Although I love certain aspects of each country, I specifically loved the high utilization of public transportation in Copenhagen, compared to the need for a car in Denver. I found myself more relaxed due to not having to worry about road rage and engaging in the additional walks that public transportation required. This made me question, in addition to environmental benefits, does public transportation influence your physical and mental health?
Additionally, my time spent in Copenhagen forced me to experience something out of my comfort zone. I was faced with mental health challenges, as I went through moments of lonliness. As I conqured these challenged, I gained a new awarness for the importance of mental health and wanted to see how other's could improve their own, as well.
