Let's talk about food budgets! Eating out in Copenhagen is a pricey adventure; a single meal can easily cost over 200 DKK (that's about $30!). Because of that, I've become a master at watching my kroner.
My secret? I'm the king of meal prep! I cook almost all my food at home and pack lunches for the week. That way, when I'm running around the city, I can just grab a homemade meal from the fridge instead of being tempted by expensive cafes.
But I still treat myself! The champion meal this week was a creamy, dreamy risotto I made, with some grilled chicken thrown in for power. It was so good, it definitely beat any restaurant!
My headphones have been working overtime this week with my three favorite albums! When I need to dance around my room or crush a workout, I blast Madonna's Confessions on the Dance Floor. If I'm doing homework and need a creative supercharge, Rosalía's Lux is my go-to. And when the gray weather tries to bring me down, I play Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving, it's like a sunshine-powered happiness shake!
This past week, I stepped back in time with friends at a jazz bar called Hvide Lam. We squeezed into chairs inside the coziest, most historic building, which was buzzing with warmth and personality. The place was packed with older Danes dressed like glamorous 1920s mobsters in the most fabulous outfits!
