Berlin, the “Grey City”

Since I used up the max. character count in my Insta post, I thought I’d share my L5 here. Liked: I love war history, so walking through this infamous city is intriguing and eerie.  Loathed: The German stare. They look at you blankly with no expression and hold that gaze. You don’t know if they like you, or hate you but they are definitely judging you in one way or another…Germans.   Laughed: Kinnon and I are playing catch in...

Copenhagen, Denmark: Tivoli Park

Copenhagen was great it had so much stuff to do and was fun! Our apartment was nice the people there were nice and it was all so pretty. Denmark is for sure the top 3 out of my whole list.

When me and my dad were playing catch I got so wet by diving...

Home is Where the Hygge is: Copenhagen

You don’t know how much of an impact your place of residence, even if temporary has on you, your feelings, emotions and well-being. We have stayed in several Airbnb, hotels and homes away from home long before this adventure, but the one difference was, that we had a home to go back to. Not having a home with all the comforts it provides, is unsettling. We miss our beds, pillows and blankets, our rooms of retreat and quiet we each...
