Almost time to go!

Packing light

I wish I could claim this is some kind of quest for minimalism, but really I’m just too stingy to splash out for the extra baggage allowance. I mean one bag for a semester wouldn’t be too bad, but my single bag isn’t just for my semester abroad. It’s covering me for 8 months, 4 continents, and 4 vastly different seasons. Which means the space left for Copenhagen clothing could fit into hand luggage. So sorry in advance if I’m wearing the same outfit in every single photo I post.

Google mapping my housing

I was super excited to find out I’ll be living in the Outdoor LCC and equally stoked to find it was in a pretty cool location (based on the satellite image from google maps).

Crossfit (maybe)

So a while back I signed up for a competition for two free months membership at a Copenhagen crossfit gym and ended up getting it! But I also had to accept to a whole lot of Danish terms and conditions that weren’t processed too well by google translate so I’ll let you know how that turns out.

Learning Danish! (not really)

Despite constantly hearing that almost everyone speaks English, I thought I should give learning the language a shot. My first idea was to head to Netflix and find a Danish series (with English subtitles, of course), which ended up with me binge watching a hilarious show called “Rita”. But I’ll be honest, the only word I understood throughout the entire show was Hej. After that fun failure I decided to put my faith in Duolingo, and it turns out that if you want to learn how to talk about turtles drinking milk that’s the place to go. So after officially learning roughly five words I think I’m ready to start my Danish Language and Culture class!
