Why We Moved to Denmark!

- People still ask us, "Why Denmark?" when they find out we moved from the US. We've scattered this answer across a few different videos and livestreams in the past, so we decided to just summarize it here.

"You're stuck with us!" ... and we're happy that we are! You're good people :)
Exactly 😊
Agreed 100%
Thanks :).
Yeah, I was going to say, "We ain't givin' you back" ;)
You are wonderful and you are welcome here :D
We're Brits in Denmark and my husband moved October 2020 and I joined him in October 2021. We had always talked about having an adventure somewhere else in the world then Brexit happened and it was like "If we want to go, it would be easier before Brexit completes" and so we moved. My eldest is just a sponge and has been soaking up all the Danish learning and will now argue both in English and Danish. My youngest has started vuggestue and loves it (from what I can tell as he's not 2 yet).
I love that the "fancy" one is from Circle K - that's so funny! I've seen them in Rema but not sure i've tried them - might have to fix that this week...
So Hej from Nordvest KBH
Welcome to Denmark. Makes me so happy that people from around the world choose to move here and share their culture :)
Hi Hannah J. Glad you and your family made it to DK. Welcome to the Dark side 🤣 ! Hows it working out for you? I'm sure a lot of things are different from the UK and how is that? Be honest! We're all about that !
Even our notorious British cousins are very welcome in DK, as long you just drive on the RIGHT side of the road and work a little on your soft d's and kn's 😂
Hopefully you've found your new favourites and ways of getting the old ones. Funny to hear the eldest is keeping you on your linguistic toes. In this situation, it's something cool when they can experience learning *with* a parent and not just from them, as such - as kids I don't think we often feel that we're in "the same" situations to our parents and with language, they're usually better too, if that makes sense..
It's funny! But we Danes have more in common with you Brits and the Dutch, then with our Nordic family (my opinion anyway). Equal type of lifestyle and sense of humor 😊 ! I have to admit, that I was SO disappointed, when England did "Brexit" 😌 ! We considered England our closest EU Allie! ! Yet here we are! Some of the UK doesn't want us any longer! But UK citizens will always be welcome here 😊 ! Can't think of any EU country, that would turn away a well educated and well trained person from the UK!
I love how Maya has become so much more chatty in the try it on tuesday videos.
I remember in the beginning, she was more or less just there, and now Josh can hardly get a word in XD
Josh here, I agree, it is super cool as she is more engaged in the videos she is in. She’s a ton of fun!
Our daughter was developing some kind of anti-social behaviour because of all the home-time Corona forced her to have. But we mentioned it to the teachers, and she's back like never before...
With the right crew the ship will never go off course. But a thing like that is not something you can do alone as parents. You can only hope to become a safe harbor.
It is easy to like Denmark in the early summer 😀 it is in the dark, wet winters that many of us dream of leaving. Right now I wouldn't want to be any other place in the world. Early May Is Denmark at its very best.
Hello
Totally agree. Would never dream of traveling during the Danish summer. I love the Danish summer even though it's so horribly short. I disagree about early May. It's a bit of a sweeping statement. Not all 'early Mays' are equal. Denmark at it's very best is whenever that sun is strong in the sky and there's not a cloud to be seen. Cherish those days.
No, i don't!
@@jolieangelina3029 Hi Jolie
We moved to Denmark from Wisconsin (USA) on 19 December 2023. Christmas was beautiful and the weather has only gotten better since then! 🤣🤣🤣
Trust me we are super happy you chose Denmark. You guys are fantastic.
Hello mr ronni?
@@jolieangelina3029 Hello Jolie
I have an American co-worker who understands danish perfectly and speaks it too. But, when we sit during lunch, the conversation is in both Danish and English, and it is fluent. So, it is pretty extraordinary when you sit back and listen to the dynamics of switching from one language to another.
I would like a video where you talk about how it has affected you both as a couple and as a family to uproot and move to a different country. For example was it a strain on your relationship or did it bring you closer together? Have you discovered new sides of each other?
