abroad diaries | moving to copenhagen 

eva is such an art herself. there should actually be an award for this type of editing because it is truly amazing.

It doesn’t matter the place Eva is, she can always capture the beauty of the city and make the most out of it, which definitely is a reflection of her as a person, genuinely beautiful inside and out

as a dane, it's so nice to see the city from the lens of someone seeing it for the first time! hope u enjoy ur stay here, danish summer is the best

It’s so refreshing seeing someone talking openly about the anxiety of travelling: I often feel very jittery right before leaving my comfort zone and a few days after the departure, which makes me feel so ungrateful and like such a scaredy cat. Thank you for speaking about it, it made me feel less alone 💌✨ (also, from a literature graduate to another, keep the book reviews coming!)

EVA !!!! Your videos are so comforting and inspiring! I'm so happy for you that you're able to travel the world and thank you for documenting it for us! Definitely have been inspired by your travel destinations for where I dream to go

It’s so nice to have friends that enjoy reading as much as you!

You have no idea how blessed and lucky you are! Your travel videos bring me so much comfort as due to circumstances I could never have amazing opportunities like living abroad which would be a dream. Love all your videos but I am so excited for more videos in Scandinavia! It’s my dream destination in the world. You should take a trip to Sweden and Norway that would be so cool! As an American I almost never met or see other Americans or Canadians who choose Scandinavia to travel or live, it’s always France or Italy so this is so exciting! Can’t wait for more videos from your Scandinavian adventures ❤️

I have translated the recipe I got from my mother and added steps and hints. Drømmekage fra Brovst: (Dreamcake from Brovst) Ingredients: For a baking tray about 42cm x 42cm (~ 16.5 x 16.5 inches). If your baking tray is slightly smaller or bigger it just means your cake will be slightly thinner or thicker and you might want to adjust your baking time to fit that - experiment with it. Note: best to measure out every ingredient for both the sponge and topping first but making sure to keep them separate to not accidentally mixing them together. Also, a good idea to read the whole recipe and make sure all the needed utensils are at hand and ready to be used. The same pot for melting ingredients, can be used for both the sponge and the topping. For easy cleaning you can line your baking tray with baking paper, otherwise you will need extra butter to grease your baking tray, before pouring in the mixture for the sponge. Sponge: 6 Eggs (experiment to figure out which size eggs suits you best) 600 grams Sugar 500 grams Wheat flour 6 teaspoons Baking powder 2 teaspoons Vanilla sugar 4 decilitres Milk (3.5% fat or as close as you can get) 100 grams Butter Extra Butter (if you decide to grease your baking tray) Topping: 250 grams Butter 200 grams Coconut flour (this is supposed to be quite course, so not finely grounded like regular flour) 500 grams Muscovado sugar 1 decilitre Milk (3.5% fat or as close as you can get) Step 1: Either line your baking tray with baking paper or grease it with butter. For the sponge part of the cake: Use large bowl that can hold all the ingredients for the sponge. Set oven to preheat to 200 C (392 F - you might use 400 F) Step 2: (Sponge) Eggs (without the eggshells) Sugar Whip these 2 ingredients together at least until the mixture gets foamy. Step 3: (Sponge) Wheat flour Baking powder Vanilla sugar Fold the 3 above ingredients carefully into the egg and sugar mixture from above. The reason for folding it carefully is to retain the air that was whipped into the mixture. Step 4: (Sponge) Milk (just the amount for the sponge) Butter (just the amount for the sponge) These 2 ingredients are first slowly melted together in a pot (don't get it boiling - just melted) and then also folded into the above mixture. Step 5: (Sponge) The mixture is poured into a baking tray and the baking tray (with the mixture in it) is put as close as it can to the middle part of the oven and baked for about 20 minutes (experiment with timing) For the topping part of the cake: Do this quite soon after step 5, since it is best for the topping to cool down a bit before spreading it on the sponge. Step 6: (Topping) Butter Muscovado sugar Milk These 3 ingredients are melted together in a pot. Step 7: (Topping) Coconut flour This 1 ingredient is added to the pot and mixed in well. Let it sit and cool a bit while the sponge finish baking. Step 8: (Sponge) Take the baking tray out of the oven after the 20 minutes (or what time you have found to be best) Set the oven to 220 C (428 F) Step 9: (Sponge & Topping) Spread the topping on the sponge and prepare to get it back in the oven. When ready put it back in the oven for about 5 minutes. Step 10: (Sponge & Topping) Take the baking tray out of the oven after the 5 minutes and fight the urge not to cut and eat the cake right then and there - remember it is very hot right out of the oven.

i can’t wait for you read the perks of being a wallflower. it’s my all time favorite book, it’s the book that got me into reading. despite its “simple” writing i find that it’s a mask for the real depth that lays behind the story. i love it and i hope you do to 💗

The one store you stopped by, Motel à Mio, is a German brand making Portuguese porcelain (all made in Portugal) but is inspired by Danish design. It’s such a great mix of different parts of Europe !

