It feels very surreal to me that my time in Copenhagen has come to a close – my mind has definitely still not wrapped itself around the fact that I’m back in the United States. I already miss Denmark (a LOT), but I try to keep reminding myself that it will always be there for … More week 16: hej hej, danmark.
Hej everyone! I’ve decided to switch up the format of my blog post this week in the spirit of Thanksgiving. Instead of my typical chronological recap, I’m going to make this a “gratitude” post in which I’ll give thanks by sharing how all of my moments this week (the last full week of classes!) capture … More week 15: tusind tak, københavn
Just when you thought my semester was winding down and I was done traveling, I made it to three new countries this week! On Friday evening, Hope and I traveled to Geneva, Switzerland. Bright and early the next morning, we hopped on a bus and crossed the border into France (I guess that means I … More week 14: switzerland & italy & spain, oh my!
This week, I’ve discovered how much the Danes love Christmas. Back home in the States, many people firmly object to anything Christmas-related before our American holiday of Thanksgiving. Granted, Christmas still sneaks in a little early in the U.S., but it’s definitely met with more opposition. In contrast, as soon as it turns November 1 … More week 13: christmas in november
Hej all!! This week, the sun has started setting earlier and earlier every night. All of a sudden, it’s been getting dark around 4pm, and the days have become that much shorter. It feels like it’s time for bed every day at 6pm! The temperatures have fallen to the 40s now – another precipitous drop-off … More week 12: winter is coming
This week, my family came to visit Copenhagen! We did the perfect mix of things I’ve already experienced (with a new twist) plus places I’ve never been and have always wanted to go but haven’t yet had the time. It was so much fun to spend time with them and show them around Copenhagen! 🙂 … More week 11: delving deeper into denmark – fam in cope!
Hej everyone! This past weekend, Claire, Lauren, and I had the most amazing time in Norway. I can honestly say that it was (by far) one of my all-time favorite trips of the semester. As soon as I first glimpsed the fjords from the plane window when we flew into Bergen, I was utterly in … More week 10: off the beaten path in the city of seven mountains
Upon arriving home in Copenhagen from my travels to Germany and Poland last Friday, I turned right back around and left for Brussels the next day! I was supposed to leave on Friday night, but my flight was completely cancelled while I was on my way to the airport (pretty disappointing and a little stressful!). … More week 9: brussels + a study abroad midpoint reflection
Hi everyone! I spent this week (fall break #1) in Berlin and Poznań with my Medical Practice & Policy (MPP) core course, where we learned about the German and Polish healthcare systems and saw the sights of the cities. It was a fantastic week! I’ll write this blog post in the form of a day-by-day … More week 8: long study tour!
This was the perfect cozy week in Denmark filled with lots of hyggelig moments. I decided to explore the rest of the neighborhoods of Copenhagen (as well as a bunch of different coffee shops)! On Saturday morning, I met Claire in Østerbro at Juno the Bakery, a Danish bakery famous for its special cardamom buns. … More week 7: kaffe & cope
