I’m a terrible blogger. I am.
I have been on so many trips lately and have taken so
many wonderful pictures, but when it comes to posting about them on the blog, I
always forget. And then time goes by, and it feels stupid to post about a trip
that happened months ago, doesn’t it?
As an avid blog reader, I find that most bloggers that I really like know exactly how to get their voice through to their readers.
However, I never know HOW to do that exactly. Is it because English is my 2nd
language and maybe I should be writing in Spanish? English is the language in
which I watch movies, TV series, and also the language I use to read most of my
books and sometimes… I even dream in English!
Anyway, these are just my thoughts and I just
wanted to thank you guys for sticking with me through all of these ups and
downs.
Right now, I am back in Spain and a week has passed since I was in beautiful Copenhagen. I decided to visit it by myself, so I rented
a room through AirBnB. The apartment was owned by Sara, a girl in her 20s
that was really fun and amazing (too many drinks were had the first night!). I
am so glad I decided to come alone, as I feel I was also more open to knowing
people from Denmark instead of sticking to my travel buddies as you usually do
when you travel with other people.
Also, if you take the plunge, you better have a GoPro + selfie-stick. Best combination for travelling alone and being able to actually appear in your pictures.
The thing about Copenhagen is that it’s too
beautiful not to visit, but then you will never want to leave. Coming from Vienna, I definitely
know what a beautiful city looks like and while they don’t look anything alike,
I am in love with both cities and I feel at home in both of them.
I spent the whole weekend walking around, since
there aren’t many metro stations and you can walk for 30 minutes to get to the
next one. I visited Nyhavn (the famous colourful harbour that is the most
pinterest-y thing of Copenhagen which you can see in the picture above), the Kongen Have, the Little Mermaid (very
symbolic of the city which you can see in the picture below), the Botanic Gardens, etc. But in general, I think
Copenhagen is a city you have to walk around to discover.
However, I was quite bummed out because I
definitely wanted to see the Tivoli (an amazing park which inspired Disney to
create Disneyland!), one of the most important attractions of the city. My
friend Sara told me that I should come again during the summer. It’s the best
time to visit Copenhagen because of the flowers, the warmth, plus more hours of
light… No matter what, I don’t regret coming here in January at all… and I was so lucky because the 1st
morning... it snowed!
I definitely loved this city so if you ever think about coming, maybe do it in June and save a bit because it’s NOT cheap (and least of all for a student)… but definitely worth it!
