Rudkøbing Harbor 📍 Rudkøbing, Denmark 📸 Marjorie Becker
Did you know there’s no single word for “please” in the Danish language? True story! But that doesn’t mean the Danes are impolite - in fact, they’re famously courteous. Instead, they sprinkle phrases like “be kind” or “if you please” into conversations to soften their requests. So with that in mind, would you be so kind as to read the rest of this Bulletin?

 Skagen Art Museum 📍 Skagen, Denmark 📸 Marjorie Becker | FROM SEA TO SEAAt the very tip of mainland Europe sits Skagen, Denmark: a town where two seas meet (and seem to wave at one another), where the light feels almost otherworldly, and where 19th-century artists flocked to paint its charm for the world to see. |
 Seaweed House📍 Læsø, Denmark 📸 Marjorie Becker | SALTY SHAGGY SHINGLESOn the Danish island of Læsø, the houses seem to wear the sea itself. Centuries ago, when salt-making had stripped the island of trees, wood grew scarce and the islanders turned to the ocean for materials instead. And when it came time to build, it wasn’t the men leading the work - it was the women. |
