A trip to Helsingør
Although Denmark is a small country compared to the US, it is very rich in culture and history. Recently, I was able to make a trip to Helsingør. This is a port in Eastern Denmark and on the other side of the water is Helsingborg Sweden which is only 30 minutes away by ship. Now ...
Winter is coming!
It is that time of year where festivities begin along with the cold weather. The bright sun which isn’t warm, the cold breeze hitting your face and hands, so you always want to put your hands in your pocket, stay in the warmth indoors sipping hot chocolate enjoying the views outdoors, right? Oh, how I ...
The Royal Danes
Like most of the European countries, Denmark also has a king and a queen. Like we all know already, Royal family always have their own palace and army. When we think of a palace, we think of a huge castle guarded by a 10 foot concrete fence and a lot of royal guards. This scenario ...
The “Kid” culture in Denmark
So far, Denmark has shown me a lot of cultures but there is this one thing I can’t wrap my head around. Very literal language, different pronunciation of the same letters, Nordic cultures were very interesting, funny, and easy to understand. However, when it comes to children, rather infants, the culture here is somewhat different. ...
Driverless Metro in Denmark

People are very aware of environmental consequences with modern technology and use sustainable methods as much as possible. Public transportation is thus very frequent and advanced, there ...
Culture of Trust
Most people I know would never ever dream of leaving important things out on the street for anyone to see. When I leave my phone in places, I panic until I have in back in my pocket, even if it was not hidden in a place where someone could easily take it. Now imagine leaving ...
Legoland!
I have never seen the Lego Movie, but I do know that “everything is awesome” and I figured that a place where everything is made from Legos could only be fun. So, when the Aarhus Student house hosted a bus trip to the very first Legoland ever built in Billund, Denmark, I thought it would ...
A Fancy Weekend in London
I had a whole week of from school, so I took advantage and did a bit of solo traveling. I already wrote about some of my time in Berlin, spending it both by myself and meeting up with a friend. After Berlin, I went to London to meet up with some friends because why not? ...
My Potato Holiday in Berlin
In Denmark there is a week in the fall where students get a whole week off from school. It’s called the potato holiday, because back in the day when most people lived on farms, the kids would take the week off from school to help their families bring in the harvest. Nowadays, it is the ...
Skagen: The Northern Most Tip of Denmark
Over the weekend, my friends and I hopped on a bus that took us to the tip of the world – or, at least, the very tip of Denmark. Skagen is a small coastal town at the very north of Denmark. I had heard that it’s very pretty during the summer months and it’s worth ...
