Just a small town girl..

"Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world

Took the midnight train going anywhere"...

... And the train went straight to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.

As someone being used to the silent sound of the fields and forests and someone who've always lived in small towns, close to nature and separated from the stressful people of the city, it can be very overwhelming to visit a city like Copenhagen. 

The first thing you notice is the energetic noise from thousand cars, crying children, people buzzing and bikes squeaking. Not long after, you'll realize how impossible it is to walk in the streets. Not only because of the immense size of the city, but also because of the countless number of people trying to get to their destination. 
And yet, something about the city intrigues me.. 

I'm beginning to understand why people think the danish people are the happiest. 
I went on a canal tour excursion and being in a boat, made it possible for me to relax and enjoy the life of the city. I was surprised to see these "city people's" smiles. Everyone waving and smiling at me, children playing, people drinking beers and cheering. People yelling after the boat "Y'all look amazing today!". 

I'm still just a small town girl, but I'm amazed by the life of the city and the constant adventure the city brings you. But for now, I'm most comfortable when I'm able to view it all from afar. Maybe in the future I'll be brave enough to join some of the adventures.

- Still, it sure is good to be home again.
