Comfort Hotel Mayfair Copenhagen

... we have to do for the next few weeks, but I also knew that anything remotely resembling personal space or free time was about to go flying out the window.

The first few days in the hostel were a constant stream of amazing CYD’ers trickling in, reunions, cozy fires, exploring our industrial surroundings, and basically watching our common area shrink and shrink and shrink. It’s so amazing to have everyone together and ready to ...

... over to the small footpath on the other side of the duckpond, little pepples pouring over and into the sides of my shoes as I went. But - as I crossed the border out of park and into beloved, recognizable city I realized something. 2 days ago, when I got lost in a park for the second time, I finally found the city again by leaving a path that I now saw about fifty feet further down.
