copenhagen diaries: day one

It's the next day and we wake up around 8am. It's a bliss to have slept for almost eight hours. A cup of freshly grounded coffee and the idea of having breakfast at Groed's makes me instantly believe that it's going to be a good day. Oh, and hey - the sun is peeking through the dramatic clouds. Could it get any better?

the best porridge place on earth - grød

Before I write all about the precious time I had in Denmark's capital, I decided to share a very special place with you. As you may or may not know, I'm a big porridge person. I mean, is there any better way of starting off your day than with a bowl of warm and delicious porridge? I don't think so.

a day trip to malmo

If you told me a year ago that I would go to Scandinavia, I would have never believed you. It was my ultimate dream destination and to be honest, I don't even know why. There's just something very different and interesting at the same time to this particular part of Europe: history, culture, languages. (and well, I feel like I need to mention Vikings here as I'm a history geek like that) This trip taught me many things about Denmark, things that actually made me fall for this country. Now I'm 100% sure that it is the perfect place for me to live in the near future. (I'm even willing to pay that horrendous 36% tax)


On 27th (our first full day in Scandinavia) we decided to go to Malmo as it's a stone's throw from Copenhagen. I was really excited as I didn't know what to expect...
