In my suitcase

 I thought it would be fun to show you little bits of what my bag contained on the way back from California.

//Lip balm from EOS. You can buy these in Denmark too but they're more than triple the price (I kid you not!) so I like to stock up whenever I get the chance.

//One Line A Day. A five year memory book. I'm horrible a keeping a diary (apart from this little space) but I figure I can manage one line a day. So far so good.

//Running shoes from Asics. Same story as with EOS; they're cheaper.

//Chocolate chips. Because chocolate chip cookies taste the best when using Nestle.

//Marshmallow Fluff. So bad but soooo good!

//Mexican hot chocolate. Because once you've tried it you never go back.

//Tea from David's Tea. My current favorites are Read my Lips, Oh Canada, Jessie's Tea and Chocolate Orange.

Other things that I stock up on when in the US are products from Burts Bee and Yes to Carrots. In particular the Orange Essence Facial Cleanser and the Yes to Cucumbers Daily Calming Moisturizer. 

Solid shampoo from Lush and various magazines.

Do you have any favorites that you always bring home when you're traveling?

As I was sitting in the airport looking through these pictures I felt that oh so well-known feeling of despair and being torn. San Francisco Airport is a place that I love and hate all the same. Love when I arrive, and hate when I leave. My stomach has experienced all kinds of different butterflies there. This time though, I fell more torn than I have before because even though I wanted to stay, I still had something to get back to in Denmark.

Pictures from my commute to the hospital. Taken last week.

It started snowing again late last night, just as I was walking home.
It could have been quite magic walking through the quiet snowy streets of Copenhagen had it not been for the icy cold wind. It made me hurry along.

Today I wave goodbye to the cold for a couple of weeks, San Francisco might not be hot but at least it's warmer. I'm excited! In some ways I almost feel like I'm going home.

Time flies! Suddenly the 7th day of the new year is also my first post this year. I hope you've had a terrific beginning to 2013.
I spent the last days of 2012 and most of Christmas on the couch at my parents house nursing a pretty nasty flu. My sister was sick with pneumonia so we were stuck in front of the TV with our parents taking care of us. Bringing us food, cold wraps and water. If you have to be sick then aforementioned setup is as good as it gets.
I moved to Copenhagen on the first day of 2013. And I started my internship on the second day. I've seen one (beautiful and peaceful) birth so far. Only one. I'm getting a little impatient and crossing my fingers that tomorrows shift will bring me another one.
Welcome 2013. I have a feeling that you'll be a good one.

As the rain persists and it gets darker and colder here in Denmark, I find myself longing for San Francisco. I'm struggling with finding a new normal as things slow down and everyday life suddenly is here. It feels so trivial after the whirlwind it has been to start a brand new education and moving halfway across the world. I've always been restless though I like to think of myself as a dreamer. It sounds better. 

So excuse me while I drift off to dreams of hilly streets, killer views, tacos and lovely crazy San Franciscans.
