Politiken har offentliggjort en demografisk fremskrivning, og det har fået Dansk Folkeparti til tasterne. Partiet mener, at undersøgelsen bekræfter, at “befolkningsudskiftningen er en realitet” og kræver “remigration nu”. Men kan man konkludere det ud fra tallene? Og hvilke konkrete tiltag ser DF for sig? Gæst: Mikkel Bjørn, udlændingeordfører i Dansk Folkeparti Vært: Anne Sofie AllarpSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

found it difficult to be in the midst of the noisy preparation.Da: Alligevel ville hun gerne hjælpe sine søskende, så da Mikkel bad om hjælp, lagde hun bogen til side.En: Nevertheless, she wanted to help her siblings, so when Mikkel asked for help, she put the book aside.Da: "Mikkel," sagde Freja, da hun kom indenfor med et glimt i øjet, "skal vi ikke bare nyde dagen og lave lidt om på planen?En:

5 pct. Så meget er NATO-landene enige (eller de fleste af dem) om at skulle bruge af deres BNP på oprustning. Og med den baggrund gør landene klar til at skulle mødes til NATO-topmødet i Haag om et par uger. Spørgsmålet er bare: Er 5 pct. nok til Trump – og vil det holde sammen på alliancen? I denne uges Geopol taler Lars og Mikkel om et potentielt skæbnesvangert topmøde, der venter 24.-26. juni. I RÆSONs podcastserie Geopol stiller professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen og ph.d. Lars Bangert Struwe skarpt på tidens største geopolitiske udfordringer.

Hør professor Ned Blackhawk og historiker og forsker Mikkel Berg-Nordlie snakke om den amerikanske historien fra et urfolkperspektiv.Denne samtalen er et opptak av et arrangement som fant sted på Nasjonalbiblioteket den 10.mai 2025.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Unlocking Tivoli's Secret: A Mystical Spring Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-06-10-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Tivoli Gardens var fuld af liv.En: Tivoli Gardens was buzzing with life.Da: Det var forår, og blomsterne dansede i vinden.En: It was spring, and the flowers danced in the wind.Da: Overalt hang farverige lanterner, og lyden af latter og fornøjede stemmer fyldte luften.En: Everywhere, colorful lanterns hung, and the sound of laughter and cheerful voices filled the air.Da: Mikkel gik langs de små brostensstier med sin veninde Sofie.En: Mikkel walked along the small cobblestone paths with his friend Sofie.Da: Hun sukkede let ved siden af ham.En: She sighed softly beside him.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, Mikkel," sagde Sofie.En: "I don't know, Mikkel," said Sofie.Da: "Vi har været her før, og intet mystisk skete."En: "We've been here before, and nothing mysterious happened."Da: Men Mikkel kunne mærke noget i luften.En: But Mikkel could feel something in the air.Da: En melodi, der næsten var uhørlig, fangede hans opmærksomhed.En: A melody, almost inaudible, caught his attention.Da: Det var som om den hviskede til ham fra et hemmeligt sted i haven.En: It was as if it whispered to him from a secret place in the garden.Da: "Lad os følge den," foreslog Mikkel, hans øjne skinnede af nysgerrighed.En: "Let's follow it," Mikkel suggested, his eyes shining with curiosity.Da: Sofie rystede på hovedet, men fulgte modvilligt efter.En: Sofie shook her head but reluctantly followed.Da: