I'm thinking of uprooting my family and moving to Copenhagen to attend design school in 2011. I have researched how hard it would be to get a study visa for myself and a work visa for my boyfriend. Apparently it's  not very hard at all to live in Denmark if you want too. I have wanted to live in Copenhagen since high school. I am not sure why but I am drawn to this city like no other. I feel like I am meant to be a bike riding, design loving member of the Danish society. I want my little boy (now 1 1/2 yrs old) to experience something besides the state that we currently live in. His father grew up here and his father's father grew up here and so on. I am of a military background and have spent my entire life traveling from one place to the next and I love it. I actually miss moving around now that I no longer live at home. I feel as if I need to give Benjamin every opportunity that I can afford to give him. I would like him to learn a few languages while he is very young (the best age to learn a new language is around 3 years old or younger) and to have access to many different cultures, and not have the typical american upbringing. It is either Copenhagen where I would prefer to attend the Danish Design School or off to London where I would love to attend the London College of Fashion at the University of Arts London. If I get accepted to either one that is. I still have a LOT of work to do on my portfolio before I can even think of sending in my applications. I would love to take courses in textile design, photo styling and shoe design. We shall see what comes of these dreams later in the year, until then I better get cracking on some new pieces for my oh so empty portfolio case. Wish me luck!
