Hi guys, welcome back! I just wanted to do a little update video on this channel
and first off can we just celebrate the fact that it's almost low-70s at nine
o'clock in the morning in Denmark which is super rare so I'm sitting outside
I hope the light is ok but I just had to take advantage of this.
I have three things that I kind of want to share with you guys and want to get your feedback
on some of this stuff as well so let's head in. The first thing is that 2018 for
us our family it's mainly gonna be spent in Denmark so we are already starting to
explore - we haven't really done a lot of exploring during this winter
we've been sick a lot it's just been cold and we just haven't really felt up
to it so now we're getting into it again and we really want to explore Denmark some more
We haven't travelled a ton in Denmark neither Morten or I so there
are a lot of places that we want to check out and we would love to bring you guys along!
We've gone to the northern part of Denmark quite a bit and we've
explored that and shared those videos with you guys and you'll like them so
that's awesome thank you! Right now we're focusing on Aarhus, the area around the
city where we live Midtjylland, and all of this very very like hilly awesome
countryside and I love it I'm really excited to share it with you guys during
the summer we're gonna move down south a bit more and over to the islands
In Danish it's called Fyn, and in English it's Funen for some reason I don't know
why it's a bunch of islands and a lot of thatched houses and stuff like that and
H.C. Andersson the author famous fairytale author he's from Odense and that is
one of the cities that we want to explore! The reason why we're focusing on
Denmark for 2018 is it is close by it's a good way for us to test out the camper
a lot more we are doing some renovations and some updates to it right now because
we found on our Italy trip there are a few things that we needed in there to
address and to fix so we're doing that right now and that is very exciting so
it's a good way for us to test it out we haven't seen Denmark and with the age
that Max is in right now he doesn't like to be in the car seat for more than
about an hour so we're taking that into account right now and we don't want to
go too far. If you follow us on GoDownsize you also know that we
being pretty aggressive with saving up money right now. We want to in the future
to be able to buy a house and right now it's just a good time for us to save up
we have a good income and we don't have that many expenses so we're kind of
taking this year 2018 to really put some savings in the bank if we'll buy a house
right away that's a whole another story I'm not sure but for now we just really
want to save up! The second thing that I want to share with you guys I'm really
excited that we are gearing up to do a longer trip again in the camper and we
want to go through Europe again but that will be next spring and we kind of need
your help or want your help to figure out where we should go
so do you guys have any preferences I know that there are a lot of you are
quite a few of you guys are in Switzerland so this is going to be a
European road trip and so all of you Americans will just see you guys another
time but we kind of have different routes that we could take and we don't
know exactly for how long we want to be on the road or where we want to explore
We're gonna go south no matter what, but we can either go west and we go into
Luxembourg Belgium head down to Paris do that trip and maybe like some France and
in Switzerland maybe or not we don't know I definitely want to check out some
parts of Germany but that might be hard to avoid for us anyway because we're
right on top of Germany so we have to go through no matter what.
The other route we can do, is we can head east and then we'll go to Berlin head through the
Czech Republic into Prague and we can go to Vienna as some more of Austria that
we haven't explored and then probably I don't know Slovenia that would be
awesome, Morten really wants to go there but I don't know but let us know if you
have any suggestions. Where do you want to see it as a go to? Where do you want
to see videos from? And are you guys in any areas of Europe where you want us to
come visit you? That would be awesome! So any suggestions any preferences please
leave them down in the comments the third thing is that I want to discuss
with you that I really want to update the name of this channel
It's called One Girl One Suitcase I started it I think three four years
ago maybe five... I don't know, a long time ago
and it's mainly just me traveling around and almost always only with a carry-on
so the name really made sense back then but right now I hardly ever travel alone
and when we do it's gonna be primarily in our camper so the name doesn't really
make that much sense anymore I travel with a family and it's still
downscale living like it's tiny living but I don't know it's not a carry-on so
do you guys have any suggestions at all then please let me know down in the
comments as well I would love to get your suggestions and input that's it for
this video the sun is getting really bright in my face I can hardly see
anything anymore but I just want to share is beautiful weather with you guys
and stay tuned because next week we're gonna start publishing all of our
Denmark footage so we have a lot of exciting things coming up and more to go
so see you guys next time, bye!