De gik gennem den levende folkemængde, drejede om hjørner, der virkede mere bekendte end de burde, som om havens stier førte dem i cirkler.En: They walked through the lively crowd, turning corners that seemed more familiar than they should, as if the garden's paths led them in circles.Da: Pludselig standsede Mikkel.En: Suddenly, Mikkel stopped.Da: Foran dem stod en kvinde med en klar stemme og et venligt smil.En: In front of them stood a woman with a clear voice and a friendly smile.Da: Hendes navn var Luna, og hun virkede på forunderlig vis bekendt.En: Her name was Luna, and she looked mysteriously familiar.Da: "Jeres søgen er ikke forgæves," sagde Luna med et glimt i øjet.En: "Your search is not in vain," said Luna with a twinkle in her eye.Da: "Melodien fører til en særlig Sankt Hans Aften fest."En: "The melody leads to a special Sankt Hans Aften celebration."Da: Sofie så skeptisk ud.En: Sofie looked skeptical.Da: "Er det ikke lidt tidligt?"En: "Isn't it a bit early?"Da: Luna smilede.En: Luna smiled.Da: "Måske tager tiden selv fejl."En: "Perhaps time itself is mistaken."Da: Mikkel kiggede opmærksomt på Luna.En: Mikkel looked attentively at Luna.Da: "Hvordan kommer vi dertil?"En: "How do we get there?"Da: spurgte han.En: he asked.Da: "Følg musikken, men lad hjertet være jeres kompas," svarede Luna gådefuldt, før hun forsvandt i menneskemængden.En: "Follow the music, but let your heart be your compass," replied Luna enigmatically, before disappearing into the crowd.Da: De fortsatte gennem haven, lyttende til den svage melodi, der nu syntes stærkere.En: They continued through the garden, listening to the faint melody, which now seemed stronger.Da: Indtil de nåede til en skjult alkove, en lille hemmelig krog af Tivoli, hvor stemningen var magisk.En: Until they arrived at a hidden alcove, a small secret nook of Tivoli, where the atmosphere was magical.Da: Her var folk samlet omkring et bål, og de dansede og sang.En: Here people gathered around a bonfire, dancing and singing.Da: Det var en intim Sankt Hans Aften fejring, selvom datoen ikke passede.En: It was an intimate Sankt Hans Aften celebration, even though the date didn't match.Da: Mikkel følte en bølge af ro og glæde.En: Mikkel felt a wave of peace and joy.Da: Mystikken omkring melodien var ikke en gåde, men en invitation.En: The mystery around the melody was not a puzzle, but an invitation.Da: Sofie så sig omkring, overrasket og lidt ærbødig.En: Sofie looked around, surprised and a little reverent.Da: "Jeg tog fejl," indrømmede hun.En: "I was wrong," she admitted.Da: Mikkel nikkede og smilede, hans hjerte let.En: Mikkel nodded and smiled, his heart light.Da: Han lærte at stole på sine instinkter og åbnede sit sind for livets mystik.En: He learned to trust his instincts and opened his mind to life's mysteries.Da: Sofie så på det skjulte eventyr med nye øjne.En: Sofie looked at the hidden adventure with new eyes.Da: Med mens musikken svandt ud, indvarslede Mikkel en ny forståelse for folklore, og Tivolis hemmeligheder blev et værdifuldt minde, der for evigt ville danse til melodien af forår.En: As the music faded out, Mikkel ushered in a new understanding of folklore, and Tivoli's secrets became a cherished memory that would forever dance to the melody of spring.

