It has been two weeks since I left Copenhagen. As I get more and more excited to spend quality time with family and friends this summer, I can’t help but look back on the life and daily routine I left behind in Denmark. I remember the places and people that helped make Copenhagen my home for four […]
The heart of Copenhagen is home to some of the city’s best shopping, eating, and entertainment–and is also the neighborhood I’ve called home for the past four months! The amount of things to do and things to eat in the city center is truly astounding, and it’s hard to name a few…but I’ve managed to take […]
I am ending my semester abroad with a new appreciation for many of life’s greatest experiences–travel, cultural immersion, self-discovery, and public transportation. I also can’t deny leaving Copenhagen with a new-found appreciation for the art of brunch. Below I’ve listed some of the favorite brunch spots I’ve visited this semester. Note: I am about to write a quite passionate post […]
One of the highlights of my time as a DIS students has been Field Study Wednesday–while the occasional free Wednesday without is always nice, the places around Copenhagen I’ve visited with my class have truly added to my academic experience. Below I’ve listed some of my favorite field studies of the semester! Lesson at the Tivoli Ballet Theatre, […]
This past weekend, I embarked on a two-day outdoor excursion on the Kullaberg Peninsula of southern Sweden with the Sweden Canoe & Hiking DIScovery Trip. I signed up for this DIS-organized trip way back in November of 2016, and have been looking forward to it ever since! Together with 34 DIS students and 4 faculty members, I spent the […]
I recently spent a day in Nørrebro, a diverse neighborhood north of Copenhagen’s city centre. Nørrebro is home to trendy bars and retail, colorful parks, and eccentric cafes. I spent a sun-filled Saturday in Nørrebro with Melody and Ronja, in what came to resemble my ideal day: there was brunch, a playground, dark chocolate, window-shopping, and good coffee; […]
The following is a piece of writing I created during a field exercise for my Travel Writing course. On a Wednesday morning we headed to Nyhavn, a waterfront district lined with restaurants and shops, famous for its brightly-colored buildings lining the canal. We took a half-hour to write about our experience wandering Nyhavn during a sunny morning, and I’ve included […]
During our the recent week-long April travel break, my friend Melody and I decided to take a three-day trip of a lifetime across Norway. Given all that we covered in only a few days, it truly was a trip of a lifetime. We started in Oslo, ended in Bergen, and explored the fjords along the way. Our transportation was […]
Christianshavn is known as Copenhagen’s canal district, located just east of the city centre and filled with narrow cobblestone streets, boats docked along the water, and canal-side warehouses turned residential and professional spaces. I recently spent a morning and afternoon walking and biking around Christianshavn, below are pictures detailing how I would spend an ideal day exploring […]
After having spent a week in London with my core course, I wanted to embark on one last trip before returning to Copenhagen. After my program ended on Friday evening, I took a train from London to Oxford, intending to spend my last two days in England exploring the university, relaxing, and enjoying the warm weather. This was my first […]
A few weeks ago, I traveled to London with my Strategic Communication core course for our scheduled long study tour. Every DIS student embarks on a long study tour with their core course, traveling to a city in Europe with their peers and faculty to learn more about their chosen industry or field of study in […]
That’s right, I went to not one, but two places during Travel Break 1–starting in Edinburgh and ending in Paris! First, three things to know about my recent trip to the City of Lights. It rained almost the entire time. Our first afternoon and evening were filled with blue skies and sunshine, followed by rain–not drizzle, […]
