I’m back with another post about Vikings! I’m pretty sure I work them into almost every post I’ve written about Denmark, but this one is different because it’s entirely about Vikings. Jelling, Denmark is one of the most (if not the most) important Viking sites in Denmark. I have been dying to visit for years, […]

During my month in Aarhus, Denmark, I took a lot of day and weekend trips to smaller towns in the area. One of my Danish classmates recommended Ebeltoft, and I think it was my favorite day trip! It was a small town, and I had the whole town to myself on an early Sunday morning. […]

Aarhus, Denmark has some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen! The water turns ten different shades of turquoise, and it stays pretty cool so it’s nice and refreshing on a hot day. People are out sunbathing at the beach and sailing all summer! I got to visit a couple of beaches in Aarhus when […]

Aarhus, Denmark has one of the most interesting “old towns” that I’ve been to because it actually isn’t part of the city. Den Gamle By is considered to be a museum, and it’s a little outside the main part of the city. You do have to pay to enter (but I will talk about a […]

I’ve found the prettiest cobblestone street in Aarhus and maybe even in Denmark! 🙂 When I was exploring downtown Aarhus, I happened to stumble upon Møllestien, a cobblestone street with colorful houses dating from the 18th century. I didn’t see a single person there, so it isn’t a big tourist area, which is perfect for this […]

If you haven’t visited Aarhus, you may have still seen photos of the famous rainbow panorama! The ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum (or ARoS Art Museum) is one of the most interesting museums I’ve been to, and it’s well known for its rainbow you can walk through on the roof. If you’re planning a trip to Aarhus, you […]

If you’ve been keeping up with my adventures, you’ll know that I just spent a month living in Aarhus, Denmark! I was there to take a class on the Viking Age, and while I’ve lived in Copenhagen for a few months, this was my first time in Jutland. Aarhus is the largest city in Jutland […]

In case you couldn’t tell from all my posts, I LOVED spending 3 days in the Faroe Islands and I highly recommend visiting! 🙂 The landscapes were amazing to photograph, and it’s the most remote place I’ve visited so far. I would have stayed for a week (or longer), but we didn’t have that much time […]

If you’ve read my Faroe Islands posts, you probably noticed a lot of photos of sheep. Matt says that I took a photo of every single sheep we saw, and he isn’t joking! I got a little obsessed with taking photos of them because they were just so cute 🙂 So here are 50 photos […]

The Faroe Islands have a famous Hanging Lake (also called Sørvágsvatn or Leitisvatn because there’s a disagreement about the name) near the airport, so Matt and I planned to hike to it before our flight back to Copenhagen. We are NOT expert hikers, so the hike to the Hanging Lake didn’t go quite as planned! […]

After spending the night in Gjógv, Matt and I headed out to Saksun in the morning! It’s a pretty village with historic grass roof houses, tons of sheep (of course!), and a black sand beach in the Faroe Islands! The views were amazing, and it was so quiet and peaceful in Saksun, which made for […]
