5 Things Denmark could learn from AMERICA Robe Trotting 2024-10-10 | #denmark #danmark #dansk In this video we take a look at things Denmark could learn from America. We decided to create this video based on the reactions to a vide owe made of the reverse topic - things America could learn from Denmark.Since we grew up in the USA and moved to Denmark in 2017, we love both countries and try to focus on the best things about both. This means that there are many opportunities for both Denmark and the US to learn from one another and improve on their existing greatness.Of course, no country is perfect, so we wanted to highlight things about America that Denmark could take and run with. Many already exist to some level and could be scaled. Some of them are things about the American economy and make up of the US system that would work well in Denmark. Other elements are more cultural and things about American culture that work well in the US and could be helpful for Danes in daily life in Denmark.Of course, we make both of these videos without tearing down either country, so while we want to hear your comments - please do the same. Nationalism is never something we want to see from people in either America or Denmark, but respectful observations and opinions are always welcomed 😊 Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content about living in Denmark, expat life, and cross-cultural experiences!🎧 For a deeper conversation, check out our podcast 'What Are You Doing in Denmark' on YouTube and all streaming platforms.➡ WATCH NEXT: Things American could learn from DENMARK - youtu.be/pqwmfQLUy-0🛒 SHOP our CPH Guides For Your Trip: http://www.thatch.co/@robetrotting⭐ CHEAPEST Way To Book CPH Attractions: bit.ly/3GRWfIg💳 BUY A Copenhagen Card (80+: attractions & transport): bit.ly/43JOdLt🚋 Buy Danish Train Tickets Online: https://www.publictransport.dk/🚲 BIKE WITH DONKEY REPUBLIC: https://www.donkey.bike/download-app/ and use promo code ROBETROTTING for 15% off💸 SEND MONEY INTERNATIONALLY?

5 Things America could learn from DENMARK Robe Trotting 2024-09-25 | #Denmark #Danmark #DanskIn this video, we examine different aspects of life in Denmark that we think the United States could benefit from adopting. Some of these aspects of a Danish lifestyle are things we have grown to love since moving to Denmark in 2017 and others are part of the ethos and nature of the country.No country is perfect and we are of course discussing both countries from a generalized point of view, but having lived in America and lived in Denmark for many years - we think we have found some things that America could learn from Denmark.Of course, the Danes are known for many parts of their culture like happiness and work life balance - but behind those metrics, there are lessons that we think Americans would benefit from. The same things that make Denmark a great place to call home could be implemented in the United States.Since moving to Denmark, these are just five of the things we picked that we'd love to see adopted more broadly in our home country.

7 Myths About Living in Denmark Debunked | the truth about expat life Robe Trotting 2024-09-04 | Debunking 7 Myths About Living in Denmark for Expats and Internationals#denmark #expatlife #denmarklife If you're thinking about moving to Denmark, or just curious about what life in Denmark is like - this video is for you. We are debunking 7 common myths about living in Denmark that many expats and travelers hear online, in books, and from politicians. Our goals is to give you the real story on what it’s like to live in Denmark.It’s true that Denmark has a high English proficiency rate, but that doesn’t mean everyone you meet will communicate fluently in English. We discuss why it’s important to adjust your English-speaking pace and level compared to how you might communicate in the US or UK.While Denmark is known for its 37.5-hour work week and generous 5 weeks of vacation, not everyone enjoys these working conditions without exception. We talk about the reality of Danish work culture. It's good but not as universally perfect as you might think.Denmark is often discussed as a homogenous country, but about 10% of its residents are not ethnically Danish? We cover the diverse society that exists in Denmark, including the challenges faced by minorities and the ongoing efforts to promote inclusion, despite pushback from certain citizens and political groups.Denmark’s welfare system is renowned worldwide, but it’s not as all-encompassing as some might believe. We’ll break down what is covered and what is not, how the system is funded (hint: it’s not free), and the trade-offs involved.Former US Ambassador Carla Sands once tweeted that middle-class Danes can't afford cars, but that’s not entirely true. While Denmark does have an incredible biking infrastructure and top-notch public transportation, many families still rely on cars, especially in non-urban areas. We’ll separate fact from fiction regarding cars in Denmark.Denmark is often seen as a near-perfect country, but it’s not without its social issues. We’ll explore the challenges Denmark faces, including inequality, mental health, and even homelessness. Moving to Denmark might reduce stress in your life, but it’s not a cure-all for life’s problems.Denmark is frequently labeled as the happiest country in the world, but there’s more to the story. We discuss the difference between contentment and happiness, and how they're reflected in Danish society.Whether you're an expat considering a move or just curious about Danish culture, this video provides an honest look at what life in Denmark is really like.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content about living in Denmark, expat life, and cross-cultural experiences!🎧 For a deeper conversation, check out our podcast 'What Are You Doing in Denmark' on YouTube and all streaming platforms.➡ WATCH NEXT: Danish Habits We've Picked Up - youtu.be/GdAG7SoL7iM🛒 SHOP our CPH Guides For Your Trip: http://www.thatch.co/@robetrotting⭐ CHEAPEST Way To Book CPH Attractions: bit.ly/3GRWfIg💳 BUY A Copenhagen Card (80+: attractions & transport): bit.ly/43JOdLt🚋 Buy Danish Train Tickets Online: https://www.publictransport.dk/🚲 BIKE WITH DONKEY REPUBLIC: https://www.donkey.bike/download-app/ and use promo code ROBETROTTING for 15% off💸 SEND MONEY INTERNATIONALLY?

