Travel break!

I finished up with my first class last wednesday and didn't begin my second until the next monday at 1:30pm. So a few friends and I decided to travel to Paris and Amsterdam. We departed from Copenhagen via plane on wednesday night to Paris. The next day was full of tours and exploring the city. Paris is a very different city than Copenhagen. It's much more touristy and crowded. However, being surrounded by all the culture and art definitely made it an amazing visit.
On Saturday morning we traveled to Amsterdam on a high speed train. It only took three hours and we were in the heart of the city by 10:00am. I loved Amsterdam! The people were so friendly and welcoming. Also, the city is so unique. Unlike anything I have seen before. After two short days we boarded a night train to travel back to Copenhagen.
This travel break was absolutely amazing and I learned a lot. I am traveling for a 8 days after my program ends and I can't wait to see more amazing cities and experience the cultures.

Like I said before I just began my new class. It's positive psychology and I am loving it! It focuses on being positive and how this can affect your life. We have only had three classes but I can tell its going to be an amazing class.

Time for some photos!

Adventure trip: Southern Sweden

This past weekend I was able to go on an adventure tour through DIS to Southern Sweden. It has absolutely been my favorite experience thus far.

The itinerary for the trip:

Approx. 10:00am - Canoeing down Ronnea River

13:00 - Docking of the Canoes

13:30 - Departure for Hostel 

14:15 - Arrival and Lunch at the Hostel (The Hostel was so pretty and nice. You couldn't even wear shoes inside! And the food was delicious!)

15:15 - Departure by bus to Himmelstorpsgarden

15:30 - Hiking to Nimis (Nimis is a maze like massive sculpture created by an artist who wished to start his own country, it is now it's own nation of Ladonia)
