The long-awaited visit of JP to Copenhagen finally arrived! He visited the 22nd to the 27th, a short and condensed trip, just in time for Thanksgiving! We had a great time revisiting my favorite tourist spots and seeing a few that I had yet to visit. The city is now decorated for Christmas, giving a new [...] Continue reading →

My final excursion has come to a close. Destination: London. I actually did not expect to love London as much as I did. Obviously, since I bought the plane tickets, I anticipated enjoying it, but I always thought the rolling hills of Tuscany were more my style. However, London is my new favorite city. (Do [...] Continue reading →

So, if being in Copenhagen for the semester wasn’t enough, DIS just gave us a two week travel break. Although I haven’t been feeling the best, I was able to go on most of it! At the beginning of the semester, my friend Delaney and I planned on a whirlwind tour of the Western side [...] Continue reading →

The reason I haven’t been writing is because I have been very sick the past few weeks. Unfortunately, I have been suffering from a major flare-up related to my Celiac’s disease. It kept me out of class for awhile. I have spent much time with doctors, and even ended up in the hospital once. I [...] Continue reading →

I never imagined myself travelling to Latvia. I never told myself I wouldn’t, I just never really thought of it at all. As it turns out, Riga, Latvia is a beautiful city full of culture, music, and cheap food. We arrived Sunday October 2nd after a 4am wake-up call. First activity (after lunch): three hour [...] Continue reading →

My past week has been full of “hands-on learning experiences” as they like to stress over here in Denmark. Basically, it has been a very academic week. It all began with a visit to the Danish Council of Ethics with two of my classmates from my Public Health core class. We had to set up [...] Continue reading →

Vikings didn’t actually wear metal helmets with fur and horns. Apparently this image is a German invention. Biggest disappointment of the day. The tour guide explained that horns are very impractical in war, which does make sense. However, it dashed my hopes of posing on a viking ship dressed in the get-up. It’s okay, we [...] Continue reading →

One of the first questions I tend to ask before traveling anywhere is, “How’s the food?” I like to eat. I was told that Danish food is not excellent. I was told that they fry everything and that their diet is very high-fat. Well, maybe it isn’t healthy, but it didn’t sound unpalatable! On the contrary, [...] Continue reading →

A rainy day and deafening thunder is the perfect Shakespearian ambiance to tour Kronborg Castle (also known as Hamlet’s Castle). Amid the down-pouring rain, we hustled in and out of the chapel, dungeons, and main areas with our large group and Danish tour guide. It took about an hour and a half, but we were able to see most [...] Continue reading →

After yet another long day of walking, getting lost, and therefore touring a bit of the city, I decided to join the gym. Around 6:30pm (or 18:30), my two best girlfriends here (Bene and Delaney) and I strolled across the street in our workout gear with plans to negotiate for the best monthly deal possible.
