practicalities
“march-like” In anticipation of my final wrap-up and reflection post (I know right? Where did the time go!), where I expect to recap semester events and recount lessons learned, I wanted to briefly write about the more “practical” side to study abroad. In other words, tips and tricks to navigating…

netto novelties
“with taste, fitting mood and tempo” Another big adjustment this semester has been keeping up with a healthy lifestyle abroad. At home, the regimen I try to maintain is pretty strict and organized – I am not crazy or over the top with it, but it is definitely a priority…

a visitor’s quick guide
“all together” I have had a lot of fun welcoming family and friends to Copenhagen. Having visitors has tested my navigation around the city with an ability to provide them with educational knowledge related to various monuments and sites around town.

rdam in a nutshell
“at the performer’s liberty – improvisational” By now, I’ve referenced my time at the Royal Danish Academy of Music (RDAM) a ton…but haven’t actually gone into detail about what it has been like – playing my cello here abroad, and everything related to this adjacent/partnered program of DIS.

copenhagen on foot
“at a walking pace” If there is one thing to know about me, it is that I love to walk. It is my preferred method of transportation, my response to any type of stress, a way for me to simultaneously exercise and explore, and quite simply, it is fun! I…

taking a beat
[a point of reflection in an opera (usually) where the singer engages in a free rhythm of the words] Tuesday morning. 8:15am. I swipe what feels like a pound of rain water off my face and from my jacket, ringing out my umbrella atop the stairs leading to the Metro…

core course week
“in a playful manner” Core course week was a resounding success – not only did it provide the learning opportunities I was told to expect, but it was lots of fun and an enjoyable time…hence, “scherzando!” My core course, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, fled our homebase and country borders, traveling thirty-five…
