Danish Summer

I wish I could find a way to encapsulate how amazing these past few weeks have been, but I just can’t do it justice. It’s been an absolute dream. It’s been peaceful. It’s been challenging. It’s been beautiful and sunny and gray and rainy. It’s been warm enough to visit the beach and as cold as…

#AdventureAlly

We’ve both spent the last few days burrowed up in our 475 sf apartment with some sort of stomach virus. Brandon came home from work mid-day on Friday as sick as a dog (I was already sick at home) and ever since then we’ve been nursing ourselves back to health. Being sick is never fun,…

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Another really great day trip we’ve enjoyed while here in Denmark was visiting the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art located on the Øresund Sound in Humlebæk. It took about 45 minutes by train to get to get there, which was a pretty fun journey since it was Brandon’s first train ride! We got a little too comfortable…

Frederiksborg Slot

A few weeks ago we took a day trip to Hillerød, Denmark to see the Frederiksborg Castle, the largest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia. Hillerød is located about an hour north of Copenhagen by train.* I was pretty excited about this excursion because the pictures are absolutely beautiful and I was really excited to see the garden…

For the Love of Flowers

I am in love with all of the blooming flowers around town here in Denmark! There are roses everywhere and so many flower markets on the side of the street. I got a fresh bouquet of roses yesterday for only 10 Danish Krone, (only $1.46!!) I’m not sure why I have been so attracted to…

Copenhagen: Week One Highlights

I arrived to Copenhagen on a Tuesday morning, and Brandon was fortunate enough to run home from work for a few hours to meet me and help me get situated. We enjoyed a nice lunch together walked around a bit, and he pointed out a few places he thought I would enjoy. One in particular was…

Arrival

Well, I made it to Denmark! I’m happy to be reunited with Brandon and settled in our home away from home. While exploring around the apartment today I experienced unpredidctible weather (both chilly and extremely warm,) toured the Rundetaarn and stumbled upon an exhibit on the history of tattoos in Copenhagen, which was even complete with…

Copenhagen Summer

I could not be more excited, proud, and happy for my boyfriend’s amazing opportunity this summer. Two weeks from now, he will be beginning a 13 week internship at Noma the #1 best restaurant in the world!! He was awarded a grant for culinary professionals enabling him to travel and work in Copenhagen, Denmark this summer! For years,…