Or maybe nothing changed, since you always enjoyed traveling and exploring new places.
So we both moved from Illinois to CPH/Lyngby area lol. I just got here in March. Loving it. Maybe I'll get to run into you at some point and call out, ay, traveling Young!
Yes why wouldn't you. We have bridges taller than mountains, we eat a wide variety of pickled fish and our language is like a tumbleweed of randow vowels. What's not to like 🙃
In our "Andelsforening" it was decided a long time ago, that we cannot have dogs or cats. They are too noisy apparantly. When I was a child, we had a black lab and he was the best dog. But when I look at Brisket, that is the kind of dog I would get, if I was allowed to have a pet. Brisket is so cute. The right size to hold and cuddle etc. Please make a video with only Brisket in it :D
After this, you have to try "Studenterbrød" (Students bread) 👍 ! Made of leftovers from yesterdays pastries.., it's a treat 😉 ! Any Danish Baker worth his/her salt, have these. Apart from the "Pop Tart" with apple filling, I was not a fan. Q8 actually sells a really decent "Skagens-horn" (with a raspberry filling) and "kærne-mælks-horn" (with Marcipan, that your not crazy about 😎). Thank U for being here and your kind words ! Fantastic VLOG 👍😉👍 !
Happy to have you here! 😊 Great try it on Tuesday
You are so welcome here.
Just a short info, Hindbærsnitter is also called Genfersnitter and maybe the name comes from Geneve. (Genf in German) :-)
I know you guys love Hindbærsnitter - and as the long time boyfriend of a baker - we are in agreement.
There are no better hindbærsnitter i Denmark than the ones from the bakery in Den Gamle By in Århus.
The almonds in the 'mørdej' (the type of cake dough used) just adds a that bit more.
Funny story - she actually grew up in Hundested and is used to the ones from there :P
Yes! I have had one from Den Gamle By and I agree it was amazing!
As always, great video.
One very different aspect between Denmark and USA (well, South Carolina) is how the government interacts with you. In Denmark, the government will mostly be proactive, informing you of your rights and such, whereas here, if "you don't say the magic word" you can't really expect to get guidance and help. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of entities that will offer their help, for a fee of course. It's like government creates business opportunity by being cryptic and opaque. Maybe that's why people don't really trust the government here...
When I used to live in Asia, I found an American import store. When I saw the pop tarts, I got so excited cause i've heard them mentioned so many times in pop culture, but when i had my first bite i was so so so dissappointed 🤣 I think you have to grow up with that stuff in order to enjoy it :D
Like peanut butter, I think you have to be American to like that stuff.
Americans don't like pop tarts either! I don't know anyone who actually eats them.
The plain pop tarts toasted and then buttered are the only ones I ever liked. The icing spoils them, imho
@@npbae2339 you are like me. Icing ruins cinnamon rolls
@@richardnelson3227 icing ruins everything, even the looks of what you are eating.
Part of why we tend to ask is probably because of our notoriously dreary weather, and also our mostly flat landscape, it's perhaps not as exciting a place as other places, even if we are content with it, we're just puzzled why you came here voluntarily to stay. But all your reasons do make sense, many factors that make a transition smoother, even if our language is horribly difficult. Thanks for another great video, and the hinbærsnitte review.
You guys are absolutely smashing it with these videos recently, keep up the great work!
It's a good question. I used to work with some expats from UK and at some point they told me that I should do like they do, and make lots of money by moving around as expat. That made me think about leaving my home country for the first time. Besides money, another reason was not feeling at ease with my fellow countrymen. My English was at a high level, I used to even think in English. But I decided not to leave. I knew what I had there, and I was fairly happy with it, and though I am always eager to learn, I'm not the adventurous type. Not long after that I met my Danish wife, and after she had lived with me for some years, we moved to Denmark. I can honestly say that I would not have done that if it wasn't for my Danish wife. So I fully understand that people have the question. Why would you leave your native country if you had a good life there. And why would you choose a country where the weather is not so good and the language is weird. So I enjoyed hearing your reasons :)
Yeah, women are magnets. Often they make you move to their home country.
