Goodbye Denmark, I'll miss you

This is a very sad day for me. It's my last night in Copenhagen. My last night in the city that I have fallen madly in love with. And this is my goodbye.

I've learned so much about life, culture, and myself on this trip. I have gained so much self confidence and have learned to trust my instincts. From learning how to pack for a weekend in just a backpack to learning how to navigate a country where I don't speak the language, I have gained so many important skills and learned lessons that I'll carry with me for my entire life.

As my final post, I've decided to make a list of the things that I'll miss the most about Copenhagen.
1. The buildings - The builings in Copenhagen are usually at most 4 stories, so you can see the city skyline from almost anywhere. They also have the most adorable architecture and are extremely colorful. I love it
2. The tattoo culture - I'll really miss seeing so many incredible sleeve pieces
3. The dogs - I love seeing them off the leashes
4. Always having something new to do; I have never felt truly bored
5. Accessibility to other countries and being able to hop on a train and be in a new city
6. The beautiful canals that are all over this city
7. The parks - The Danes make such wonderful use of green space. I'll really miss being able to sit out in a park with a beer and a good book.
8. The weather - Copenhagen summer has felt like Indiana spring. Although it is a bit moody and unpredictable in terms of rain, sunny days are so perfect: 70 degrees Fahrenheit with a slight breeze. The perfect time to sit in one of those parks.
9. The fact that you shop for a meal on the day that you plan on making it instead of buying lots of stuff in one trip to the store. The store is a short walk away so it makes it super easy. I also love that everyone uses the reusable grocery bags, and are heavily encouraged to because the store charges per plastic bag; it saves a lot of waste.
10. The walkability of the city. My calves have gotten so toned because I love just walking around the city! It honestly feels like a small town, with its narrow cobbled roads and the short buildings. It's so perfect.

I love this city so much, and leaving it makes me sad. This day is of mixed feelings; I can't wait to see my loved ones, but I wish I could just bring them all here!

I know I will come back to Denmark someday. I'm determined to. Until then, goodbye Copenhagen, and thank you for the life-changing experience.
