Frida Tranum Nielsen

Hailing from Denmark, EHS senior Frida Tranum Nielsen has been in the US for almost a month now, and is already loving it.

“I’ve always loved traveling so I suppose that’s why I came here. I love learning the language and the new culture, it’s so different from my own!” Nielsen said.

One challenge that Nielsen has come across in America is getting used to the time difference. She admits that her biggest struggle was getting over jet lag! Nielsen plans to stay in Minnesota until the end of June, and return sometime in the future.

So far, her favorite part of being here is simple: the yellow school buses! “I love them!” said Nielsen. “In Denmark we have only one bus in my whole town for multiple purposes.”

If you see her in the halls, give her a warm “hej” (“Hello” in Danish)!