A Sauna Talk from the British Sauna Summit, Tuesday, 20 May 2025 Hilton London Canary Wharf. Last year, Sauna Summit 2024 and 1.0, about 120 of us gathered rooftop at in Hackney. The spirit was both well organized like a conference, and yet intimate like a family gathering. This year, as attendance swelled to well north of 300, the Hilton Hotel ballroom provided a backdrop and familiarity of a “proper” (to use the British word) organized meeting. This is the evolution of sauna. What started as a somewhat jest and jovial organisation, like the growth of many things sauna, the British Sauna Society has ballooned into a structured membership of several hundred, representing the “saunapreneurs” of public saunas that dot the map of the UK's shoreline, streams, and urban communities. Yours truly was given the honour of announcing the winners of the second annual Sauna Summit Awards, which showcases outstanding saunas (Best Urban, Best Community, Best New, etc.). All of the contest participants are winners. And though there's surely pride and competition behind the curtain, yet what is displayed in the UK sauna scene is more collaboration and support. The Brits seem to recognize that the rising sauna tide lifts all public sauna boats. London Calling I am reminded of my time living in London. It was decades ago, and I had the dream job of music listings editor at Time Out magazine, where i'd have one on one relationship with the music venues (Dingwalls, Brixton Academy, etc.) and what stood out was the pricing structure of concert tickets. General admission at the top, then the list of discounted tickets (senior, student, unemployed, single parent, counsel estate resident, library card holder, etc.). It's ingrained in British culture to proudly support those underserved. And sauna culture today shares that “community support” ethos. America may face headwinds in this regard, being more capitalistic centric, yet Britain waves the flag of “serving their community” as evidence by the hundreds of saunas dotting their shoreline and beyond. Anyhow, in this episode we get to hear one on one conversations with folks from Harvia, Jake Newport from Finnmark, kindred spirit author Lassi Liikkanen, key Summit organizer Mark Lamb, his wife and author Emma O'kelly, Sauna from Finland Carita, Rob De Bank, and other folks “behind the scenes” and “between the action.” Notes from presentations at the British Sauna Summit: Carita 1. Take as long as you like in sauna. Listen to your body. 2. Nudity is common in private saunas. Often ladies and men's sides. 3. Most Finn's prefer 70-80c and we make löyly. 4. Sauna is a safe and relaxing activity for all ages. Sauna at the lake helps make family memories. 5. Everyone sweats differently. More sweat doesn't mean better 6. Sauna stones wear out. Replace them regularly. She changes stones twice a year. 6. Clean the sauna – deep clean under the benches. Dry the sauna after every use. 8. Whisking is gentle and relaxing. Good for your skin and circulation. Every sauna has its own soul. Löyly is the main thing. Dr emelia Vuitisalmi “Sauna is the one single place where we truly feel safe and we can relax.” Finns don't count minutes or measure temperature. Sauna stimulates three hormones 1. Dopamine. Direction Motivation and reward.  Walk your true path. Sauna is the place to answer these questions 2. Serotonin. Safety Sauna is the place where we feel safe. 3. Oxytocin. Connection. Sauna is an amazing place to connect with ourself. What is behind our own thoughts. Deep healing power of sauna takes us to a state of love. Sweat. Let go. Belong. The deep power of sauna. — Rob Da Bank Slo Mo Drew parallels of organizing festivals to the sauna space in UK. Dom Bridges Running his sauna for 12 years on the beach in Margate. Free. Significant part of the town. More like a skatepark, its own ecosystem. No one owns it, a spirit of togetherness.

