I'm a late 20's single female professional and haven't had the chance to travel nearly as much as I would like and especially not internationally. I recently moved to Philadelphia PA US from Syracuse NY US. I have been itching to go on a trip somewhere ANYWHERE now that I'm in a more accessible city.
I have a friend that keeps her eyes peels for super cheap flights to other countries and usually you need to make a decision right then because the deal will be gone. Last night, she sent me a flight deal that I couldn't pass up - $445 for a round trip ticket to Copenhagen!
I know absolutely nothing about Denmark and never even thought of traveling there, but thankfully I have 8 months to learn as much as I can! I will get into CPH on Sat 11/29 and depart back for USA on Wed 12/3. Everyone tells me it will be cold, but I lived in Syracuse for 4.5 years and we get a TON of snow there. I have a new friend here in Philly that actually moved here from Malmo for 6 months and is now relocating to Amsterdam. When I pulled up the map and saw how close Malmo was, I knew I would have to at least spend a day over there as well.
If anyone has suggestions on what to see, please let me know. Like I said, I've got 8 months to plan. I am not into touristy type things though and will likely couch surf or stay at hostels while I'm there. I would much rather hang with locals and see the REAL Copenhagen than just what's in a pretty tourist magazine.
I am beyond excited!!!
