I saw a lot of Denmark when I was studying in Aarhus, and I also took a quick trip to Germany when my class ended! I spent three days exploring Hamburg, and it was such a great city to see for my first time in Germany. I think tours are the best way to see […]

This post is a little different because it’s a guest post- written by my mom! My parents got me hooked on traveling as a kid, and I got my mom hooked on photography. We took a girl’s trip to the New Orleans last year and took tons of photos between us! My mom recently took […]

While I was studying in Aarhus, Denmark, I took a lot of awesome day trips from Aarhus, and Samsø had been at the top of my list of places to visit for a while. But it was too complicated and far away to make it a day trip, so I used it to break up […]

During my visit to Samsø, I stayed in Besser and took a day trip up to Nordby. It was chilly and rained the ENTIRE time I was there, but Nordby, Samsø was so pretty, even covered in puddles! Half-timbered houses in Denmark are my favorite kind of houses, and Nordby had more than enough for […]

If you’ve been following my journey studying in Aarhus, Denmark, we’re coming to the end! I took a lot of amazing day trips from Aarhus over the summer, and I knew I wanted to visit the island of Samsø but it was too complicated and far away to make it a day trip. So I […]

Skagen, Denmark might be a small town, but you may have heard of it! The Skagen watch company was named for the town (and I actually have a Skagen watch!), and it’s the place where the two seas meet in Denmark. I had seen photos of the seas meeting before and was dying to see […]

Jelling might be the most historically significant place in Denmark, but Ribe is the oldest town in Denmark! It dates back to the Viking Age (so of course I loved it) so there are archaeological digs and historic spots, but it’s also a pretty town with beautiful churches and walking streets! 🙂 History of Ribe, […]

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 […]
