    August 7, 2018 /

    Alice Logan, University of Copenhagen, English Literature and American Studies Firstly, as a disclaimer we all know that Copenhagen is an insanely expensive city to live in, however having spent five months there I did find some handy ways to save some pennies for summer travelling ☀️

    Coming home

    July 12, 2018 /

    Alice Logan, University of Copenhagen, English and American Studies My time in Copenhagen finally came to an end in the last week of June and it’s taken me a while to fully reflect on my experience there.  Never in a million years did I think that I would feel like I’d truly lived in Denmark or that I’d miss it after coming home, but that’s exactly what has happened.

    Copenhagen Coffee Culture

    May 24, 2018 /

    Alice Logan, English and American Studies, University of Copenhagen   Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world and after exploring Copenhagen one coffee shop at a time, I can see why!  Below are a few of my absolute favourite coffee shops… 42Raw Pilestræde 32, 1112 København Tucked away down an unassuming side street just off Norreport station you’ll find 42Raw, one of Copenhagen’s plant based coffee shops.  Their expansive menu ranges from açai bowls and raw smoothies to lentil burgers and peanut butter milkshakes.  Try the raw chocolate chip cookies and the beetroot latte for a light snack or the vegan lasagnaee which is life changing.

    Studying Scandinavian Style

    April 9, 2018 /

    Alice Logan, English Literature and American Studies, University of Copenhagen After completing the first half of my semester abroad I thought I’d do a blog post on the differences between studying in England vs Copenhagen, as the scandi culture seems to have a massive influence on the way that the Danes study and has changed my approach to studying.

    Two Weeks in Copenhagen

    February 8, 2018 /

    Alice Logan, English Literature and American Studies, Univeristy of Copenhagen After just two weeks in Copenhagen, I already feel at home in this beautiful city and am slowly acclimatising to the depths of Danish winter.   I defy anyone to not have positive first impressions of this incredible city.  Copenhagen boasts beautiful architecture, both modern and Renaissance, canals to rival Amsterdam, a multitude of ornate gardens and the most beautiful harbour that’s so colourful it can cheer you up even when the sky is grey (which it is 90% of the time).