Story Transcript:Da: I sneen, der dækkede København som et tykt tæppe, gik Mikkel ensomt gennem de øde gader.En: In the snow that covered København like a thick blanket, Mikkel walked alone through the deserted streets.Da: Byen lignede mest af alt en frossen ruin fra en forsvunden verden.En: The city resembled, more than anything, a frozen ruin from a lost world.Da: Biler var efterladt halvt dækket af sne, og de høje bygninger kastede lange, skyggefulde spejlbilleder på den hvide overflade.En: Cars were left half-covered by snow, and the tall buildings cast long, shadowy reflections on the white surface.Da: Mikkel bandt sin tykke jakke tættere om sig i kamp mod den bidende kulde.En: Mikkel tightened his thick jacket around himself in a battle against the biting cold.Da: Han havde kun et mål: at finde Sofie.En: He had only one goal: to find Sofie.Da: De blev skilt under evakueringen, da kaos brød løs.En: They were separated during the evacuation when chaos broke out.Da: Med

kunne være.En: Since then, Mikkel had wondered where she might be.Da: Hans eneste selskab på rejsen var Lars.En: His only company on the journey was Lars.Da: Lars, som engang var en nær ven af familien, virkede nu usikker og tvivlfuld.En: Lars, who was once a close family friend, now seemed uncertain and doubtful.Da: "Vi burde holde os indenby," sagde Lars med en nervøs stemme, mens han så sig omkring.En: "We should stay inside," Lars said with a nervous voice, as he looked around.Da: "Det her er ikke sikkert, Mikkel."En: "This isn't safe, Mikkel."Da: Men Mikkel kunne ikke give op.En:

Mikkel.En: Lars sighed and looked at Mikkel.Da: Hans indre konflikt stod malet i ansigtet.En: His inner conflict was written all over his face.Da: "Okay," sagde han til sidst.En: "Okay," he said finally.Da: "Jeg hjælper dig.En: "I'll help you.Da: Men det bliver farligt."En: But it will be dangerous."Da: Som de nærmede sig udkanten af byen, blev situationen farligere.En: As they approached the edge of the city, the situation became more dangerous.Da: Her herskede lovløse bander og scavengers, klar til at angribe enhver fremmed.En: Here, lawless gangs and scavengers reigned, ready to attack any stranger.Da: Mikkel stod over for en gruppe netop af den slags, der pludselig omringede ham.En: Mikkel faced a group just of that kind that suddenly surrounded him.Da: Mikkel mærkede panikken stige, men i samme øjeblik trådte Lars frem ved hans side.En: Mikkel felt panic rising, but at the same moment, Lars stepped forward by his side.Da: Med mod, han syntes at have glemt, kastede Lars sig ind i kampen.En: With courage he seemed to have forgotten, Lars threw himself into the fight.Da: Tilsammen lykkedes det dem at skræmme angriberne væk.En: Together, they managed to scare the attackers away.Da: Rystende men lettet, faldt Mikkel tilbage.En: Shaking but relieved, Mikkel fell back.Da: "Tak, Lars.En: "Thank you, Lars.Da: Jeg ved ikke, hvad jeg skulle have gjort uden dig."En: I don't know what I would have done without you."Da: Mens de trak vejret, og nervesystemet faldt til ro, bemærkede Mikkel et stykke papir flagre i sneen.En: As they caught their breath and their nervous systems calmed, Mikkel noticed a piece of paper fluttering in the snow.Da: Et enkelt blik, og hans hjerte sprang et slag over.En: A single look, and his heart skipped a beat.Da: Det var en besked – en besked fra Sofie.En: It was a message—a message from Sofie.Da: Hun havde været her og efterladt en ledetråd.En: She had been here and left a clue.Da: Lars så over Mikkels skulder og nikkede langsomt.En: Lars looked over Mikkel's shoulder and nodded slowly.Da: Beslutningen var truffet.En: The decision was made.Da: "Så er det nu," sagde han.En: "Now's the time," he said.Da: "Lad os finde hende."En: "Let's find her."Da: Sammen fortsatte de deres rejse, med nyt håb og forbundet af en fornyet forståelse.En: Together, they continued their journey, with new hope and bound by a renewed understanding.Da: Mikkel vidste nu, at Lars' tøven kom af frygt og hans egen pligt.En: Mikkel now knew that Lars's hesitation came from fear and his own duty.Da: Lars havde genfundet værdien af loyalitet.En: Lars had rediscovered the value of loyalty.Da: Den sneklædte by lå stadig tavs og tung omkring dem, men Mikkel og Lars trådte fremad – i søgen efter Sofie, og måske, en ny begyndelse.En:

