Name: Rico Bergholdt Hansen

A photoblogger gone video...

Born Oct. 20th, 1972 in Odense, Denmark, (I still live and work here). I have a 'Bachelor of Arts' (BA) degree in English & German Business Language and finished one year of a (two year) master's degree in Multimedia design, production & technology.

I work for a very dynamic and expanding company called Mikrofyn - mikrofyn.com who produce "laser levelling and alignment equipment for the construction and agricultural industries". I make assembly manuals for the 'girls' in our production and I'm also the IT guy. :)

I'm a laid back, introverted kinda' guy with a passion for jazzy electronica and tech related stuff. I enjoy my solitude at home with my PC :) However, I do try to 'get out' every now and then and when I travel, I choose my destinations carefully. I hate laying on the beach but love going places that are 'less traveled' or just 'different'. I'm not trying to be odd, that's just how I am :)

I rode my bicycle from Denmark to Expo92 in Sevilla, Spain (through England and France 1992). I've seen most of the USA (au-pair 1994), been to Japan (1995), USA (again in 1997), Moscow, Russia & beyond (2001) and Vancouver / Vancouver Island, Canada (april 2008). I hope to travel more in the future. However, I still have to finish seeing Denmark first - being the huge patriot that I am :)
