Tivoli: Copenhagen’s own Halloweentown

Yesterday, I experienced the magic that was Tivoli Gardens, the second-oldest amusement park in the world. It's 173-years-old, which is older than a lot of things: -Pasteurized milk (invented in 1864) -Toilet paper (invented in 1878) -The zipper (invented in 1891) -Tea bags (invented in 1904) This park's age doesn't take away from its allure. … Continue reading Tivoli: Copenhagen’s own Halloweentown

The Netherlands: Day Six

And here we are... the last day of my study tour... it's really been an adventure! Today I experienced a few "firsts", which I guess should be expected when you're traveling. I guess I didn't have the highest expectations for the final day of my study tour, but today was pretty exciting! The first of … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Six

The Netherlands: Day Five

Today was our first day in the city of Rotterdam! We luckily were able to sleep in a little bit more today, leading to a much more energetic, happier me. To make the morning even better, the hotel's continental breakfast was absolutely fantastic. There were so many delicious options. This picture of my plate only … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Five

The Netherlands: Day Four

On Wednesday, we left Amsterdam ðŸ˜¢ I really wish I had been able to spend a little more time there. I was able to explore a little bit without the entire tour group, but not nearly enough to say that I have seen it all. There were a few tourist attractions like the red light district and … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Four

The Netherlands: Day Three

I'd like to say that I've been busy the past two days doing all sorts of things that would keep me from writing this post, but in truth, I've mainly been chilling out and enjoying myself back in Copenhagen. It's been nice... I've been doing yoga, cooking some soup, wandering around fancy department stores and … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Three

The Netherlands: Day Two

Monday was a super touristy day, but I'm really not complaining. To be honest, I LOVE being in a tour group every once in a while. I'm not a fan of being taken to all the worst tourist traps that cater to gullible Americans, but I'm a big fan of not having to stress about … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Two

The Netherlands: Day One

As I begin this post, it's 10:00 on a Tuesday night and I'm exhausted. The past three days have been jam-packed with so much activity, I'm not exaggerating when I say that I haven't taken a real break until now. As I'm lying alone in my hotel room, exhausted and ready to crash, I've come … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day One

A little more Danish Culture

If you've read any of my other blog posts, you'd know that I've been traveling around Denmark a bit, exploring Copenhagen and eating so, so much delicious food. I've been having so much fun on these adventures with my friends, but up until yesterday, there was something missing... I wasn't meeting any Danes! One thing … Continue reading A little more Danish Culture
