  • Here is what I am packing for my study abroad semester in Copenhagen, Denmark for the winter and spring. I tried to be as minimalist as I could, but I also don't want to buy too much when I'm there - this is the balance I found.
    If you have any other requests for study abroad videos, please let me know!

    most of the time, whenever i travel on the aeroplane, i wrap around a piece of ribbon around the handles of the suitcases i bring, so you can easily pick out where your suitcases are on the baggage escalator thingy (soz i forgot the name of it)

    oh my when you're in Copenhagen you HAVE TO go to Papirøen, its the coolest food market ever (not too many vegan options though..) and is located on this little island just outside of Nyhavn i love it so much

    • @TaraEfobi
      @TaraEfobi  Před 7 lety

      Do they at least have decent vegetarian options? I'm not vegan lol! I might have to check it out

    • @buffenbjer
      @buffenbjer Před 7 lety +1

      oh i thought you were vegan hahah! yeah they definitely had much more vegetarian dishes (which tasted AMAZING btw) compared to the vegan ones. there's almost always lots of people there though so it might be hard to find a place to sit

    @DreamDanceDrums Před 7 lety

    Hi!!! I'm from Mexico but I study in Spain by myself, so I've done the jump to the other side of the world many times, and I just recommend that you make your backpack lighter, like only your book, laptop, your wallet, the important papers and the planner instead of the many stuff you're taking for entretainment. You're probably going to be walking a lot, so that's why I'm telling you to make it lighter, besides, that backpack is going to be under the front seat and where you put your legs, and the smaller it is, the more comfortable you'll be. I see that you still have space in your carry on, so you can put all that stuff in there.

    • @TaraEfobi
      @TaraEfobi  Před 7 lety +1

      Already traveled with it the way it was and it worked fine for me actually! But thank you

    Hey! I'm planning on studying abroad in London in the fall! I was wondering what phone you were bringing? I know you can carry a hotspot device or change sim cards, but i'm looking for the easiest way possible- maybe the whole different phone thing is? Have fun in Copenhagen girly!! 💕

  • @maryamhaddad6359

      I think it's LL Bean! But I could be wrong

    • @TaraEfobi
      @TaraEfobi  Před 7 lety +2

      Not sure if it's because I'm on the Danish LL Bean site or if it's because I bought that backpack almost 4 years ago, but I no longer see this exact one on there. They've still got great ones though!

    @whaty2000 Před 7 lety

    Is there not a rule tht u r not allowed to take more than 1 liter into the air plane? And tht each container is not allowed to be over 100 ml? They looked too large in your backpack. I was also missing an adapter to charge your electronic stuff in Europe, but maybe tht was just not in the video.

    • @TaraEfobi
      @TaraEfobi  Před 7 lety +1

      They're not too big - it's a TSA specific bag and containers. Got through security this morning with no issues lol

    • @whaty2000
      @whaty2000 Před 7 lety

      Did u pack in an adapter for the plug sockets?

    • @TaraEfobi
      @TaraEfobi  Před 7 lety +1

      Yup, said that in the vid. I said it during my checked luggage part. Although I have a backup in my carry-on as well that was not mentioned - it was in that bag of misc. electronics

      @chasing-mental-clarity Před 7 lety

      Tara E. Yeah you're right and it actually hasn't snowed much. I'm from southern California so that's why it was a shock for me. I've never been colder. Get ready to experience the Danish culture! Ahh so excited for you! Have fun and good luck (:

    • @chasing-mental-clarity
      @chasing-mental-clarity Před 7 lety

    • @TaraEfobi
