Goodbye Copenhagen…

Goodbye Copenhagen…

March 26, 2020May 14, 2020 Posted in DIS, Housing, Living Like a LocalLeave a comment

Just two weeks ago I was sitting at brunch with my friends in Copenhagen. We were realistic about the fact that due to COVID-19 our time in Copenhagen was most likely going to be cut short but we all thought we would at least have a week more of time. In between stuffing our faces…… Continue reading Goodbye Copenhagen…

When I say I went to Louisiana for the day I DO NOT mean the state of Louisiana, but instead the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art outside of Copenhagen. My friend from university who is also studying abroad was visiting me this past weekend so I decided we should check out the much talked about…… Continue reading Went to Louisiana for the Day…

So, not to flex BUT, I just had ten days off of school. Here, let me explain. At DIS, you and your core course have a travel week at some point in the semester dedicated to exploring somewhere else in Europe in order to further enhance your core course material outside of Copenhagen. There are…… Continue reading School’s Out…

It can be somewhat tricky to stay healthy while abroad with the allure of delicious food and drinks constantly tempting you, no surprise, BUT it is possible. In this blog post, I am going to walk you through the various ways I try to stay healthy while abroad here in Copenhagen. The first, and maybe…… Continue reading Staying Healthy While Abroad…

Hej, everyone! I know I know, the title is misleading. I am posting on a Monday but I PROMISE I had this post written up yesterday and just forgot to upload it (oops). ANYWAY, I wanted to start something on my blog called “Cycling Sunday” because it would be a great way to encourage me…… Continue reading Cycling Sunday: Nyhavn

So apparently, I have been living in Copenhagen for the past three weeks. This information is TRULY mind-blowing to me as I feel as though I have been living here for so much longer. I have already done so much in such little time so I am very excited about what’s to come. I have…… Continue reading 3 Weeks in…

I feel like at this point I am most definitely getting into a routine here in Copenhagen which is really comforting. I now know the coffee shops I like (and which have student discounts), the bus routes I can take, and for the most part, I can navigate without Google Maps which is honestly just…… Continue reading First week of classes…

Tomorrow marks one week since I began my journey to Copenhagen. The fact that I’ve only been here for less than a week is mind-blowing to me as I feel like I have already been here for so much longer. These past couple days have been some of the busiest days but I wouldn’t change…… Continue reading Settling In…
