Hans Christian Andersen

"To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote:
 To travel is to live."

-H. C. Andersen

I found this quote quite fitting after a trip to the famous writer's house in the town of Odense this Sunday. This trip was the most fascinating outing of my stay in Denmark up until now. Why? I remember reading the celebrated Dane's fairy tales when I was a little kid. Seeing his house and neighbourhood made those magical stories come alive. The neighbourhood where he resided is quaint and makes you feel as if you could be in a fairy tale yourself.
