A passionate and opinionated exploration of life in Copenhagen.
Welcome to my Copenhagen site!
This website offers passionate and opinionated insight into what makes Copenhagen so wonderful, and a truly unique spot on the map - and worthy of far more attention than it already receives, presenting the city just as it can be experienced everyday.
So what is the city all about?
From the unrelenting focus on brilliant design and calculated efficiency that is distinctly Danish, to the tasty danish food and surprisingly tasty danish beer, the beautiful Danish women, the passion the city's residents hold towards their hometown and Denmark culture, and, not least, the bicycle (in all shapes and sizes) for everyday transportation (and in all kinds of weather), just to mention a few points, life here cannot be easily parallelled with any other city on the planet.
Beyond the evident beauty of the city's historical buildings and monuments, and its contemporary constructions and creations, the delights and pleasures of life in the city can seem guarded secrets. Yet when you know where to look, they are there and waiting. This site will point you in exactly the right direction to find them - without wasting time!

Timothy Anderson has been a happy resident of Copenhagen since 2000 (with a couple of short breaks in the process). During that time, he has has been an intrepid explorer of the city and of Denmark culture. With numerous interests, occupations and identities, both past and present, including blogger, writer, journalist, editor, entrepreneur, travellor, researcher, pitchman of countless business ideas, very amateur party DJ, father, PhD student (briefly)…oh yeah, and private jet salesman (seriously!), be assured that his take on life here is uniquely his own.
