In a recent casual podcast conversation with one of Gj Experiences' senior founders, Sahaj Chawla, we talked about the unique elements of their tourism business. Gulaab Jamoon Experiences, founded by college students, developed from a desire to challenge the too formal and unorganised tourist industry. They prioritise establishing a casual environment for customers, leading in a completely immersing experience. Balancing this informality with effective operations is vital. Key insights include the need of maintaining a relaxed yet functioning organisational culture and prioritising human connection to encourage inclusion among trip participants. Furthermore, their tailored marketing strategy, which is geared for both corporate and student customers, emphasises the need of understanding one's audience.

When can a foreigner truly be considered "Danish enough"? The journey of adapting to a new culture often raises this thought-provoking question. Sam Floy, in his pursuit of mastering the Danish language, shares in this video two defining milestones that marked his progress. Learning a language goes beyond vocabulary; it’s about connecting and feeling like part of the community. The experience of adapting to life in Denmark is undoubtedly unique for each foreigner working in Denmark, but there are definitely also some common features as well. Encouraging foreigners to speak Danish when interacting with them at work, in stores, or other settings can be a meaningful way to support their efforts to feel more at home in Danish society. Check out Sam's two practical tips in the video.