JUST WHAT I NEEDED !! im moving to copenhagen for 3 months in april and this is also my first time being away from home. thanks for sharing how it feels

I recommend this place called Reffen,is where they have lots of street food and they have so many different choices ! I also recommend renting bikes because it's so nice and calming biking around Copenhagen!

Denmark is a beautiful nation with a vibrant culture and history. You've already taken a courageous and thrilling step towards new horizons. Enjoy the new experiences.

eva, thank you for sharing these moments with us, even the harder moments. a lot of people don’t talk about how hard it can be to leave home and you depicted it perfectly. i hope you are having so much fun so far in copenhagen!

i know i'm late in watching these videos, but you're making me miss my time abroad in Sweden, discovering the place you'll be living in for the next few months, creating new little habits... i miss this moment of my life very much and i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did!! i also hope i'll be able to live this again!!

the past few days i’ve been rewatching all your old videos and today i am sick and am gifted with this gem! thank you so so much for blessing me with this amazing piece of your life it truly is healing me rn - ps. so excited for you to be in copenhagen! could you do a high school stats video and mcgill application advice video sometime? love you eva!

nothing makes me happier than people living in and sharing content from various places around the world that aren't just los angeles or new york

The joy it brings me to watch you here in copenhagen is something else. I love love this video and I think it might be one of my favorites of yours. It is just so amazing to see Copenhagen from your perspective, I hope you'll like it here.❤ hopefully I'll someday meet you while you're here, that would be a dream come true 🎀

Hi Eva! I've been on Erasmus for one semester from september 2022 and just got back now to my hometown and I can assure you that you are not alone and your feelings are so natural right now but there will be better time and very good moments to enjoy, just trust me☺💖

I'm Danish and live in Copenhagen too, so nice to see that you like the city too :D Also some of the places you showed are new to me 😊 here are some other recommendations: Delphine, Broens Gadekøkken (in summer) Østre Anlæg/Frederiksberg garden, Moment KBH antique store, Ø12 for brunch, Frankies pizza, Lousiana museum or SMK 💫

I'm obsessed with you, copenhagen, this editing, the aesthetics, the art, the everything

I'd heavily recommend The Secret History! One of my fav novels.

thank you for talking about the negative parts of moving far from home, and not just sugar coating everything

Eva, you exactly expressed how i feel right now. So hard being away from home and everyone. You could never be mentally and emotionally prepared 😢 Looking forward to your abroad series as we journey the progress of our personal development. Cheers!

These travel diaries are one of my favourite videos to watch ahhh. You curate such a beautiful story for every city/country that you visit😍😍

omg I’ve been looking forward to this!! copenhagen looks beautiful. ur environment apart from the greenery but the PEOPLE >> so excited to watch. biggest comfort person. ilyyyy

I love the concept of hygge! I want to include it as well from now on, I’m studying abroad in the US but am from the EU- you’re description of all matches exactly what I experienced too. Lovely video ❤️

There's something about small apartments that I love

Something about (almost) every European country gives off major SKAM vibes, including Denmark, though I believe your editing also plays a role in that. I'm a relatively new subscriber, but I have to say that I love the way you capture small things from everyday life

i'll be studying abroad in denmark (Aarhus) too starting august! woaah i'm so excited for your abroad diaries now! 💛💛

i think it's your best vlog so far. quite inspiring , aesthetic and honest. the city is stunning and i hope you will recover soon. also, we appreciate your honesty about anxiety and homesickness. wishing you the best and hope that you will enjoy every moment of your time there

You’re not ready for summer - summer in Copenhagen is literally the best and it’s so HYGGELIGT

evaaaa this is so lovely to watch... can you talk about what you're studying and uni life? and social life? luv u

i think im in love with this city. I. WANNA. MOVE. THERE.

I just adore all of the pottery and beautiful ceramics in danish culture. So so beautiful

Copenhagen is the best city ever. I also did my exchange there last semster and it was one of the best periods of my life. I know for sure that I want to go back to this city to work/live there long term. Enjoy!!

the first few weeks are the worst, but make the most out of your exchange. it will go by sooo fast and you'll keep the memories you're cultivating right now for a lifetime. i sit and long for those times all the time.

The way you make every single place you visit look so appealing! Copenhagen reminds me a lot of my home city Melbourne - I hope to visit one day!

