Hello all!
My last few days have been a whirlwind. On August 13, I set off on the beginning of my adventure, flying first into London. This city, while incredibly busy, was so full of life and culture.
This past summer, I visited New York City. After that trip, I realized why people say America is a melting pot; but, in London, there really are people from anywhere and everywhere all in one place. It’s incredible to see the different cultures all coming together. It’s also very humbling to realize how small your own culture is when there are so many others out there. Makes me very excited to be in a new place experiencing a new culture!
While in London, we didn’t have much free time between flights, but we did get to do a bit of sightseeing. The photo below is my view from the London Eye (a huge observation wheel that gives a stunning view over the city).
All I can say about this is: wow. Incredible sights of an incredible city.
Unfortunately, a key piece to the London skyline- Big Ben- was under construction. So, while we didn’t get to see that, we did stop by Westminster Abbey and, of course, had to take that ever-classic telephone booth photo.
While our stay was only a couple of days, it was a great glimpse into the buzzing city of London. I look forward to visiting this town more later on!
Earlier this morning, we hopped on a plane and completed the journey to Copenhagen. I have since moved into my apartment and explored a bit of the city around me. I am so very excited to really experience the Danish culture over the next several months. It’s a bit intimidating to be in a completely strange place with no previous connections, but it’s really an opportunity for me to break out in new ways. Photo below is the building I am living in.
Here goes the beginning of a crazy new adventure!
Stay tuned ’til next week for more details about my first week here in Copenhagen. (:
