This past weekend, I traveled to Vienna, Austria. I had planned this trip before I even got to Copenhagen (something I do not recommend!!!)(I worked out all the details after the program at DIS started). This trip was emotional and short, but I am so happy I got to go. My great grandfather had lived… Continue reading Vienna
Greenland in words
DISCLAIMER: I will not be writing about the social aspect of my trip to Greenland. That will be in another post when I synthesize those feelings into coherent words. It's been difficult to find words that feel right to describe my long study tour. In my Russian tutoring session today I broke it down to… Continue reading Greenland in words

The ethics of a kingdom
Denmark is a kingdom, it has a functioning monarchy- except if the queen disagrees with parliament, she has to resign. Greenland exists under the kingdom of Denmark, which is a way of saying "we tell Greenland what to do and think that we own this land" without making yourself feel bad. A few weeks ago,… Continue reading The ethics of a kingdom

Self Care abroad

“Are there ticks in Denmark?”: short study tour day one
On my short study tour for Ice Cores and Ice Ages we traveled to Stevns, Denmark to see the chalk cliffs and a Cold War museum. The entire landscape on the way was gorgeous but the cliffs were literally breathtaking. We took a little hike down and around the cliffs to see the KT Boundary;… Continue reading “Are there ticks in Denmark?”: short study tour day one
A whole bag of Oranges
How to be sick abroad Being sick at home is not fun but being sick abroad is even less fun. I wasn't homesick until this week when I was sitting in class only wanting to be home in the States with my dog. If you're like me, you get sick every fall no matter what… Continue reading A whole bag of Oranges
Hej Danmark! 🇩🇰
Finally I am here in DK! It's still so surreal. I had not slept for over 24 hours when I finally landed in Copenhagen and I was very very tired, but my host dad came to pick me up and we went to my new home. This country is so beautiful and my mouth was… Continue reading Hej Danmark! 🇩🇰
