“Where are you studying abroad?”
The first question many students are asked when announcing plans spend a semester overseas. The short answer, for me, was Copenhagen. I wanted to immerse myself in the history of the Vikings, which I had never previously studied in classes back in the U.S. I wanted to navigate my way through the colorful buildings on cobblestone streets, which I would eventually learn to tackle without twisting an ankle; to find a favorite coffee shop for writing papers. I wanted to explore the castles in and around the city, to embrace my inner seven year old at Tivoli, the second oldest amusement park in the world, and to stroll along the canal at Nyhavn, past the apartment where Hans Christian Andersen once lived. My city of choice was Copenhagen, but the answer to their question is really much less concrete. While my home base was a big apartment in the city center, my semester was spent exploring and studying in cities all over Europe.
