A few of the things I love about Copenhagen

KU

I still remember how stunned I was the first time I biked through København Universitet (also known as KU). Now even after a month of taking classes on KU’s South Campus I’m still in awe of its beautiful and distinct architecture. For anyone who has the chance, I would definitely recommend checking it out!

Too Good To Go

I actually managed to get a bit of a reputation in my apartment for my obsession with this one. Copenhagen food tends to be expensive, which is a shame cause I love food. And this is where Too Good To Go comes in. The concept is an innovative Danish app that allows restaurants, cafes, and even supermarkets to sell off excess stock that would otherwise go to waste at extremely low prices. For example, guess how much the feast in the photo below cost (there was also more but we’d already eaten it).

39 DKK, which is less than 6 USD. For Copenhagen that’s a steal! I’ve also scored great deals from Espresso House, Cafe Phoenix, and even the famous Mad & Kaffe.

Biking

Not gonna lie, I really didn’t think I’d like biking to my 8:30 AMs. Not because I don’t like biking itself, but more because exposing myself to the elements first thing in the morning is generally pretty low on my list. But it turns out I love it! First of all, it pretty much does the job of a morning coffee by waking me up, but it also warms me up and gives me a great chance to catch up with whoever I happen to end up biking next to. The other bonus? It somewhat helps cancel out all the waffles and gelato I “just have to try” every weekend I travel to a new place.

Candles

I don’t have much to say here, but sometimes it’s just really nice to catch a glimpse of the Danes candlelit dinners when walking home at night.

I’d love to have a few candles in my Copenhagen apartment, but we’d probably end up accidentally burning the place down.
