My Houseboat

In my dreams I live in this houseboat with my partner and our dog Arko.

We have enough space on the roof to grow Basil and tomatoes. We can soak up the sun up there and enjoy the view, which is hopefully changing a lot … There’s space on the terrace to play cards or games with friends. The lampions bring beautiful light in the evenings and they create a wonderful atmosphere. They remind us of places we have been to, as well as the souvenirs we hung up inside the houseboat.

Working takes place at a desk in front of a big window with the most beautiful view and when having breakfast, you can watch people go by. Whoever needs to be alone for a little while can find his freedom in the cosy bedroom. If it’s cold outside, the sofa is big enough to nestle there the whole day and to watch raindrops falling on the water, as we have large doors with window glass.

A houseboat is a dream of present times and a past dream of the future. Considering that the earth and its rivers and seas are changing so fast, I wonder how long we can still allow ourselves to dream this dream. The dream of a home wherever you want to be.

Maybe in future people will only be jealous of the wishes that people of the past were able to dream of. Because the space for our dreams becomes rare – it is assigned to high-rises, in which countless dreamers will finally find their place.   

Or will even all people live in swimming cities? Will we be able to follow our dreams? In my dreams every person will have a secure and nice place to hide and recover from this exhausting world. But it will indeed be the earth itself, that will define our place in future.

You can enjoy our world in a wonderful way, as you can build the stage you are dreaming of at the wharf. The set comes with the stage of Denmark, of course. Go abroad in Kopenhagen, where you will have a lovely time with friends, enriching conversations and good food.

Wherever you want to be!
