Simply, My LIfe: Team Event in Denmark

A few weeks ago, I found myself back in DK for the second time this year. This time I was there to join in on a weeklong team event with my awesome colleagues from around the world. With 2 Americans, 1 German, 2 Chinese, 1 Spaniard, 1 Ghanaian and about 20 Danes (only 2 women in total), we spent the week in a town called Vejle attending meetings and working on our IT issues together. However, it wasn't "all work and no play". Our manager had quite the surprise for us. On Thursday, a bus picked us up and took us to an old military base where all in 1 day, we drove ATV's, rode in and steered a helicopter and sat shotgun in a corvette with a professional driver going speeds of 220 km/hour and doing 360's! It was a grand day of adrenaline and some of the Danes were even equating it to the best day of their whole lives. Adrenaline aside, it truly was an amazing week. We covered a lot of topics but more importantly, we bonded allowing for better teamwork and the ability to put faces with names we typically only see over email or IM.
