Hello! I made it to Copenhagen! I'm so excited. I'm in Copenhagen for a long weekend. It is currently Thursday night, and I'm about to get ready and go to an Olivia Dean concert, which is crazy! I'm quickly going to eat some Thai food that I picked up from a restaurant nearby, and then get changed and then go to the concert!

As you saw, I went to the Olivia Dean concert, and it was amazing. I think I discovered Olivia Dean in 2024 or 2023, and I immediately became obsessed with her.

And then when the album 'The Art of Loving' came out, it was around the time I was moving to Spain and I really just associate that album with my moving to Spain and with all of the ups and downs of living in a foreign country. It was definitely a "pinch-me" moment, just being there

And then when the album 'The Art of Loving' came out, it was around the time I was moving to Spain, and I really just associate that album with my moving to Spain and with all of the ups and downs of living in a foreign country. It was definitely a "pinch-me" moment, just being there and hearing the album that was there for me when I was going through some of my lowest moments, and to now be at such a different stage in my chapter abroad where I feel a lot more secure in where I'm at. And it's so amazing that this album has kind of traveled with me as I've progressed in my journey of self-discovery and finding and navigating my life here.

I was walking over to Langelinie Park because I've heard so many good things about it, but then when I was walking, I saw this really plush, luscious looking patch of grass in the most bright clearing I've ever seen, and it was just calling my name. It's right by this really serene lake, and it has all these trees that are decorated throughout. I'm going to read my book and drink my coffee and soak up the sun before it sets. Maybe later I will go to Langelinie, but for now, I'm really just enjoying being here in the sun. And then, I made a friend!

She took a video of me. We started talking, and she's here for the weekend visiting from Italy, and I'm here visiting from Spain, so we decided to hang out either today or some other time this weekend, but I feel like it's so cool making little friends like this.

I just got back from the grocery store. I'm trying to save some money on this trip, which is why I got some groceries, just so I'm not eating out three times a day, or maybe four if you include an afternoon pastry. I want to show you quickly what I got. I got some wine, so I can save money on drinks. I also got this Greek yogurt, it's Thise Greek Yogurt. I only got one because I live so close to the grocery store, so if I like this one, I will get it again tomorrow, but if I don't, I'll try something new. And then to go with the Greek yogurt, I got some blueberries and, I know what you're going to think, "This is humongous!" but I got this really delicious looking granola that has dark chocolate, bananas, nuts, and oats, and it's a big bag, but I figured I can always bring it back with me to Spain. And then for a lunch, I got this really delicious looking salad which has noodles and apples and tomatoes and goat cheese. And lastly, the thing I'm most excited about is I got these True Dates. They have so many different flavor options. The ones I picked up are creamy peanut butter because that just sounds delicious, so I kind of want to try one right now just because I'm very curious.

Oh, woah! They look crazy! They're like white and brown, I don't even know. But okay, let's try it.

Honestly, I would repurchase. However, I will say, I think just normal Medjool dates with peanut butter in it taste better than this, because this is like attempting to be that, but it's just like not quite as good. So, I think if you have more time, definitely opt for the dates and peanut butter yourself, but if you are lazy and don't want to do that, this is honestly a pretty good alternative.

It is raining pretty intensely right now, and I kind of like it because yesterday was like my sunny day, today's the rainy day, and then tomorrow is also sunny. So it's like a nice sandwich of all the weather combos. But thankfully, the Airbnb host does have an umbrella. It is right here. Because I didn't pack one for sure, so she has one and it matches my outfit, so very cute! I'm about to head out to get breakfast, and then I want to look for a stationery shop because I really want to write letters to my friends and colleagues, and I feel like Copenhagen would have really cute cards. So, let's go do that.

You don't know this, but I fully just took like a two-hour nap... I was tired! I'm going to make some lunch. I'm going to make that salad I had yesterday. And I also stopped at Hart Bakery and like preemptively knew that I was going to want coffee later, so I picked up a cortado.

I normally don't get cortados, but I was feeling like switching it up a little bit. And I got a vanilla cardamom bun? Vanilla cardamom soft bun. And then from Muji, I just picked up pretty basic white cardstock so I can write little notes to my friends, and then just white envelopes.

And then, the thing I'm most excited about is they have their pens, and I feel like obviously we all know their pens are good, but I didn't know they had their black pen in 0.3. I saw it in 0.38 before but never in 0.3. And it's like a click one, which I think that sound is so satisfying.

I am going to get drinks with this girl I met yesterday, so that is like at five or six PM. We haven't decided yet on where to go, but I'm quickly going to eat and get ready for that, and it should be fun.

Speaker A
I thought I was going to like this vanilla cardamom bun more than I do, but I actually don't. I feel like it just tastes like bread with the smallest hint of cardamom and vanilla. My yogurt bowl on the other hand is ten out of ten, I am obsessed with that yogurt bowl.
