Denmark and Sweden. #CantStopWontStop

We have landed!


        So after a short 3 day "break," back in Leuven, Chloe and I packed our bags again and hopped on a flight to Copenhagen, Denmark. I had heard wonderful things about this city, and I wanted to see them for myself! I was very excited because Hans Christian Anderson is from Copenhagen, and I am all about a magical setting!  #DisneyLover


The Little Mermaid and I!
(Or the Den lille havfrue, as it is in Danish)

There was just a wonder feel of fantasy as you walked around the city. There were so many statues of fairies, and so many beautiful flowers in bloom. I really had a smile on my face the whole weekend.
Just magical!

Pit stop at the Carlsberg Brewery? I think yes. 

We had a jam-packed day, so after the brewery we headed over to the Tivoli Gardens, or how many locals call it "The Disneyland of Denmark."
There I am outside of the Tivoli Gardens!


So we stayed with my friend Julie, who is spending the semester in Copenhagen. She was off traveling for most of the weekend, but she let us know that Sweden was only a 30 minute train-ride away...so we had to make a day-trip! Did you know that Sweden is where IKEA and H&M all started? Those Swedish don't mess around!
Having some fun outside an authentic Swedish IKEA!

Swedish meatballs? Yes, please.
Oh look! H & M!
Malmo, Sweden
So many lovely flowers!
Back to the airport for a cozy night to catch our 6am flight back to Brussels!

           Denmark and Sweden were absolutely wonderful! Chloe and I had a great weekend, but the time had come for us to head home. This is even meant to be taken literally for me, because I am heading back to the states for 10 days to attend my favorite 8 year olds communion! Can't wait to see the fam!
