Travl Princesse - Busy Princess.
Written by Henrik Salling & Ken Richter.
Who sum up a pretty busy week for our Marie. Wednesday at SDU.
Saturday at the Wadden Sea Festitval on the island of Rømø. (Okay, that's almost around the corner from Schackenborg).
Sunday at the National Flag Day.
Monday in Botanical Garden in Copenhagen and at the French embassy.
This is what she had to say at SDU:
"I developed a lot while I studied abroad (Boston and New York) and that changed me as a person. - I've never had problems studying or setteling in another country. I think that's important for your personal developement and I hope my son too would like to go abroad for a period of his life. - My life changed in earnest when I came to Denmark. Quite unexpectedly I became a Princess in Denmark and that has been a big challenge. Of course the language is diffence but I've had to learn to adjust to the climate and to a completely new word, that is the word hygge. (*) - My best advise to the students will be: Study hard but remember also to enjoy life".
(*) Hygge is a concept. Best translated with cosyness. - A feeling of wellbeing, while spending time with people you genuinely like in (and this is important) a hospitable and warm atmosphere.
The art by Thomas Kincaid epitomize to some extent the concept of "hygge" - just seen from the outside.