floated in the air as lanterns cast a warm glow over the colorful flower beds.Da: Kasper gik ind gennem havens smukke indgang.En: Kasper entered through the garden's beautiful entrance.Da: Han var 32 år gammel og havde en passion for historie.En: He was 32 years old and had a passion for history.Da: I aften håbede han at genoplive minderne fra fortiden, især de tidspunkter, han havde delt med en særlig person: Lise.En: Tonight, he hoped to relive memories from the past, especially the times he had shared with a special person: Lise.Da: For mange år siden var deres forhold endt uden klare svar, og denne midtsommeraften ønskede han både at genfinde venskabet eller finde afslutningen, der havde manglet.En: Many years ago, their relationship had ended without clear answers, and this midsummer night he wished both to rekindle the friendship or find the closure that was missing.Da: Men mængden var stor, og Kasper så hurtigt, at Lise allerede var i selskab med en mand ved navn Mikkel.En: But the crowd was large, and Kasper quickly saw that Lise was already in the company of a man named Mikkel.Da: De lo og delte minder fra deres egne oplevelser.En: They laughed and shared memories from their own experiences.Da: Kasper følte en knude inde i sig.En: Kasper felt a knot inside him.Da: Han ville så gerne nærme sig Lise, men usikkerheden nagede.En: He wanted so much to approach Lise, but uncertainty gnawed at him.Da: Problemet var ikke blot folkemængden, men også Kaspers tvivl i sit hjerte.En: The problem was not just the crowd but also Kasper's doubts in his heart.Da: Mens skoven omkring dunkelhede mere, lød lyden af musik og latter gennem haven.En: As the forest around grew darker, the sound of music and laughter echoed through the garden.Da: Kasper sad alene på en bænk et stykke fra festen, så på Lise i afstand og tænkte tilbage på alle de øjeblikke, de havde haft.En: Kasper sat alone on a bench a short distance from the party, watching Lise from afar and thinking back on all the moments they had shared.Da: Tiden gik langsomt, men Kasper vidste, at han måtte gøre noget.En: Time passed slowly, but Kasper knew he had to do something.Da: Han ønskede ikke at forlade haven uden et forsøg på at genoprette forbindelsen.En: He didn't want to leave the garden without an attempt to restore the connection.Da: Da bålet endelig blev tændt, dansede flammerne mod nattehimlen, og det virkede som om det var hans tegn.En: When the bonfire was finally lit, the flames danced against the night sky, and it seemed like his sign.Da: Modet voksede i ham, og han besluttede, at det var nu eller aldrig.En: Courage grew within him, and he decided it was now or never.Da: Kasper gik hen mod Lise, hver et skridt en sejr over hans tøven.En: Kasper walked toward Lise, every step a victory over his hesitation.Da: "Lise," kaldte han med en let rysten i stemmen.En: "Lise," he called with a slight tremble in his voice.Da: Hun vendte sig om, overrasket, men smilede varmt da hun genkendte ham.En: She turned around, surprised, but smiled warmly when she recognized him.Da: De talte lidt om gamle dage, forlegenheden mærkbar men ikke uovervindelig.En: They talked a bit about the old days, the awkwardness palpable but not insurmountable.Da: Kasper nævnte deres ubesvarede slutning, og i det øjeblik kom Mikkel hoppende glad til dem.En: Kasper mentioned their unanswered ending, and at that moment Mikkel cheerfully hopped over to them.Da: Han anede intet om den underliggende spænding og udstrålede kun glæde over bål og fest.En: He was unaware of the underlying tension and radiated only joy over the bonfire and festivity.Da: Trods afbrydelsen formåede Kasper og Lise at dele deres følelser om fortiden.En: Despite the interruption, Kasper and Lise managed to share their feelings about the past.Da: Samtalen var ærlig og let tilspidset, men bragte den klarhed, Kasper havde søgt.En: The conversation was honest and somewhat pointed, but it brought the clarity Kasper had been seeking.Da: De enedes om at holde kontakten, men begge vidste også, at tiden havde ændret dem.En: They agreed to keep in touch, but both also knew that time had changed them.Da: Haven, nu badet i bålens glød, repræsenterede på sin vis den afslutning, Kasper havde brug for.En: The garden, now bathed in the glow of the bonfire, symbolized in a way the closure Kasper needed.Da: Han følte sig lettere, i fred med fortidens flygtighed, og klar til at omfavne de nye oplevelser, som livet måtte bringe.En: He felt lighter, at peace with the fleeting nature of the past, and ready to embrace the new experiences that life might bring.Da: Sankt Hans Aften var både en slutning og en ny begyndelse for ham i Rosenborg Slotshaves skønhed.En: Sankt Hans Aften was both an ending and a new beginning for him in the beauty of Rosenborg Slotshave.

