As an American in Denmark, there are many moments that I find myself contemplating the differences between my life in the U.S. and my life here in Copenhagen. This blog serves as a place for me to note Observations living abroad and just things that pop up that relate to daily life and my adopted home, Denmark.
As a food writer and being married to a chef, I find myself being inspired to write about food or restaurants I visit. Therefore I have created the Foodie Bits category.
Finally, since I personally place a high level of importance on Health, Wellness & Balance, I occasionally write entries relating to these subjects as well.
My hope is that there is an audience for my writing and that somewhere and somehow my words just might touch, help or inspire someone. At the very least, it will allow me to write freely and openly about things I care about.
Hi Laura
I have recently started up a new webpage called Career Guide 2 Denmark.
It helps highly educated English speakers in Denmark finding their dream job.
My aim have been to make it easier to get an overview of the opportunities in Danish companies.
Take a look at http://www.careerguide2denmark.com – I hope you like it, and that you might want to link to the webpage at your blog
Best regards

Hi Laura
Thanks a lot:)
Greetings,
I met a girl from Denmark last summer and I am moving from Tennessee to KPH to be with her starting in June. I was hoping I could bother you with a few questions:
1. Our understanding is that I can look for work on a tourist visa, do you know anything about this? She asked at the udlaendingcentret (I believe that is what it is called).
2. From what I gather, I can expect to run into a series of brick walls, especially employers who are unfriendly to foreigners. Do you have any tips for ingratiating myself?
3. I have a MA in English– is this going to count for anything? Ideally, I’d like to write for a publication. A second choice would be high-level editing.
4. My girlfriend is not yet 24, have you heard of any way that one can legally circumvent the 24-year rule for marriage?
I’m studying Danish in earnest and am willing to take pretty much any job that will get me a work visa– I can afford to be picky after I have my foot firmly in the door. I will really owe you one if you can give me any advice.
Sincerely,
Wes C.
