For Gunhild from Norway and Peter from Canada it was \u2018love at first orientation.\u2019 <\/p>\n
They met each other at the first student introduction meeting at the Department of Political Science in Copenhagen three years ago.<\/p>\n
They became close friends and running buddies. But soon, their hearts were racing for a different reason.
\nPeter and Gunhild started meeting daily and hanging out with each other all the time. <\/p>\n
Peter and Gunhild are not only a perfect example of love found during exchange, but also a couple who fought in order to maintain their relationship.<\/p>\n
\u00bbDue to the nature of what brought us together, a short-term university exchange, we knew that we had to have \u2018the talk\u2019 about where our relationship was going really soon\u00ab, says Peter. <\/p>\n
When Peter\u2019s exchange period finished, he had to come back to Canada to finish some mandatory courses for his bachelor. As a result, they were apart for a number of months.<\/p>\n
The couple did not see each other during this time, which was very troublesome.<\/p>\n
\u00bbOver the course of our relationship, the hardest thing has been having to be apart due to visa issues\u00ab, says Peter.<\/p>\n
They now both living in Ottawa (Canada), where they have found good careers. Nevertheless, Peter will always remember Copenhagen as the place where their roads converged, he says.<\/p>\n
