Happiest people in the world!
Join me to explore why Danes are among the top three happiest people in the world. One explanation is that we just have to have good laughs to cope with our high level of taxes!

Testimonials
We had an amazing afternoon with Gitte in her neighbourhood Nørrebro. We were entertained and informed and had a lot of laughs. We learned so much new about modern life in Denmark.
Brenda Whisker, Walking Women, UK.
Gitte guided us through the Christiansborg Castle and unfolded the 1000 year history of the Royals. And then put it all into a modern day context. We had a wonderful afternoon and got tips for what else to see in Copenhagen.
