About us
In "Embrace Discomfort" I organize events almost every week. We mostly go hiking, but we also do other activities, and most of the events take place in Denmark.
I'm open to any suggestions, so please DM me if you have any.
Here are the group rules that I expect everyone to follow:
- The purpose of this group, as the name implies, is to embrace discomfort. This means that when you hit the RSVP button, you're committing to join. I understand that sometimes circumstances prevent attendance, but not showing up without notice is a red flag. Doing this twice will result in removal from the group. I'm sorry to start with such a strict rule, but recently there have been many no-shows.
- Participants must respect each other, regardless of religion, nationality, ethnicity, etc. Activities and joy unify us.
- Some events are paid, such as booking a shelter or a car for trips to different cities. If you RSVP for a paid event, I expect you to transfer the money within 24 hours. Otherwise, you'll be moved to "Not Going" section.
- For hiking events, you must be self-supported and have all the required gear with you, such as a tent (if needed), good hiking shoes, etc.
- Late cancellations/ghosting will not be tolerated. Anyone who cancels late will be removed from the group immediately. I'm sorry to make such a harsh statement, but apparently, some people won't adhere to this basic rule.
Thank you!

10 KM Hike in Faxe + Visting Limestone Quarry

Orø Adventure Day: Walk, Wander, Wonder
Holbæk Station, Jernbaneplads 7, 4300 Holbæk, Holbæk, DKLet's hop on te little island of Orø close to Copenhagen in the middle of the Ise Fjord to enjoy some hours in beautiful nature, quiet surroundings and hopefully some sun ;-)
We will follow a route passing through northern Orø, where the landscape is marked by the legacy of the Ice Age. When the ice receded about 16,000 years ago, it left behind large quantities of stones and gravel, which today form the island's hilly terrain. The walk follows the coast at Salvig, where you can see traces of the Stone Age sea's influence in the form of steep coastal cliffs, which today are overgrown or used for grazing.Programme