I lived in the same building you're in during my exchange semester which ended at the end of January and it's so nice to see all of the things I used to see when I was in Copenhagen!

I always rewatch your videos when I need comfort, motivation or inspo

I MISS YOU 💓 ... but am so so happy to see you taking things in stride and tuning into your new surroundings. What a soulful artist you are! Your amazing skill set is bringing tears to my eyes.

eva have u thought about creating a podcast? it would be great 💌

evaaaa i love you and i look forward to more abroad diaries

the best RU-vidr ever, I genuinely get excited to watch all your videos

watching this as i just submitted my application to study abroad in montreal!

omg I'm finishing up the last few minutes of this video right now and you mentioned TPOBAW so I had to come back and comment. Perks is my favorite book of all time. I read it in 9th grade (I'm in 12th now), and it changed my life tremendously. Even though I have read so many books since then, nothing will ever top Perks for me. It is just utter perfection. I hope you enjoy it! Also: my 2nd fav book is Daisy Jones and The Six which is also featured in this video HAHA.

omg the marching band is so cute 😭💓

Thank you for the amazing video as always! I hope you've been feeling better since and will have a good time in europe. I really appreciate the way you capture things. It makes me remember that there are things in the everyday to appreciate even when things may seem grim.

Hey could you maybe make a video about what things cost and where you guys lived on your Europe trip?❤ and what you recommend and not recommend.☺️

Love this! Would love to hear more about the exchange… like what University you are at and type of accommodation? How is the work load and style of teaching over there ?

hey eva i hope you are doing better and adjusting to the new lifestyle of Denmark ❤️

It is strange to see this city through your eyes. I've spent quite a lot of time there for work and this brings a new perspective. Love it! I am happy you are in such a safe, lovely and beautiful city. I hope you get to enjoy it to full extent. The spring will be beautiful. Danish summers are SO lovely as well. I REALLY hope you will visit the most beautiful beaches there during the summer. Please believe me: a study exchange will go SO SO SO fast! Denmark is also a great hub to visit other places. As Denmark is quite expensive a lot of the locals go shopping across the border to northern Germany. I love that you can take a train to many parts of Europe from there!!! Also had no idea Copenhagen has a good thrifting scene. Thanks for the tip! =)

I love love love your videos and vibes they’re absolutely everything 🖤🖤🙏🏼

OMG I’m always happy when I see you wearing teddy fresh! I love that brand so much and love the color of the hoodie on u! ❤

THE SECRET HISTORY IS SO GOOD

I was feeling sad and a little apathetic and this made me feel better ❤

hi eva! do you know the name (or where it's located) of the public art installation at shown at 5:16? your capturing of it sparked inspiration for an english assignment of mine, however, i am unable to find its name/creator:((

your videos are absolutely beautiful

Please please let us know the prices! I’m going abroad in Copenhagen next semester and I’d love to know what the price ranges are for thrifting and other things!

I am so excited to celebrate Easter holiday in Copenhagen again!!! The places you went to were so interesting. I have added them to my list

It's so fun to watch you be in all the places I am everyday. I love this Eva

so so excited to follow this new adventure ! i'm so happy for you, hope you're having a great time !! it makes me want to go and live abroad :) just a few questions pls : how much do you pay for your studio ? and is it easy for foreign students to go and live there (in your own experience) ?

one of my favourite ever cities

Look forward to summer. Danish summers are the most magical thing especially in copenhagen

The Secret History is a must read!!

YAYYY! i’ve been waiting for Copenhagen videos :) so so happy for you Eva ⭐️⭐️❤️

hello Eva! I just moved to The Netherlands from sunny Portugal, here is a list of things that might help! thermal underwear helps me keep the warmth without feeling like the Michelin man, a heating pad could help the cold-room situation and stopping every once in a while during a day out of running errands for warm coffees helps so much! hope this helps

Happy Easter 🐇🐇🐇

Exactly what I needed after a long day !😭💓 ily evaaaaaaaa hope you're having an awesome day 💗

What’s your lipstick it’s beautiful!!

i moved out 3 weeks ago & your videos give me comfort in my uncomfiness

I'm moving to Denmark in a month and I'm telling u... u have no idea how much your videos helps me

th clips from the huge greenhouse are actually magical wow

Love this! I’ve been teaching myself Danish so this video is extra fun. 🇩🇰

It was such a treat for me to find your video today. I will move to Copenhagen in May, so thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I can relate a 100% :) Settling into a new place is always hard at first, but it soon pays off. I hope, you feel a bit more like a local already! Also, The Secret History by Donna Tartt is one of my favorite books. It is soooo good. Absolutely recommend it!
