STORIES FROM A CITY
ISSUE #2 COPENHAGEN
For the second issue of Out Here we travelled to Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital city. On our journey around the city we found an empty theme park, an inspiring social entrepreneur, and, of course, countless enormous pastries. We found a city with multiple personalities. The impeccably designed bike lanes and pristine metro stations belie the dynamic and fascinating people that live beside them.
