PRIVATELY I was married to my wonderful husband Mads in 2005 and have 3 very loving, yet ambitious youngsters born between 2005 and 2009. We also have 3 very spoiled cats. I enjoy a life without smoke and alcohol and if I can get a coffee without caffein, I am happy. I love spending time with my family, as well as reading articles, travelling, taking photos, fitness, hiking and all year-round outside swimming if I have access to good outside swimming conditions.