Agreed, our language is weird. I use to say that English is easy to learn, but the deeper you dig the more 'difficult' it gets. "I were"?
And if you read American comments on RUclips you'll see that many Americans have a very loose relationship to their own language. So to speak.
Bakery by Jørgensen is probably one of the absolute best bakeries in Halsnæs. Good choice!
It pleases me more and more that you are having a great time in Denmark!
I just found your channel and this is the first video i have watched of yours. Great video and what a lovely daughter you have. Very talkative, which is often a sign of a safe and comforting (?) household at that age!
I used to drive breads for lagkage huset, I wouldn't pay that amount of money that it costs for that low quality. I buy from the local bakery or bake my bread myself :)
Mmmmmmm yummi...Hindbærsnitter, my favorite pastry of all time! :-) Glad to be stuck with you :-)
“Yes it’s true.. I am happy to be stuck with you” 🎸🎹🤗 it is fun to hear how you are adjusting/fitting into the “danish way” of life!
Hi,
Just discovered your channel. You guys are lovely! I grew up in Houston and moved to Berlin over twenty years ago. I am currently in Copenhagen for a few days, my second time to Denmark. I have visited many European cities over the last couple of decades and Copenhagen is the best. You made a smart move! All the best.
The Youngs were in Hundested, and I missed them! 😵💫😭
How did that happen? Bugger! 😠
Glad you love our bakery, bc they are supreme!
hello from Hundested 🌸🌱
I love hindbærsnitter, too! The thing is, that many bakeries don’t bake the dough enough! It gets dry and very light in color instead of light brown and crispy! I make them myself with homemade raspberry jam and frosting. You can put them in the freezer without the frosting! They won’t turn soft if you make them yourself.
Glad to be "stuck" with u ;D
Well, I don't want to get political but considering the current state of America the following quote by Richard G. Wilkinson, professor of social epidemiology, rings more true than ever before: "If Americans want to live the American dream, they should go to Denmark."
Fun fact corporate taxes are lower in Denmark than in the US
We love you back ❤️🇩🇰
You guys are cool. I hope we can somehow meet when we here move to Denmark in April 2023.
Hi guys. Great video 😊 Maby you should try to put a Hindbær snitte in the toaster ! Like a pop snitte. 😆
Hindbær snitter always been my favorite. And glad y'all moved here,, if not, we did not get those great videos.
Thanks for your videos!
You have to try hindbærsnitte that is baked a bit more golden, it lifts the whole taste.
Best regrets
Niels
As a Dane - I prefere the Hindbærsnitte from yesterday. My local bakery sells Hindbærsnitter from yesterday. And they seem to be more delicious and moist!
I don’t think I have ever experienced such a detailed analysis of a hindbærsnitte 😄
Haha, thanks :)
So the next video must be about what surprised you in the moving process. What was easier, what was more difficult, what surprised you?
I know some of these questions have been answered in other videos.
And about your experiences learning Danish - difficulties, funny stuff and misunderstandings, the ability to understand spoken Danish... - and surprises?
Sometimes you must have been baffled by the many deep similarities in basic vocabulary and grammatical structure between Danish and English, where you suddenly don't have to think very much, because "all" the words are just slightly disguised versions of each others? - the main reason why most Danes - and our Scandinavian neighbours with their very similar languages - feel that English is a fairly or even very easy language to learn, since we don't have to think that much a lot of the time. 😉
You need to try the hindbærsnitte from Skt. Pederstræde bakery in Copenhagen. The take the jam to cake ratio to the extreme and tops it with a thick layer of frosting.
I love you guys ❤
One thing you didn't mention, but I'm sure you were considering, is safety/crimes/policing.
Having a child/teenager, I would say Denmark is quite a safe place to live.
Sure, as a Dane, I'm quite biassed, but I know "the perfect country" doesn't exist!
But, overall, Denmark seems to be a very safe place to raise children.
