Ever since school got busier, I found it hard to set aside time for myself; let alone time for my creative writing. I took the opportunity of being abroad and traveling to start working on my personal writing. Looking back, I’m really grateful that I worked on this blog and that I’ve created a record of my time that I can look back on in five, ten, even twenty years later.
This past spring, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Copenhagen and started a travel blog as part of their student media team. “Goodbye, Copenhagen” is my farewell piece!