It looks like a map!" he said with sparkling eyes.No: Astrid nærmet seg skeptisk, men likevel nysgjerrig.En: Astrid approached skeptically, yet curiously.No: "Det kan jo være hva som helst," svarte hun forsiktig.En: "It could be anything," she replied cautiously.No: Men tegningene på steinen lokket henne også.En: But the drawings on the stone also tempted her.No: En indre gnist av ønsket om eventyr blusset opp.En: An inner spark of the desire for adventure flared up.No: "Vi må finne ut hvor det fører hen," sa Mikkel, bestemt.En: "We have to find out where it leads," said Mikkel decisively.No: Astrid, mer opptatt av sikkerheten, grunnet over det.En: Astrid, more concerned about safety, pondered over it.No: "Det er farlig terreng. Været kan slå om raskt her."En: "It's dangerous terrain. The weather can change quickly here."No: "Vi kommer til å klare det sammen," svarte Mikkel.En: "We'll manage it together," Mikkel replied.No: Han smilte oppmuntrende.En: He smiled encouragingly.No: De bestemte seg for å følge kartet.En: They decided to follow the map.No: Solen var på deres side, og de lange vårdagene ga dem mer tid til utforskningen.En: The sun was on their side, and the long spring days gave them more time for exploration.No: Terrainet under føttene deres var ujevnt, og fjellet fortsatte å utfordre dem med sin steinete sti.En: The terrain beneath their feet was uneven, and the mountain continued to challenge them with its rocky path.No: Aldri hadde Astrid følt seg så levende, hjertet pumpet, ikke bare av anstrengelsen, men av den nye spenningen.En: Never had Astrid felt so alive, her heart pumping not just from exertion, but from the new thrill.No: De kom til en bratt klippe hvor kartet tydelig viste at skatten skulle ligge.En: They came to a steep cliff where the map clearly indicated the treasure should be.No: Skyer begynte å trekke sammen på himmelen, varslet om en kommende storm.En: Clouds began to gather in the sky, warning of an approaching storm.No: Mikkel tok et skritt nærmere kanten, undersøkte omgivelsene.En: Mikkel took a step closer to the edge, examining the surroundings.No: "Der!" utbrøt han.En: "There!" he exclaimed.No: Han pekte mot en liten alkove gjemt blant steinene.En: He pointed towards a small alcove hidden among the rocks.No: De beveget seg forsiktig framover, klamret seg inntil klippen.En: They moved forward carefully, clinging to the cliff.No: Inne i alkoven fant de gamle gjenstander. Små skatter fra en glemt tid, men ikke noe av monn.En: Inside the alcove, they found old artifacts—small treasures from a forgotten time, but nothing of great value.No: En kompass, noen eldgamle mynter, en dagbok fylt med bortblekede sider fra en ukjent oppdagelsesreisende.En: A compass, some ancient coins, a diary filled with faded pages from an unknown explorer.No: Mikkel smilte bredt.En: Mikkel smiled broadly.No: "Det handler om reisen, ikke sant?" sa han ettertenksomt.En: "It's about the journey, right?" he said thoughtfully.No: Astrid nikket, lettet over at de hadde landet trygt gjennom eventyret, rikere på erfaring og vennskap.En: Astrid nodded, relieved that they had landed safely through the adventure, richer in experience and friendship.No: "Ja, og hvem vi deler den med."En: "Yes, and who we share it with."No: De begynte nedstigningen, stormen truet dem ovenfra.En: They began their descent, the storm threatening them from above.No: Våren i Norge kunne være lunefull, men en ting var sikker: De var kanskje ikke rikere i gull, men rikere i sjel.En: Spring in Norway could be unpredictable, but one thing was certain: they might not be richer in gold, but richer in spirit.No: De vendte tilbake til livet med nye perspektiver.En: They returned to life with new perspectives.No: Mikkel lærte balansen mellom spenning og forsiktighet, mens Astrid åpnet seg mer for livets ubeskyttede øyeblikk.En: Mikkel learned the balance between excitement and caution, while Astrid opened herself more to life's unguarded moments.No: De visste at de alltid ville huske denne dagen, ikke for skatten de fant, men for reisen som brakte dem dit sammen.En: They knew they would always remember this day, not for the treasure they found, but for the journey that brought them there together.