Stepping off the train at Copenhagen Central, I instantly felt welcome. Visiting during #PrideWeek was a gift—this city radiates joy. In summer, Copenhageners sunbathe on every surface & move easily by bus, train, or water taxi. Always outside, always alive. 🌈✨

Stockholm captured my heart! 💙 From friendly faces to a stunning mix of old and new architecture, I felt inspired everywhere. Getting around was a breeze—walking, boating, or zooming through the metro. And the food? Top-notch! Swipe to vibe with me!

It doesn’t take much to make me feel safe—a gesture, a simple kindness, a colorful flag. 🌈 In Oslo, I found all three.
Hand in hand with Tanya, we wandered without a second thought, in a country that’s led the way in LGBTQ rights since 1972. #LoveBelongsHere #OsloPride #LGBTQTravel
