of what Denmark offers visitors. Whether you wish to relax at a resort, spend time in the country, or get immersed in history, you will find what you are seeking in this captivating northern country.As your travel agent specialist for Denmark, I want to make your trip memorable.
