Month: July 2014

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday! I only have one more day of class in the classroom. My paper is done and ready to be handed in, and everything is beginning to wrap up. My housemates are beginning to pack and say their goodbyes, but we still have 2 days! I’m not done with Copenhagen…

Today was a simply wonderful day. My words can barely describe it, but, as always, I’ll do my best. This week in my class we are focusing on contemporary works that reflect Viking culture. Today was spent discussing and watching Game of Thrones. If you didn’t know, I am a fan of both the show…

The plan was remade, and we made it to Amalienborg today. It is a beautiful palace. The museum is one of the four noble houses from way back when. Back when the royalty were living in Christiansborg and Rosenborg. Of the four palaces, two of them are occupied. One by the queen and one by…

Lazy Sundays are the best kinds of Sundays, as has previously been established. However, I do enjoy doing something around Copenhagen every day. Todays plan was to go to the Amalienborg Palace and take a tour. Unfortunately our sleepy Sunday gave us a late start, we got there 30 minutes before it was going to…

Today was my last day in Iceland and my first day back in Copenhagen. Iceland has easily been one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too, and I was very sad to leave it behind. We left the hotel relatively early…but some of our group didn’t take our departure time seriously. We…

Today we headed out for another bus tour! In our class we have been studying lots of Icelandic Viking Sagas. Many of these sagas are based off of true facts and real people. We got to see plenty of great Icelandic sites. They are more impressive if you have read the sagas. We got to…

If you haven’t seen an Icelandic sweater, look up a picture. They are beautiful and warm, a little scratchy, but totally worth it! This morning we went on a boating adventure to the puffin islands for a morning of birding. They are very interesting birds, and they are very bad at flying. They are too…

I have a friend back home that consistently teases me for my choice in footwear. He stresses that I need to wear “real shoes” not my pretty little flats or sandals that aren’t always the most practical. Today is one of those days I wish I had worn real shoes. Today our glass had the…

Where do I begin to describe the magic that is Iceland? I feel like I am living in a fairytale. The landscape surrounding the city is breath taking. I knew I would like this place, but the fact that they had dishes of salmon at the hotel breakfast buffet took it to a whole new…

The next leg of my adventure began today. I made it safe and sound to Iceland, and I hate the fact that I only have less than a week in this beautiful little country. My apartment in Copenhagen is filled with students from four different classes, and every class is going on a different trip…