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Rediscovering Creativity: A Serendipitous Garden Encounter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-05-23-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede klart i Tivoli, og luften var fyldt med den søde duft af forår.En: The sun shone brightly in Tivoli, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of spring.Da: Blomsterne blomstrede i alle regnbuens farver, og fuglene sang glædeligt.En: The flowers bloomed in all the colors of the rainbow, and the birds sang joyfully.Da: Mikkel gik stille langs stierne med sit kamera, på jagt efter det perfekte motiv.En: Mikkel walked quietly along the paths with his camera, in search of the perfect subject.Da: Han var en fotograf, der søgte skønhed i hverdagens små øjeblikke.En: He was a photographer seeking beauty in the small moments of everyday life.Da: Sofie gik med hurtige trin blandt blomsterne, hendes skitsebog i hånden.En: Sofie walked quickly among the flowers, her sketchbook in hand.Da: Hendes sind var fyldt med tanker, men ingen blev til kunst.En: Her mind was full of thoughts, but none turned into art.Da: Hun følte sig fastlåst og længtes efter en gnist, der kunne tænde hendes kreativitet igen.En: She felt stuck and longed for a spark that could ignite her creativity again.Da: Da de begge rundede et hjørne, stødte de næsten sammen.En: As they both rounded a corner, they almost bumped into each other.Da: "Undskyld," sagde Mikkel, lidt genert.En: "Sorry," said Mikkel, a bit shy.Da: "Jeg ledte bare efter noget inspiration."En: "I was just looking for some inspiration."Da: Sofie lo.En: Sofie laughed.Da: "Det gør jeg også.En: "I am too.Da: Jeg er kunstner, men i dag synes intet at inspirere mig."En: I'm an artist, but today nothing seems to inspire me."Da: De begyndte at snakke og fandt hurtigt ud af, at de begge ønskede at tilbringe dagen alene, men måske, tænkte Mikkel, kunne to kreative sind finde noget nyt sammen.En: They began to talk and quickly discovered that they both wanted to spend the day alone, but perhaps, Mikkel thought, two creative minds could find something new together.Da: "Vil du gå en tur med mig?En: "Would you like to take a walk with me?Da: Måske kan vi opdage noget sammen," foreslog han.En: Maybe we can discover something together," he suggested.Da: De gik langs de mindre befærdede stier, hvor færre mennesker normalt vandrede.En: They walked along the less traveled paths, where fewer people usually wandered.Da: Her var der ro, og Sofie kunne mærke en ny ro i sine tanker.En: Here there was calm, and Sofie could feel a new peace in her thoughts.Da: Mikkels kamera fangede de små ting, hun normalt ikke lagde mærke til – en enkelt regndråbe på en rose, sollyset, der legede gennem trækronerne.En: Mikkel's camera captured the small things she didn't normally notice — a single raindrop on a rose, the sunlight playing through the tree crowns.Da: Pludselig opdagede de en lille, gemt del af haven.En: Suddenly, they discovered a small, hidden part of the garden.Da: Det var som et eventyrland, ikke mange kendte til.En: It was like a fairyland not many knew about.Da: Mikkel løftede sit kamera og fangede det magiske lys, der faldt på blomsterne.En: Mikkel lifted his camera and captured the magical light falling on the flowers.Da: Han vidste, at dette var det øjeblik, han havde ventet på.En: He knew this was the moment he had been waiting for.Da: Sofie satte sig ned og begyndte at skitse det hele.En: Sofie sat down and began to sketch it all.Da: Hendes hænder bevægede sig hurtigt, og hun kunne mærke gnisten vende tilbage.En: Her hands moved quickly, and she could feel the spark returning.Da: Kreativiteten flød gennem hende, og hun så sine linjer danne noget smukt på papiret.En: Creativity flowed through her, and she saw her lines forming something