  • Reasons to celebrate

    Not caught up? Read Episodes 1-20 here. I have found many reasons to celebrate over the past few days. Copenhagen received its first coating of snow and its first taste of the holiday season.

  • Why Denmark?

    Not caught up? Read Episodes 1-8 here. The number one question I got asked by anyone I’ve met in the past two months is “why Denmark?” I can’t believe I haven’t written about that yet! I’ve been so busy writing about all my fun adventures that I couldn’t possibly fit it in. Well, lucky for…

  • La playa

    Not caught up? Read Episodes 1-7 here. It’s weird to experience summer knowing it isn’t a break from school now that I’ve graduated. There’s no official end date to my ‘vacation’.
