Good Bye Copenhagen!
I cannot believe my abroad experience is officially over tomorrow. It feels like just yesterday I was hopping on the wrong metro trains, walking into the wrong classrooms, and asking people what “skol” means (it means cheers!). Looking back, I am amazed at how much I have truly assimilated into the Danish culture in 4 quick…
Weekend Trip to Dublin
Last weekend I met up with a bunch of my college friends in Dublin, Ireland and had the best time! Here are some things we did during our three night stay in Dublin: On our first full day, we booked in advanced a 12 hour bus tour that took us from Dublin to the Cliffs…
Reflecting on Three Months and Preparing for the Last One
It is crazy to think that a month from now, I will be packing up my ever-growing wardrobe into my two suitcases and heading back to the states. The past three months abroad have been the some of most memorable of my life. Between traveling all over Europe, exploring Denmark, and meeting people from all…
Long Study Tour: London!
It feels weird being back in Copenhagen after being gone for so long! I am so fortunate that my core course, Strategic Communications, was able to travel to London for 5 days for our long study tour. A long study tour is a week long trip to a specific location in Europe with your core…
Day Trip Around Denmark!
This past weekend I decided to purposely not book a trip anywhere so I could give my self the chance to finally explore Denmark outside of Copenhagen. Before even coming abroad, I made a document of places around Denmark I wanted to explore, and Mons Klint was #1 on my list! I grabbed two of…
Danish Values
A few instances happened last week that I have not stopped thinking about.

On my way to Stockholm, Sweden last week I lost my wallet…

Core Course Week 1
I just got back to Copenhagen after a three day/two night excursion with my core course class where we traveled to different cities within Denmark. DIS has a unique academic layout; as a student here, you are required to pick a core course which acts like your Major. I picked Copenhagen largely because of the…
Here’s What People Wont Share on Their Instagram…
I am approaching my third week in Copenhagen and time has truly flown by. Time does fly when you’re having fun, but time also flies by when everything around you is new and different. I’ve liked to describe my first three weeks so far as feeling like you have graduated college, and then immediately being…
First Week!
I can not believe it has already been a little over a week being here! Honestly, I have been so busy that I have not even had time to be homesick yet! Almost immediately arriving in Copenhagen from DC, I noticed some fundamental cultural differences. I was shocked to see so many bikers on every road.…
