So you want to look like a Dane? I don’t blame you. Danes are hot, so I’m going to tell you how to look just like them. I’ve taken The Meaning of Style for the last four months taught by a stylish Dane who I quote “feels uncomfortable” if he … Continue reading →

Vi elsker, vi elsker, vi elsker Parken! Vi elsker, vi elsker, vi elsker FCK!
I never thought I’d see the day when I would be chanting at a soccer, excuse me, fodbold game.  Soccer was basically treated as a second class citizen at my high school whi… Continue reading →

On Thursday, I introduced the beloved holiday of Thanksgiving to my Danish family.  The entire time I’ve been in Denmark, I have participated in countless Danish traditions and it was so much fun to be able to share one of mine for a change. Go Amer… Continue reading →

When I was a little girl (or maybe just last year), I thought that backpacking through Europe meant that you had a backpack and had to climb mountains in order to get all the way from Poland to Spain. I’m not joking. Before coming here and realizing … Continue reading →

It is 7:26 AM….I think. I hope. My computer clock doesn’t match my phone clock, so I am assuming daylight savings has hit.  I never remember to fall ahead or spring behind because I tend to just fall/trip anyway. I normally wouldn’t worry about … Continue reading →

Sadly, I did not get the stand-up comedian gene when I was born. (I got the “I can throw a football 50 yards” gene instead, which does not contribute to my social skills whatsoever.)  Thanks to my obvious awkwardness in my hand motions (thanks for… Continue reading →

Don’t tell Hannah, but her mom has stolen her blog!  I spent 10 days with her in Denmark and had the chance to experience her life as a Dane.
I arrived in Copenhagen on Thursday and spent the first 3 days learning how to be a good American tourist i… Continue reading →

Hej Hej! Hvordan går det? Det går godt. Jeg hedder Hannah. Hvad hedder du?  Jeg kommer fra Minnesota. Hvor kommer du fra? Jeg er 20 år. Hvor gammel er du?  Jeg har fødselsdag i maj.  Hvornår har du fødselsdag?  Jeg bor i Smørum hos en dansk … Continue reading →

This blogging thing. I need to get better at it. I said in the beginning that I’d try to post 2-3 times a week and I haven’t really stuck to that. But I’ve been busy. (And that’s a good thing!) But from now on, I will attempt to flood your Face… Continue reading →

On Saturday, my friend Tara and I explored a very interesting, to say the least, part of Copenhagen.  Christiania, or Freetown Christiania, or Fristaden Christiania, as the Danes say, is a self-proclaimed autonomous neighborhood (thank you Wikipedia)…. Continue reading →

For the last two posts I have avoided talking about my host family and there was a reason why: I had a feeling I’d be switching.  And I was correct! I officially move into my new house tonight and I am sooo ready for this switch.  My new family inv… Continue reading →

And I’m officially in Copenhagen people.
After my eight-hour flight from Chicago that included two meals, hot hand towels and a personal movie screen, I landed.  The first hill I had to conquer was pulling two gigantic suitcases through the airport … Continue reading →

Today is Thursday.  Tomorrow is Friday.  And then comes Saturday; the day I’ve been waiting for since 8th grade.  As a brace-faced middle-schooler, my brother Jake studied abroad in Australia and ever since then, I’ve been counting down the days… Continue reading →
