Hello nation, this is Alexander Kudre here. I'm tuning in from Kansas City, Missouri. I'm originally from Friedensport, Denmark. I chose to travel here to go to Park University and play golf. Somebody came to Friedensport, Denmark, never been there before. I'd say one of the unique things is the culture there, the nature, the part of it where you just look around and you go, that's so beautiful. It's just things you don't see in other places of the world. So that's what you got to get out, really experience the nature part of it. Danish culture, when you go, you cycle everywhere, you walk, you don't drive places, you eat healthy, you don't go to fast food restaurants, you eat locally, you try the local stuff and that's what I would try if I went to Friedensport for the first time. Really try the local things, the nature things. You sit outside by the lake and eat Danish merbrok. That's one thing I would definitely do if I've never been there before. Got a lovely place called Skipperhuset. Got amazing lunch, you can sit outside, view over the lake and a tiny harbour. So beautiful, worth every penny of it.
