Kathrine Bjerregaard holds a Masters degree in History and Philosophy. She began her career as an education officer at the Royal Collections before joining the academic staff at The National Museum of Denmark. For the past ten years, Kathrine has traveled throughout Scandinavia and Europe with Danish groups when not giving guided walks and visits to international visitors in Copenhagen or writing on her next book. Growing up in Luxembourg and Los Angeles with her Danish family and later in Copenhagen has given Kathrine a wide horizon and an American accent. Now living in Copenhagen with her family, she has a keen eye on the local scene and an acute understanding of Danish culture, mentality and history seen from the inside and outside. Kathrine can translate ‘hygge’ and tell tales from Danish history so you get it. Every tour is as individual as the group it is created for.

I've always wanted to visit Gotland and now will make every effort to see this incredible historical island.
This was a fantastic and fascinating virtual tour. Kathrine's deep understanding of the history of the area and her enthusiasm for her subject made the time fly by, The slides were also exceptional and I actually felt like I had visited the numerous sites. I can not wait to visit both Gotland and Faro! Many thanks for another outstanding lecture from Context.
Ms. Bjerregaard’s numerous maps and photographs were a useful addition to a talk about two small, but beautiful, Swedish islands. Our lecturer had been to both of these islands on many occasions, so she was able to speak informatively about everything from medieval ruins to Michelin starred restaurants.
Incredible ability to convey the history, culture and sights to see. Loved that she packed information into an hour 20 minutes. She did an incredible job with beautiful photos, information about places to see and dine and when to go. All around first rate.
