We go "sight jogging" in Aarhus and do it before the crowds arrive! We run at a casual, non-competitive pace along winding foot paths past the most iconic and historical sights in Aarhus!

This is a perfect experience for the traveler who wants to stick to a fitness routine but doesn't want to waste their limited time in Aarhus working out in a gym! Other things to note This run is scalable to any fitness level, and we will run at whatever pace you need! And we keep a safe distance!

If you want a local tour of an area of Copenhagen with a photographer, need pictures for a wedding or want a lesson from a professional photographer you're looking at the right experience. My typical tour route is in the royal district from Nyhavn, but I've shot many weddings too. Are you a couple, a family or otherwise want a private photo tour? That's totally doable. I keep the max at 12 people for a private group (if you are under 18, you need to have a parent with you). I'm born and raised in the greater CPH area, so you'll get a local photographer. I'm a working professional freelance photographer, so the photos we shoot I'll edit and send to you so you have the memories. You'll get a minimum of 25 edited photos as well as all the rest of the photos we take. Contact me and we can discuss when to do the shoot.
