That time I went winter bathing 🥶 and lived to

That time I went winter bathing 🥶 and lived to tell the tale. If someone invites you to "sauna" in Denmark, don't be caught unaware - just know that a dip in ice cold water is in your future! 😱🥶😩 #winterbathing #copenhagen #hyggelife

1. Victorious after beating the prospect of an icy demise.
2. Blissfully unaware of what lay ahead.
3. Getting closer to the moment of truth.
4. Trying to psych myself with Chloe having tricked me into this!
5. Proof, I did it!!!!
6. Victorious, relieved and frozen 🥶

A week later and I'm still on a cloud. Thank you to everyone who came from near and far, braved global IT nonsense to come and celebrate with me but also those who couldn't make it and sent their love. Thank you for all the birthday wishes from everyone, I still feel so loved and cuddled. I won't lie, there were a couple of ugly crying episodes, when my parents spoke and especially when I saw my sister pull up after a 29hr epic adventure. I have the best family and friends, full stop 🥰❤️
