Almost three months ago from today I finished my first semester with DIS. My memories from Copenhagen in the fall are dazzling: I had an incredible core course, I was lucky enough to travel with some of my best friends, and in just twenty-four hours I fell completely in love with the city. But throughoutContinue reading “From Nimbus To Nærum: My Transition to a Homestay”

8 Museums, 5 cities, 310 miles later: My Core Course Week
Art, culture, exploration, street food, and scratch-and-sniff exhibitions: welcome to the Spring 2020 Graphic Design Foundations Core Course Week. As with most things design, our week was a well-structured, diverse amalgamation of things, beautiful in its entirety and delightful in details. We started our week in Copenhagen with the other design classes, getting to knowContinue reading “8 Museums, 5 cities, 310 miles later: My Core Course Week”
The Pups of Copenhagen (Part 2)
I may or may not have a problem with dogs. Kind of like when a dog sees a squirrel and it totally zeros in on its target, every time I see a dog my brain goes completely blank and all I can see is cuteness and fluff and paws and eyes of love. Which bringsContinue reading “The Pups of Copenhagen (Part 2)”
Why I Decided On A Full Year With DIS
Hey there, welcome back to my Danish blog of deserts, photos, and dogs! When I started this blog in August I intended to document my fall semester with DIS, and rightfully named it 120 Days in Denmark. Well, I’m here to tell you that title is somewhat false. In reality, I’m actually spending my entireContinue reading “Why I Decided On A Full Year With DIS”
155,520 Minutes Later… in Fuji Film
Last Thursday I had a (crazy) reality check from my Travel Writing professor: “Wow… 105 days ago we were all sitting in this classroom for the first time, just getting to know each others names.” 105 days! That makes for 151,200 minutes, and, by the time I’m writing this blog post, that metric has evenContinue reading “155,520 Minutes Later… in Fuji Film”
Calling Copenhagen Home with Fuji Film
With only three Fridays left in Copenhagen, the pressure is mounting to explore anything and everything. A lot of my conversations have gone like this: what, there’s another Christmas market? Okay let’s do it. Bakery 45 minutes away? Already on my way. In other words, my motivation to fall in love with Copenhagen and callContinue reading “Calling Copenhagen Home with Fuji Film”
A Day in Pictures: Monday
I live my life through documentation. For me, it’s not enough to live through a moment; I have to feel it, remember it, and keep it safe in my little memory box (aka my phone) for the rest of time. Is that a little dramatic? Perhaps. But let me be honest with you: in justContinue reading “A Day in Pictures: Monday”
Fuji Film Friday- 4 countries later!
Hey Fuji Film Friday, its been a minute. Since I last posted a polaroid update I’ve been pretty busy: I’ve stepped foot in four different countries, lost my phone, and taken over 5,000 photos. I feel like I’ve lived five lifetimes in the last two weeks and all I have to show for it areContinue reading “Fuji Film Friday- 4 countries later!”
Accepting the Moments Beyond My Instagram
I’m writing to you live from my cozy bed on Wednesday, November 13 (or, as the Danes would say, the fourth day of week 46), ready to get serious about something near and dear to my heart: the wonderful world of Instagram. These past three months have been jam-packed with adventures and profound beauty, andContinue reading “Accepting the Moments Beyond My Instagram”
Film Friday back in CPH
Another week has come and gone in the flash of a camera shutter, so it is only right that I only have polaroids to show for it. Before I came to Copenhagen, I remember looking at the DIS semester calendar thinking “huh, I can do this! A week of travel here, a week of chillingContinue reading “Film Friday back in CPH”
