What time do you get up to start your day? I have to be at work at 9.00 am, so I wake up at 7.00 am. What do you see when you look out your window? From my bedroom I see the backyard, which has a nice landscape garden, recently renovated.That is where the children from the block play in the summer time. From my living room is the street, it is an old part of the city, so my street is a cobblestone street. People have their bikes parked at the street, just outside my door. What are the first things that you do as you get out of bed and prepare for the day? When my alarm clock has woken me up after ringing 2 times, I take a shower, wash my hair and get dressed.Then I eat my breakfast. What do you eat? Do you prepare it yourself? Where do you normally purchase your food? What do you have to drink? Usually Old fashioned Oatmeal with milk, banana and raisins, and I drink a glass of orange juice. When I was in school I would prepare a sandwich for lunch to bring, but at my job, they serve food, so we all eat the same thing together for a 30 minutes lunch break. How do you get to work? When I am ready to go, I take my bike and ride to work. I live a 20 minute bike ride from the office.The biking trails in Copenhagen in the morning are like highways for bicyclists, so I have to pay attention to the other 1000’s of bicyclists. It can be quite stressful, if you come from a smaller city as I do. But the drivers in the cars, are used to all the bikes, so they are used to look out for the bikes. What do you do for a living? I am a landscape architect, and work for a Danish landscape architecture firm called Kragh & Berglund Landscape architects. What are your favorite clothes to put on for a day at work? My favorite clothes to wear for work, are the same I wear when I am not working. People at the office are quite informal, so I am well dressed, but never overdressed, and not business-like at all. Sometimes I wear flip-flops in the summer, sometimes boots with a little heel.
