““In 2010 I wrote a danish Language book about my personal experiences as entrepreneur and investor. It was very well received and sold out in just 7 weeks, as I got wide media coverage and was listed by denmarks biggest newspaper Jyllandsposten as one of the 10 best management books of the year. However, while the book did contain real life accounts of the struggles, doubts, mistakes and successes that comes with entrepreneurship and global investments, it was also about trying to have fun in between.
To our family, that fun evolves largely around skiing and sailing. My first experience with sailing was going to Greenland with my parents on a freight ship when I was nine. The weather was truly horrible, but the trip was thrilling anyway. When I was 19 my uncle took my sister and I plus friends on a trip in his homemade boat on the European canals. We started at Paris and ended in Ærøskøbing in Denmark a few weeks later.
Since then I have always loved boats of almost any kind, and so do my wife and children. Together we have sailed in the Maldives, Galapagos, Florida, Bahamas, Exumas, Spain, Gibraltar, France, Italy, Croatia, Tyrkey and Greece. Here we have seen many amazing natural sites, which we have explored by diving, swimming, kayaking or just gliding by. We have also visited charming old cities such as Venice, Dubrovnik and even Sevilla, which we reached in 2007 via the Guadalquivir River. Interestingly, it it is now perfectly possible to be broadband-connected around the clock on a boat anywhere in the world, thus enabling you to combine work, pleasure and adventure.
Skiing is our other great hobby. We now try to ski 50-60 days a year, mainly in the Swiss and Italian Alps around Verbier, which I think is Europe´s best off-piste ski area. Sometimes leisurely for a couple of hours as a break in a workday, and at other occations seriously all day with mountain guides. There is nothing quite like it.