beautiful on the paper.Da: Da de færdiggjorde deres arbejde, kiggede de på hinanden og smilede.En: When they finished their work, they looked at each other and smiled.Da: Det var en dag, der startede med hverken mål eller mening, men endte i inspiration.En: It was a day that started with neither goal nor meaning but ended in inspiration.Da: "Vi burde holde kontakten," sagde Sofie med et smil.En: "We should keep in touch," said Sofie with a smile.Da: "Ja," svarede Mikkel.En: "Yes," replied Mikkel.Da: "Måske kan vi lave noget sammen en dag."En: "Maybe we can create something together one day."Da: De udvekslede oplysninger og gik hver til sit, men med en ny forståelse for, hvordan samarbejde og delte oplevelser kan åbne nye døre for kreativiteten.En: They exchanged information and went their separate ways, but with a new understanding of how collaboration and shared experiences can open new doors for creativity.Da: I dag havde de fundet ikke blot kunsten, men også en begyndende venskab midt i Tivolis blomstrende have.En: Today they had found not just art, but also a budding friendship amid Tivoli's blooming garden.

manuskript.En: "I've written a manuscript.Da: Måske kunne du... se på det?"En: Maybe you could... take a look at it?"Da: Lars kiggede op fra sin nu kaffeplettede skjorte og grinende over hendes klodsethed.En: Lars looked up from his now coffee-stained shirt and laughed at her clumsiness.Da: "Ingen skader sket," sagde han med et glimt i øjet.En: "No harm done," he said with a twinkle in his eye.Da: "Og fortælle mig mere om din historie."En: "And tell me more about your story."Da: Freja snakkede passioneret om sin fortælling, og Lars lyttede opmærksomt.En: Freja spoke passionately about her tale, and Lars listened attentively.Da: Da hun var færdig, trak hun det stive manuskript frem fra sin taske.En: When she finished, she pulled the crisp manuscript out of her bag.Da: Lars tog imod det med et smil.En: Lars accepted it with a smile.Da: "Jeg ser frem til at læse det på min rejse," sagde Lars, mens han rejste sig.En: "I look forward to reading it on my journey," Lars said as he stood up.Da: Da Freja vendte tilbage til disken, følte hun sig mere sikker end nogensinde.En: As Freja returned to the counter, she felt more confident than ever.Da: Ikke alene havde hun undskyldt, hun havde også fået Lars til at tage hendes manuskript!En: Not only had she apologized, but she also got Lars to take her manuscript!Da: Hun kiggede på Mikkel, som gav hende en thumbs up.En: She looked at Mikkel, who gave her a thumbs up.Da: Fra den dag lærte Freja en vigtig ting: at gribe øjeblikket.En: From that day, Freja learned an important lesson: to seize the moment.Da: Hendes drømme

My guest today is Mikkel Thorup, the founder and CEO of Expat Money, an expat consultancy company that focuses on helping clients to legally mitigate tax liabilities, obtain second residencies and citizenships, as well as make foreign investments, including international real estate. Raised in Canada and self-educated since the age of 12, Mikkel's journey is anything but conventional. He's lived in nine countries, visited over 110, and owns real estate in ten. His unique blend of lived experience and global expertise gives him an unparalleled perspective on freedom, sovereignty, and the tools needed to thrive outside failing Western democracies. In this episode, we dive into the philosophy of "planting flags", the idea of diversifying your life and assets across multiple jurisdictions to avoid being at the mercy of any one government. Mikkel walks us through the principles of perpetual travel, international tax strategy, second passports, and safe havens across Latin America and beyond. Tune in for Mikkel's insights; an urgent wake-up call to prepare a Plan B before it's too late.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Tyrkiets præsident Erdoğan taler om historiske vendepunkter i fredsforhandlingerne, og ukrainerne advarer om, at russerne gør klar til en ny offensiv. Gør ukrainerne det samme?
