Abstract
This article focuses on how girls create places of meaning and opportunity through collective movement. It is based on an ethnographic study of the everyday experiences and mobility of 10-13 year old girls living in a suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark. The girls ventured for a sense of freedom and a 'place of their own' to pursue their interests and social relationships. For some girls the creation of places where they felt 'at home' would entail breaking rules and transgressing spatial boundaries set by adults.