Our schools are quite safe, we have a low tolerance for bullying, and children walking, biking, take buses/trains, in public are also quite safe.
Meeting cops here is also not a danger to their health/lives (as we see in some other countries), as Danish cops aren't using force or intimidation as their first tool, but are very well educated, calm, and very good at deescalating situations.
You might think you know almost all about your country and culture, but when you listen to foreigners' experiences, you get an opportunity to learn a lot more, and perhaps change your perception of some issues you never questioned before.
This channel and the "Rope Trotting" channel, are two very good places to do so, and very valuable for both foreigners and Danes, and get to know more about your culture, no matter where in the world you are living, and where you might consider there is room for improvement, and what improvements you would like to see.
Thank you so much!
I’ve lived in US for 4 years at VA and I loved it there… and from a Danish angle, it’s an exotic experience, because what you have is always mundane, and the further you travel the more exotic it gets. I consider US my second home, but it was an eye-opening experience, especially being in an international environment, so I really came to realize how good we got it here in Denmark… to the point that it’s miraculous that we’ve achieved to make this system for ourselves and we’re so functional on so many levels.. like we’ve a great work life balance, not only maternity but also paternity leave for many months that are payed and that brings women up to an equal footing as men, because I know like in the States that women may not get the job in many places if they plan to start a family. That’s not an issue here. Low crime rate, rich and old national history, there are no danger from any other countries, animals or natural catastrophes, whatever you choose as a profession it’s accessible from working class to upper class, you’re not systematically hold back and there’s no pressure to be a particular thing, no matter what you choose, odds are, you most likely wound up in the middle class anyway, you can be a garbage collecter and people won’t frown upon it, usually they’ve pretty good wages - and much more..
I didn’t have a reference point before, but I do know.. and I’m so happy to live in this little pond. Even though I’m adventurous, and I may take a stint in US again… when the polarization has dampen down quite a bit 😬 - but it seems like it’s heading in that direction 😅
I love watching your channel from time to time, because I recognize so much what you’re saying and where you’re coming from, because I’ve been through the same, just from DK to US - so it’s super interesting to hear it reversed, and I don’t think people quite realize how tough it is to settle so far away from home. It’s fantastic, but it pulls everything in you, and you’re worldviews get challenged and flip-flopped. It takes about a year to settle, when the cultures are so different. Huge respect for jumping right into it, and I hope sincerely that you enjoy being here!
Cakes solely ...
Try to sip your favorite mix of coffee to wash it down
That does something...
Enjoy...
please stay as long as you want
If you want the best hindbærsnitte, you should go to Den gamle by (the old city) in Aarhus. It is the absolute king of hindbærsnitter. The dough is a bit different from most, and the glacing is pink.
You should try baking your own hindbærsnitter, then you can add all the jam you want :) I'm an absolute carcrash in a kitchen, and even I've gotten away with making them haha
You should try the bakery Wendorff. Amazing pastries
I just want to burst your bubble around the lagkagehuset, the lagkagehuset is a concept bakery just like mc donald, you must be able to get the same cake in copenhagen as in skagen, it is because everything is made one or two places in denmark and is brought out to all the lagkagehuset's shops at night, so not everything is freshly baked tørkager like the hindbærsnitten may well be 3 days old also pies
Hi :) I'm very glad you did make a video and explaine why you did move to DK, 'cause i did ask you that question for some time ago. I do know that Denmark isn't great at everything... by we do try very hard to do our best. :) For some people Denmark is described as a fairytale country..... and for some, it's kind of true, if that person is from another culture. :)
In my younger days i was employed in Maersk Line, and i did visit many different countries around the world. :)
Hindbærsnitter was never a big hit with me.
Creme linser, trøfler and "onsdags snegle" are some of my favorites.
But I'm unsure how different they are in different parts of the country.
I recall that especially trøfler are a touchy subject.
For your pastries you need cold milk, chocolate milk or coffee, or tea if you have nothing else.
I love onsdagsnegls from Sankt Peders Bageri. My favourites! Yum Yum!
lol, the automatic subtitles on CC called them for "in bear snitter" and "him bear snitter".
