About

I created this blog in 2010 while studying in Copenhagen at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad.  I graduated from Smith College with a degree in Women and Gender Studies and a concentration in Landscape Studies in 2011. In the fall 2012, I will attend the Taubman College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Michigan.
