Denmark

Here we are

I'm living in Aalborg since August 2016. Why Denmark? Because I wanted to do my Masters abroad,  but also didn't want to pay for education. After plenty of searches for a Master abroad in Communication I collected so much cookies that apparently a Facebook ad appeared asking if I wouldn't like to study "Culture, Communication and Globalisation" at Aalborg University in Denmark (tbh never heard about that city before). However, I applied and apparently it was the only uni I got in. As I found out later there were more than 500 people applying for this program (100 got accepted) so probably I can call myself lucky to at least got a spot here. 

Now, I am at an age where I have a very busy life and also my friends' schedules are quite tight, making it almost impossible to keep up with everybody. And that is why I've created this blog, so everybody can get updated about my life.

2 Days in Lisbon

I have to say after seeing that many impressive cities around the world I have quite high expectations to city trips, but I can say Lisbon fulfilled it 100%! I totally felt in love with the city and would go as far as saying its within my top 5 European cities (maybe even top 3 but let's not exaggerate at this point haha). It has the whole package: the big city vibe, the summer flair with the perfect weather (it was sunny, around 26 degrees, a bit windy, not too hot and not too cold, the modern aspect, the historical, culural, Portuguese side, the shopping possibilities, the super delicious food, very open and kind people, the international atmosphere and the nightlife - all just comes together in Lisbon. Food Did you ever think about typical porugese food? Well I didn't and apparently most of their traditional food involves pork. Since I'm anything else than a fan of any kind of meat I haven't had any expectations on trying typical portugese food. But as usual ...

Student Life at AAU

- English version below - Hallihallo, schön, dass Ihr Euch anscheinend immer noch für mein Leben hier interessiert  :) Heutiger Post wird sich mit meinen ersten Uni-Tagen und meinem sozialen Leben beschäftigen...  Aalborg University  Offiziell begann mein Studium am 02. September (einem Freitag - warum weiß niemand). Aber es gab kostenlos Kuchen und Kaffee - bei einem solchen Service beschwere ich mich nicht über einen Freitag in der Uni :) Es ging erstmal nur um die Struktur des Studiums, ein Einführungstag sozusagen. Und die Einführung war bitter nötig! Man kann theoretisch in 1000 verschiedenen Wegen seinen Abschluss machen. Man kann sich spezialisieren - muss man aber nicht, man kann ein Nebenfach machen - muss man aber nicht. Man kann eine zusätzliche Hausarbeit schreiben - muss man aber nicht. Alles in allem sehr verwirrend. Noch dazu ändert sich der Stundenplan von Woche zu Woche - noch verwirrender. Aber ich habe immer Montags frei und immer Freitag...

Winnie OUT!

Adios Aalborg, hello Berlin! It's time to say the final good bye to Denmark and turn the page in the book of life. Get a life update in the following post. Enjoy! - Deutsche Version weiter unten - So this is it, my Denmark experience is officially over. As most of you know, I was never really a fan of Aalborg... or Denmark (gooosh that wind), but yeah surprisingly I do have mixed feelings about leaving for good now. After all, this experiences did have its good sites; starting with the fact that the I’ve met this one Bulgarian guy, who I now move to Berlin with (more about that later). Then there was the job in an incredibly awesome company with the most amazing colleagues ever. Like seriously, who would have thought that I will actually end up having a proper job in Marketing for almost a year when I came to DK? I remember me saying “I’ll probably do some cleaning job since I’m not speaking Danish”... I really can’t believe how lucky I am to have had thi...
