Arrival | Welcome to Copenhagen!

I've arrived! There's so much happening right now. I think I'm going to have to split this into 2. This one is about our immediate landing. I'll post more about my Kollegium after some long awaited sleep. It's been 40 hours since I last slept!

Knopsvane; also known as cygnus olor or the mute swan was voted as the national bird of Denmark in 1984. Its popularity presumably stems from Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale, “The Ugly Duckling.”

A symbol of ardent loyalty and fierce protection, the tale of the Knopsvane encourages us to remain grounded while rising to loftier heights. I call upon the Knopsvane to sweep us beneath its wings. May she guard this site of reflection, and share her courage, resilience, and guidance.
