LUCKY is a self-experienced travel book, told mainly in pictures. However, there are plenty of stories and descriptions. Positive, friendly, embracing, warm-hearted, and very colorful. The story is told by Karsten Bie Jensen.
It is about passion for life and navigating via the heart.
Most of the photos are from the Maldives where Karin and Karsten live and owned a guesthouse for 10 years.
Other destinations are the US., Greenland, Sri Lanka, France, Korea, Denmark, and Bangladesh.
It's an inspiring story about meeting the World with open arms and hearts through curiosity. Combined with a genuine interest in foreign cultures, food, and uplifting moments.
This is a real-life adventure unfolding right in front of you.
Love.Little did I know that all the hard work of becoming a chef would lead directly to love.
Training to be a chef at that time included going to culinary school in Copenhagen. One of the teachers was special. Her name was Karin.
We both felt very strongly attracted to each other without knowing what it was. She was in a relationship and had children. I was in my early 20s and had things I needed to do.
It wasn't about sex. It was much more! However, the timing wasn't right. We needed to wait.
We waited until the beginning of 1991 and moved in together. Karin's children, Kim and Heidi, were eleven and ten at the time.
Today, more than 30 years later, Karin and I live on a tropical island. It is called Velidhoo, a Maldivian Island in the Indian Ocean, southwest of Sri Lanka.
Karin is 71 years old and I'm 58. Kim and Heidi live in Copenhagen, Denmark, and in Nuuk, Greenland. We have 4 grandchildren.
PHOTOSMore than 285 photos, mainly from the Maldives, but also from the United States, Sri Lanka, Paris, Bangladesh, and Denmark.
