Paris in two days: Day Two

When I decided to take a solo trip to Paris, I had a day like last Sunday in mind... I wanted to walk through art museums, through gardens and old streets. I wanted to sit at cafes (alone of course... but that's the fun of it) and go wherever the heck I wanted to go, …

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 …

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 …

The Netherlands: Day Four

On Wednesday, we left Amsterdam 😢 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A truly tasty weekend

This past weekend was filled with food of all kinds. It was such a glorious time. In the span of 48 hours, I consumed more delicious dishes than I think I've ever done before. I ate a few healthy things, but there were also plenty of delicious carbs involved. My taste buds and my foodstagram …

Ondsdag is the Best Day… PART 2

I could really get used to not having to go to class on Wednesdays. It's really great having a little mini-weekend in between your other classes. Maybe I'll attempt to recreate this when I get back to the states. Since last "Ondsdag" was so awesome, I decided to go out and explore some more this week! …

A Designer’s Guide to Western Denmark

This week, I learned that there is so much more to Denmark than Copenhagen. I traveled far and wide (sort of) and gathered so much inspiration along the way! All DIS students are required to embark on a 3-4 day short study tour with their core course during the beginning of their semester. The Graphic …

Ondsdag is the Best Day

Today was a great day! While I do admit, I'd like to start branching away from the inner city area of Copenhagen (where I live) because it's pretty much swarming with tourists and everything is super overpriced, I was able to cross 3 things off of my bucket list today, without having to stray too …

Four hours in Helsingør

Determined to expand my horizons and explore a little bit out of Copenhagen, three other friends and I took a train to the port city of Helsingør (Elsinore in English) yesterday. I'm not the biggest Shakespeare fan (sorry, high school English teachers) but if I had to choose one of his plays that I enjoyed the …
