Hej!
As of today, I have forty days left in Europe! It’s so crazy to think about how quickly time went and how much I wish I could extend my time here. April was absolutely crazy for me. I had two finals for my Quarter 3 classes and am officially half way done with my classes at CBS! My Quarter 4 Financial Accounting class (ACCT 328) just started this month and I’m pretty sure I’m the only American in the class. Every time I walk into class, I have yet to hear anyone speak english (besides the teacher), so that’s been pretty interesting. I’m determined to make some danish friends, but I’m also really intimidated by them, but I’ll keep you guys updated.
After I finished my two finals (which were written essays), I traveled for three weeks nonstop! I went to Riga (Latvia), Tallin (Estonia), Vienna (Austria), Prague (Czech Republic), Krakow (Poland), Italy (again), and Malta! Really broke the bank account this month.. but so worth it!
Riga and Tallin were really random places to hit, but when in Europe, why not?

Then it was Easter break, so me and some girls went to Vienna and Prague. Since it was Easter, flights were CRAZY expensive, so we decided to take an overnight bus from Copenhagen to Vienna. (18 hours) Another bus from Vienna to Prague. (4 hours) And the last bus from Prague back to Cope. (14 hours) I highly recommend not doing that. I was so sleep deprived and my body ached from sitting for so long. But Prague had Easter markets and it was amazing! Prague has become one of my favorite cities that I’ve hit thus far.

Then I went to Krakow to visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp. The moment I found out I would be studying abroad in Europe, I knew there was no way I wouldn’t make it out to the concentration camp. It was a really incredible tour to experience.
Then me and my friend went to Italy and we did the Sentierro Azurro hike. It’s a hike along Cinque Terre. It’s a 12 mile hike and you hit all five towns of Cinque Terre, absolutely incredible! I highly recommend the hike to anyone who visits Cinque Terre. One of my favorite memories from study broad so far.
after Italy, we headed to Malta. We visited the islands of Gozo and Comino. And boy was it beautiful. The water is so clear and blue, it looks like a photo straight out of a magazine. I am definitely going to have to make it back to Malta.
and now I’m off to catch up on some accounting…
