walking on sunshine...?

6 hours to london...

10 hours waiting in london...

2 hours to copenhagen...

i'm finally here!
... on the coldest and gloomiest day in copenhagen :(

it makes me wonder why i left pittsburgh for a european replica...

...two words: host family ♥

why my host family is amazing:

1. they recognized me at first sight... saving us the awkwardness of staring at each other wondering if i was her and they were them

2. they walked me to my classrooms... which was out of the way, 15 miles away from their home, in freezing cold windy weather

3. they want to play american taboo... regardless of the fact that danish taboo exists and english is not their native language

4. they gave me a bike to ride... and spent hours fixing the broken lights and readjusting the seat height for tiny little me

5. they tried to teach me danish... epic fail

6. they are design-forward

7. they will show me traditional danish life... although they are not typical danes and eat thai chicken curry for dinner

8. they scoped out every korean restaurant in copenhagen... there are three!!!

9. they picked out posters for my room but waited for me to put it up together

10. they want to make me a dance room... hahaha

11. they color coded which towels everyone use

12. they want to make me a dog tag with our home address... in case i get lost

13. they always wait for everyone at the table before eating

14. mom cooks, dad & son do the dishes

15. we sit, drink tea & eat biscuits, listen to bloodhound gang and the beatles... lol

an otherwise gray and gloomy day, my host family brought out the sunshine today :)

and my favorite part about travelling is... foreign currencie$$$! so pretty ♥
