An American moved to Copenhagen with her family and reflected on their new life, noting some of the most culture shock-worthy moments.
“One year ago we moved to Copenhagen! This feels like a big moment. How did we get so lucky?! I hope we get many many more 🚲,” Ellie Owens wrote in the caption on her now-viral video.
She also praises their decision to downsize, saying that with a smaller living space, they have more time to spend outdoors or with their kids because weekends aren’t set aside for yard work or house organizing.Owens reveals that one of the most “life changing” aspects of living in Denmark is their affordable childcare.“We have affordable, high-quality childcare here, which has completely changed my life.
Denmark also values parent’s time and commitment to their kids, including free health care, more paid leave days,“Sean has more vacation time here, 36 days, compared to 20. He had 11 at his second and first jobs in the US. So, we get to spend so much more time together and travel more. Sick days aren't really a thing here. You can always take off if your children are sick.
The OP replied, “This is incredible! I’m still blown away every time I leave something behind and find it again right where I left it. Usually set up at eye level.”While several users agreed that this Denmark living seems like a dream, others were asking to see the not-so-great side of living in a foreign country.