@@HannahJ Yeah "onsdagssnegle" should be the standard "snegle". Sometimes one bakery sell them on a non-Wednesday and then they are called "bløddegssnegle" (soft dough snails).
@@Einyen I'd warn against snitting a bear.
I'm impressed that one of the main reasons to move from the US to another country was the intellectual development of your daughter. Wow! So great!
And it's easy to tell that's she's intelligent.
And you didn't forget "r" as Family Guy postulates. 👍🏻😉
I believe some of the litterature on school district influence is based on a Chicago school district line that goes down the middle of a residential road, where where is like a 100000 $ price difference.
Im danish so welcome to the country
No beer from Svaneke 😔 my favourite ( next to my own brew)
Copenhagen is also just bigger than people think. The exact borders of the metro area are fuzzy, but the most restrictive size puts it at well over million and the most permissive at around three and a half. Going with the largest would make it the 17th largest metro area in the US and still maintain a higher population density than most American metro areas. Being a national capital also generally makes cities seem larger, especially in Europe where they're also generally the historically dominant city. All the political and economic institutions needed to run a country and the historical centralization of culture and education attract more attention and diversity than simply their size as a market. And, of course, the sheer wealth of Copenhagen and the relatively equitable distribution of it means that the market can sustain a lot of luxuries because there are more potential customers who can afford them.
I was standing at a bus stop in Aarhus some years ago, and two foreigners from different countries were talking about and taking a qualified guess about how big Aarhus actually is, and in the end they agreed that it probably had a population of 1.5 million, obviously this has to do with how many shops, restaurants, unique looking buildings, the quality of museums, a Tivoli, a Royal summer Palace and so forth you experience while you are visiting any kind of city. I also remember an American exchange student who had picked Aarhus because it on paper was around the same size and population as the city she came from, but then when she arrived, was absolutely shocked to see all the fancy shops and restaurants and the city in general, because she was used to a city with a big mall but pretty much nothing much going on.
@@agffans5725 In fairness, the entire metro area that Aarhus is the center of, the East Jutland Metropolitan Area, is 1.4 million people, so they're not far off.
@@Terraoblivion .. only around 350.000 live in the actual Aarhus area and city limits, all the way from Viby and Tranbjerg in the south to Gellerup and the other suburban areas to the north, unless you also want to count the whole of the East Jutland metropolitan area (including the cities of Haderslev, Middelfart, Fredericia, Vejle, Billund and LEGO land, Randers, Silkeborg, Skanderborg, Kolding, Horsens, Viborg and even more) and I'm 100% sure this is not what the foreigners, not knowing any of this, were thinking of as being part of the city of Aarhus they were visiting and doing their estimate of. It's also not a part of Aarhus as I would think of it. or anyone else do, that I know of.
@@agffans5725 Those areas provide the economic basis for all those facilities in Aarhus, though. Aarhus wouldn't be able to have that fancy shops and restaurants if it was just the 352,751 people of Aarhus Municipality that sustained them. Just like most people don't think of western Connecticut or the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania when they say New York City, but the population of those areas is part of what supports New York as being the metropolis that it is. The metro area concept was invented because traditional city limits and administrative divisions were an unsuited tool to accurately portray the economic dynamics of how cities work.
@@Terraoblivion .. it's not the issue, the issue here is that a tourist wont think of LEGO-land or Viborg, when visiting Aarhus and trying to estimate the size of the city's population. same with Copenhagen and it's wider areas. The shops and restaurants are mainly sustained by visiting tourists, both foreign and Danish.
👍
Hindbærsnitter🇩🇰My absolute favourite 🙂
Hey Young Family,
Great video. Now that you all have lived in Denmark for awhile, do you want to stay there? Do you want to become Danes and remain, or do you think you will eventually look back fondly on your "Denmark years" as retirees living somewhere in America?
whatever the answers to your questions, I'd love to know why.
