Happy New Years!

Happy New Years friends!

Forgive the light posting these past two weeks--Ken and I have been playing tourist and showing my parents around India. We are currently in Mumbai and will be celebrating the near year at Juhu Beach tonight. Woot. :)

Wishing everyone a wonderful start to 2012 and a solid finish to 2011. Cheers friends!

I want to be Danish.

Copenhagen has quickly become one of my all time favorite cities. The people, the food, the art and design, everything is beautiful and inviting and cozy. I've been trying to figure out how to convert to Danish since my arrival. This country feels like something straight out of a fairytale.

This is an installation my brother found in Finland. Isn't it amazing!? We couldn't figure out who the artist was though--anyone out there with an idea?

Heading to Rome tomorrow for 3 days to meet up with my parents and Ken. Helloooo gelato. :)

Copenhagen & Berlin

Welcome December! I've been waiting for you all year long. Not only because the holidays are filled with lights and love and presents and sugar, but because I'll be going on some pretty spectacular trips over the next 6 weeks, beginning with Copenhagen on Sunday. Hello western civilization and deodorant--how I've missed you.

After hanging out in 120 degree Indian heat for the past 7 months, I'm not sure my body is ready for Northern Europe in the winter, so I anticipate looking a lot like this little dude.

My younger brother is studying architecture in Copenhagen, and together we'll be traveling through Denmark and taking a weekend trip to Berlin. I've never been to either city and would LOVE love love to hear any and all recommendations you have about what to do-see-eat-not eat-etc. Especially anything art/design related. Thank you!
