Copenhagen, Denmark is like the Unicorn Capital in Europe 🦄

August 16 & 17, 2023: Touring Copenhagen by foot, bus, & boat. Started out by taking myself on a walking tour, literally getting lost in this city going up and down every street. Emma, a new friend I had just met at the hostel while checking in came along for the journey. We walked over 4km (which I guess is roughly 4 or 5 miles) in a matter of a few hours- stopping many times along the venture to take in the beauty and bustle of this city life. I was nearly killed, 7 or 13 times, by bikers. The amount of bikers here is like nothing I’ve seen in my whole life. There are more people riding bikes than driving cars, that is definitely facts. And they stop for no pedestrian so, take note, if a psychic tells you that your death will be caused by an obscure incident in a foreign country- it’s via a bicycle collisions for certain. Emma, who resides in the US in Hawaii, and I met up later in the evening with Ann-Marie, such a sweetheart from the Netherlands. we drank and laughed and had deep conversations about life and our purpose and existence in general. All agreeing that if we are not truly happy and living our best life, make the changes necessary NOW- because tomorrow is never promised. I have a lot to think about in terms of what I truly want in this life…and those type of conversations are what being back my spark and energy and the general feeling of being grateful for another day. I needed that chat, I needed the human connection with strangers that turn into friends that truly understand and empathize and push your boundaries with their inquisitive questions that you should never stop asking yourself. Sometimes, it’s just moments like that to remind you to be grateful and to LIVE, not simply exist and go about each day robotically and unfulfilled.

The architecture in this city is beyond stunning. The colors, like that of ‘Old Town’ Stockholm, Sweden are vibrant and cheerful. The waterways are under many bridges with boats lining each side.