Many thanks,
Jim Clarke
Akron, Ohio
As you probably know by now (if you watch all their videos) they plan to stay in Denmark. For good.
Love the term: Jam to cake ratio but it's important. Get ligger i detaljen.
❤️
I believe part of a school district in the US is payed for by the property taxes of the houses in that school district, so it is actually partly the other way around, that the value of the properties and houses in the school district partly determines the quality of the school.
It can certainly go either way. If the schools are poor, that drives down the value of homes which drives down property taxes which lowers quality of schools again. But if peoperty values are low to begin with, that also affects schools which, in turn, just compounds the home value issue.
@@TravelinYoung That is a much better explanation, i recently came across this knowledge, and realised i did indeed always wonder why you always ask about the school when looking for a house in american movies :)
Try baking it your self with different jam yommi
I think that is a good next step, try to make it on our own.
Also try Træstammer, Studenterbrød og Romboller
A novel concept, if you have not tried it, American Pie in Copenhagen make a hundbærsnitte pie and it is so weird but so awesome!
I’ve not had that pie yet as it’s created seasonally, but I do love the American Pie company. The savory pies are amazing.
Do they use real dogs for it? 😂
Next time you come to Århus, you should try the Hindbærsnitte in the backer at Den Gamle By.. They are the best, but “bevare” if you call them snitte, you Will be corrected “oh you mean hindbærbrød.” And Hou have to pay with cash. 😄
As a Dane with a best friend who works in Lagkagehuset, its not a "real" bakery to us. Besides the ridiculous overpricing for products that are made the exact same way as every other bakery if not worse, they don't put in the heart, and you can really taste that i think.
If you want a good hindbærsnitte i think small or local bakeries are the best place to buy from, amd as you say if there's not enough hindbær it gets dry ;)
The "why Denmark ?". Is in most cases not a "Why would anyone want to live here?". It is curisity. And a way to find out what motivates your decision. That way we get a better picture of who you are and what you value.
I would like to say that Scandinavia as a whole ... and Finland ... are some of the best countries in the world to live in.
Try hindbærtærte med Creme fraiche! Soo Good 🤤
We have a place called Denmark here in Australia, will that do.
It’s our jantelov, I’m sure. That makes us question the move(our selfs).
Some of us are still like “whats so special about us, that you wonna move here” you know. I feel like the jantelov is more on the retreat these days and maybe thats a good thing :) Once on a vacation someone asked my husband and I where we were from, we said Denmark, he answered “how nice” and I said “why”.. my husband was so embarrassed😆 it’s such a “dane thing to say”.
Could also simply be because when alot of danes think about moving abroad, they usually think of moving somewhere that have better weather than what we have in Denmark, and therefore moving to Denmark doesnt make much sense, also alot of people dont really appreciate the good things in Denmark because they've never experienced living without thoose good things, so its not something they think too much about. Every time something like this surfaces it doesnt have to be because of janteloven, just because it fits as an explanation
@@timnielsen3670 my thought exactly!
where do you get the food you miss from the US while being here ? and which foods are on the list ?
At last, the famous Hindbærsnitte 😁
Well we are all happy that your adventurous spirit made you leave the US and come here. So can we expect any footage from Hundested or was it just some R&R
I plan to shoot video around Hundested at some point, but this trip was to visit a friend who was in town visiting family up there. So personal relaxing time :).
@@TravelinYoung sounds great, I have lived in Copenhagen since the mid 90’s but grew up in Hundested. So I’m looking forward to see how you see it and what you guys come up with
Were there at any point after you moved where you doubted that moving to Denmark was the right choice? If yes then what were the reasons for that?
Bake the Hindbær smitter your self and your can always come more jam in 👍👍👍
Hello
Faith restored.
Try a "gåsebryst" cake 😋
"fun fact" Q8 is a word play on Kuwait
For me it's funny when you say we are good at speaking English. I always put my computer in English.. for computers in danish confuse me, and I'm native at danish. thouge out my school in IT It was all english so I guess its damage from my education.
