DIS Abroad Spring 2022
During my first week abroad, I found out that my host sisters had never tried American Mac n Cheese. Upon discovering this shocking information, I offered to cook Mac n’ Cheeses for my host family. Long story short, the Mac ‘n Cheese was a hit. They loved it (despite the alarming amount of cheese– for… Continue reading what to cook for your Danish host family that wants to experience *real* American food
Sitting on my train, it just hit me that I have less than 3 weeks left of study abroad !?!. (I can’t figure out the punctuation to explain my feelings to this realization). It has thrown me into a bit of a crisis. Did I accomplish all that I wanted to? Did I see all… Continue reading 3 weeks left? end of semester crisis.
(As of April 22, 2022) One blaring difference between the United States and Denmark (and one of the more exciting aspects that lead me to choose to study abroad in Denmark) is the Danish monarchy, of which the U.S. obviously does not have. In this blog post, I will attempt to breakdown all you need… Continue reading A Guide to Royalty in Denmark
A couple of weeks ago, my professor canceled class on Friday (my only class of the day), so I thought it would be a wonderful idea to explore another part of Denmark and take a spontaneous (solo) day trip! So, I logged onto the DSB app and bought a round trip train ticket to Odense,… Continue reading day trip to Odense.

My Core Course, Cultural Diversity & Integration, is currently on our flight back from Thessaloniki, the 2nd largest city in Greece (former 2nd largest city of Turkey). We spent the last 5 days eating… Continue reading It was all Greek to me – Long Study Tour
During the onset of the pandemic, I found myself turning to books more than people. I was searching for adventure, friends, family, new places, and new ideas. As I consumed book after book, I realized that I was overwhelmingly gravitating towards a trope coined in most young adult literature reviews as a “found family”. According… Continue reading Found Family Abroad: Why I love my homestay.

Hana is still visiting me and Miller just left Sunday. On Thursday, some more guest stars will appear. Anyways, cheers. Off… Continue reading Hi, loyal followers of my blogger life.
(Updated April 2022) Because almost half the semester has already passed (crazy!!!!), I have compiled a list of my recommended places to visit, eat at, wander at, and appreciate some Copenhagen-ness. This was actually a wonderful assignment I created for myself, as I have now realized I am seriously lacking in discovering CPH in some… Continue reading *Ultimate (!!!) Guide to Copenhagen for a Study-Abroad Student/20-something/Young Adult*
