My writingMy purpose with my writing is to be entertaining, and maybe the reader can learn something from it or be inspired. I spice up my writing with travel stories and share my insights. My storytelling may serve as an inspiration for those working through depression, going through transition, or wanting to travel more.Making healthier lifestyle choicesAfter quitting drinking and failing with a business venture, I had a long, drawn-out mental health crisis, which I have recovered from. By leading a healthier lifestyle, I work on avoiding a recurrence. Then, in June 2022, I had a heart attack and participated in a rehabilitation program at a hospital in Denmark. Now, I try to exercise more, and develop healthier habits.Writing from anywhereI started writing and posting on social media about a problem I had in the Cayman Islands around a property and business venture there and about my business in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, which I was then trying to save. My posts on social media then developed into something more permanent during the pandemic. I travel and write from anywhere I feel comfortable.Social media blogI refer to my postings on social media as a social media blog. After I started posting short texts, more frequently during the pandemic, I extended it into a longer format that overlaps with my social media posts that now serve as an introduction to my writing, and I post them on my website first and then on my social media.My online publication “Becoming a Writer”My mission is to share the joy of writing, inspiring readers through entertaining stories and personal insights. By sharing experiences of travel, transition, and overcoming challenges, I aim to spark curiosity, encourage personal growth, and connect with readers seeking inspiration on their own journeys.Living in Denmark and the Dominican RepublicLiving in Denmark again is turning out to be very rewarding. I can tap into the know-how of a society that is so advanced in many areas. In the Dominican Republic, I've learned that knowing a country and its people is a special kind of wealth that can't be measured in money—a perspective I gained from my experiences as a nomad and expat.Please subscribe"Becoming a Writer" is an online publication with the goal to entertain, inspire, and help unlock creative potential, whether you're creating content for personal growth, professional development, or self-expression. You can find my publication on my website and I distribute my work through a LinkedIn newsletter and on Medium and send it out by email.

Nomadic Blog WriterBecoming A Writer Apr 2022 - PresentAarhus, Central Denmark Region, DenmarkI am now living in Aarhus, Denmark, after almost thirty years away and twenty years away from Denmark as I was almost ten years in Copenhagen. I lived as an expat in the Dominican Republic and went through all four stages of cultural shock: excitement, irritation, adjustment, and adaptation. I prolonged the excitement phase, also referred to as the honeymoon stage, by moving around and traveling, spending time in different places. I think the irritation and adjustment phases overlap and are, of course, together, the main learning phases. You are challenged and irritated, then you adjust, then there are new challenges with the culture, and you adjust again.They say when you move back to your country of origin, you go through a reverse culture shock and adaptation. I have been coming back more and more to Denmark over the last five years, so I expect it won’t be a brutal process. In my writing, I am going from a shorter form of writing on social media to a longer one with newsletters and e-books. With time, I will need more help editing and proofreading my English, and I am not always the most detail-oriented. I have my “Remote Mobile Office,” my MacBook Air, my iPhone, and now also an iPad. I write only in English. It’s more competitive, but I might reach a larger audience when I have better defined and developed my niche. -
Digital NomadBecoming A Writer May 2002 - Mar 2020Dominican RepublicI have, since 2002, spent most of my time in the Caribbean. In the Cayman Islands, from 2014 to 2017, I wanted to set up an online business in a tax-free zone, build a house and move there. I failed miserably. The first two to three years, 2002-2005, I spent mostly in Cuba, and I luckily didn’t try to set up a business there. Seems I was smarter when I was younger. For fifteen years, I worked with real estate in the Dominican Republic and set up a workspace facility with virtual office services in Santo Domingo, which I closed at the start of the pandemic. Over six years ago, in September 2018, I flew to the Cayman Islands from Santo Domingo via Miami and had some wine on the plane. I decided not to drink on arrival as I needed to solve a complex problem. Without planning it, I have not had one drink since.In 2015, I obtained a business license with a work permit in the Cayman Islands and started building a house. I had big plans. I would develop an online business in a tax-free zone, move there, and use my office in Santo Domingo for operations. It started to go sour. I could not manage the construction, which finished over two years later than planned, and I never developed the online business. I gave up my business license in the Cayman Islands and sold the house at a huge loss. During the process, I experienced a mental health crisis, starting with anxiety disorder and panic attacks, resulting in a nervous breakdown, followed by a long period of depression, all lasting three to four years. It culminated from a long period where mental illness and problematic drinking increasingly got a hold on me and influenced my personal life and my business.

Educational BackgroundBecoming A Writer Jun 1988 - May 2003Copenhagen, Capital Region, DenmarkI have gone through five very different main phases shaping my background for writing: in a family corporate business, at university, traveling as a nomad, expat life with a local small business, and recently, starting a new phase working remotely with online content creation. I started on a nomadic lifestyle over twenty years ago, around 2000, but eventually decided to live in the Dominican Republic, where I lived as an expat for fifteen years and had a local real estate business. After high school in 1988, I worked for my family’s business, the Pressalit Group, in Aarhus, Denmark, for five years, including a two-year trainee period in Hamburg, Germany. Then, I started at university in Copenhagen and finished my law degree in 2000.A couple of years ago, I heard the term digital nomad, which is someone who travels and works from a laptop without having a permanent home, and I realized I had been one on and off for almost twenty years. However, for the first several years, it was not with much of the digital as I had limited internet access, and it was before social media. Typically, you work mainly by yourself and only loosely belong to communities. I mentioned the term to an American from the expat community in the Dominican Republic. He said, “Ha, they finally found a term for it, ah. A digital nomad. That’s like sexing up an unemployed guy with a laptop who knows some technology and a bit of business.” I thought that was hilarious. I have known many people with those characteristics over the years. Some were independently wealthy, and others lived from hand to mouth. It characterizes me more and more, actually.