"You're stuck with us!" ... does that mean you could imagine yourself settle down in Denmark, or is it still just for a certain amount of years before moving again? :)
If the government lets us stay we plan to. :)
@@TravelinYoung Lovely to hear - can't think of a better compliment for a nation than people wanting to settle down! :D Looking forward to following your "journey" for many more years to come! :)
@@TravelinYoung Please do.
How
Where are you going next ???? travelwise
Actually Denmark is the "Buttercup" of the world! In spite of taxes and bad climate there is no better place to live for ordinary people!!
Next time they ask, say your wife is from Denmark and You met her at Ranger barracks in the US. Not to lie, but to see how people react to that. (A few danes are actualy Rangers, so it is kinda possible)
Empathy ❤
Is it bondebyen you live in ?
Damit! Ahh just a joke. I'm so glad you choose Denmark. That makes me proud. :)
Heyy
As a swede I really only have one question; why did you move to Denmark? 😉
I've noticed that Anglo-Saxon Americans often call themselves Irish, Germans etc and talk about "the old country".
What about you?
Where did you get that Danish royal guard goose? Never have seen one
I got it at the Illums Bolighus in Tivoli Gardens! I saw him and had to have him. His name is Filbert 😂 - M
@@TravelinYoung Copenhagen along with Vancouver are 2 cities I need to visit soon, my favorite cities.
Wearing cap inside 😂
The hindbærsnitte of today is a poor excuse of a hindbærsnitte. Now, the top is almost always completely covered in glaze, which makes the cake soft and sad. Not many years ago, the top of the hindbærsnitte was baked so that it was still a bit crunchy. On the top was a line of glaze; no more than a third of the top was glazed. Much better back then. I miss the “old days”…
Besides your reasons, which i also would have liked to know if it was me moving.
Security would be one thing i would reseach aswell, and the economy stability of the country plus personal pay. And even tho i dont vote, i would even want to know political situation in terms of corruption. You didtn think of any of those at all ?
I guess its abit diffirent for me, since i would actualy be moving away from Denmark haha. Honestly i would never move to Usa (no offence meant) it is simply to uncertain/unstable in too many areas for my taste.
Despite what is said Denmark is a pretty safe country to live in, off the top of my head the only place better (outside Scandinavia) I can only think of New Zealand - Japan is also safe but bad in other ways.
Security and stability are important. I didn’t mention in the video because we didn’t exhaust any time considering countries that weren’t safe or stable. When a list of possibilities to consider emerged, they were all fine so that wasn’t a factor in the end.
Meyers hindbærsnitte♥️
I've only watched the first 2 minutes and I'm already laughing at why Danes are confused by moving here.. my belief is that it comes from the mentally of keeping everyone at the same level. But you've chosen Denmark so you might think of it on a higher level. And then of course there is the weather. But what they don't realize to us Americans, at least to me.. living in Denmark is like living the American Dream with all the social benefits.
See, Im the weirdo who loves the weather here. It’s not blazing hot, well, ever. And I personally love a rainy day. But I totally get why it’s hard for some to adjust. I can’t imagine coming from California. We at least had the benefit of 8 years of Chicago winters to prepare us for anything. - M
@@TravelinYoung i wasn't prepared for how strong the wind would be or that coming from Florida i appreciate the sun a lot more.
Planning these videos must require you (two) discussing things you might not have done otherwise.
Just a thought.
That is a good observation and something I hadn’t realized until you mentioned it. I think it is a true statement.
OH NO you forgot about Norway...don't worry Norway is there. I'm a Norwegian and can say...living in Norway is a good idea...if you like good living and a high pay salary. On a side note anyone in oil or the SMART industry you'll get a 30% tax reduction only ion Norway WOOP WOOP I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅
Dane here.
If I could relieve my life I'd be born in the northernmost Norway.
I always tell people "don't go South, go North!" (But they don't listen). I've been to Norway many times and to Nordkap twice.
I wish I was a Norwegian 🤷🏻♂️
And I miss the snow...
Please toast the poptart 😞
