Lessons from the Road
As I sit down to reflect on my time studying abroad, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the countless lessons and experiences that have shaped my journey. From the moment I stepped foot in a foreign land, I knew that this adventure would be about much more than academics—it would be a transformative exploration of…

Festival Season
One of the coolest things I experienced from my time here was the diverse and constant mix of festivals that I had the chance to attend. But I don’t mean the Danish festivals like Fastelavn and the Great Prayer Day, which I only heard about during class. I’m talking about things like the Adventure Festival,…

The polar plunge
It’s ironic to be writing about my cold experience, especially when my last post was all about the warm sunshine. But the polar plunge, the winter bath – whatever you want to call it – is an experience unlike any other. Let me set the scene. It was pitch dark – closing hours at the…

Solskin
As the morning sun breaks out over the outcropping, a creature emerges from its lair. The sunlight has a transformative effect, bringing it to life in a way that only the warmth of the sun can. Its eyes, previously half-closed in slumber, open wide as it takes in the world around it. Its movements, before…

Canals and Bicycles
I hate admitting I’m wrong. In my first blog, I called Copenhagen the city of canals and bicycles (and perhaps bicycles in the canals). How young and foolish I was. This past weekend, I had the chance to visit one of my close friends from college in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. Now this…

The Long Study Tour
I sit here in Terminal 1 of Lisbon’s airport, rounding off one of the best weeks of my entire life (and easily my favorite destination in the entire world). Welcome to my chronicle of my Long Study Tour – DIS Abroad’s magnum opus, and the source of some of my now-favorite memories. Through my Medical…

The Swiss (chocolate, cheese, watches, etc.)
This post is an ode to the beautiful country of Switzerland. I’m sure you’ve all heard about how beautiful and amazing this country is. It’s all justified, all true, and no matter the season, weather, or time of day, I guarantee you will be struck dumb by the awesome sight of these mountains soaring high…

Europe
It’s been a bit of time since I’ve posted here. The last few weeks have been incredibly busy with traveling and being out and about, but I’m glad to be back in Copenhagen and at home, and to be able to sit down and talk about what just happened. So, a bit of background. DIS…

The roots
The calendar guided my days this week. I think I’ve been pretty immersed in the experience of living in Copenhagen, although I’ve only just started to explore the extensive cafe culture here. But this week, I was jarred back into remembering that I am still American. The onset of the Super Bowl last week and…

Coming home for the first time.
Wow. It’s been some time since I’ve last written here – about two weeks, actually. In that time, it’s been a whirlwind of activity – settling into classes, meeting new friends, exploring the beautiful city of Copenhagen, traveling around Denmark, trying new foods, calling my friends and family and keeping them updated on my doings…