Why Denmark Rejects the EURO but not the European Union Robe Trotting 2024-08-28 | #Denmark #Danmark #DanskWill Denmark Ever Adopt the Euro? Exploring Denmark's Unique Relationship with the EUWhy does Denmark, an EU member since 1973, continue to use the Danish krone (DKK) instead of adopting the euro, the official currency used by 20 of the 27 EU member states? This video takes you through Denmark’s unique relationship with the European Union and the euro, shedding light on the historical, political, and economic factors behind Denmark’s choice to keep its currency.The euro was introduced in 1999 to simplify trade, promote economic integration, and stabilize economies across Europe. However, Denmark remains an outlier despite its deep involvement in the EU. We explore the origins of this decision, starting with the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, which laid the groundwork for the euro and sparked debates across Europe, particularly in Denmark.In 1992, Denmark faced a pivotal moment when the Maastricht Treaty was narrowly rejected by Danish voters, leading to the historic Edinburgh Agreement. This agreement secured Denmark's opt-outs from key areas of the treaty, allowing the country to remain in the EU while retaining control over critical policies, including defense, justice, and crucially, the adoption of the euro.Through a second referendum in 1993, Denmark accepted the Maastricht Treaty with these opt-outs in place, ensuring that the Danish krone would remain the national currency. We dive into the specifics of these opt-outs, especially the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) opt-out, which continues to allow Denmark to peg the krone to the euro.Why does Denmark continue to resist adopting the euro? We examine the economic and political implications, including the loss of national control, economic disparities, and political tensions that come with a common currency. Denmark’s decision to maintain the krone offers a unique balance, providing economic stability while preserving national sovereignty.This video also looks at the changing landscape of Denmark’s opt-outs. For example, Denmark recently abolished its opt-out from the EU's defense policy in 2022, following a national referendum. We discuss how these shifts reflect Denmark’s evolving relationship with the EU, yet how the euro opt-out remains firmly in place.With Denmark’s skepticism toward the EU still high compared to other member states, what does the future hold? While Denmark is unlikely to leave the EU, the adoption of the euro seems equally unlikely. Denmark’s current arrangement, which allows it to reap the benefits of a stable currency while maintaining monetary independence, appears to offer the best of both worlds.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content about living in Denmark, expat life, and cross-cultural experiences!🎧 For a deeper conversation, check out our podcast 'What Are You Doing in Denmark' on YouTube and all streaming platforms.➡ WATCH NEXT: Danish Habits We've Picked Up - youtu.be/GdAG7SoL7iM🛒 SHOP our CPH Guides For Your Trip: http://www.thatch.co/@robetrotting⭐ CHEAPEST Way To Book CPH Attractions: bit.ly/3GRWfIg💳 BUY A Copenhagen Card (80+: attractions & transport): bit.ly/43JOdLt🚋 Buy Danish Train Tickets Online: https://www.publictransport.dk/🚲 BIKE WITH DONKEY REPUBLIC: https://www.donkey.bike/download-app/ and use promo code ROBETROTTING for 15% off💸 SEND MONEY INTERNATIONALLY?

🚨 The Denmark Tourist Mistake our Friends Still Make #visitdenmark Robe Trotting 2024-08-21 | ⌚️ What time do kitchens start to close where you are? One of the biggest Copenhagen tourist mistakes that even our friends and family make when they visit is thinking they can go out to eat without a reservation at any hour of the day.

A sit-down meal or even food in a pub can be almost impossible to find after a certain hour 🍽️ This is true, even in a capital city like Copenhagen.🛫 Visitors from other cultures often miss this fact when preparing for their trips and can arrive with only street food and convenience meals like fast food available.We made a full video about the things we miss about American life while living abroad in Denmark linked to this video.📱Video Title: Things Americans Miss While Living in Denmark🗓️ Date Uploaded: 20 August 2024

👕🇩🇰 How to Dress for Summer in Copenhagen (what to pack if you travel to Denmark) #denmark Robe Trotting 2024-06-25 | ✨ What should you pack for Copenhagen? 👇I get asked this question a lot and there’s almost no good answer because the ever-changing and hard-to-predict weather makes it hard to advise.🧳 Still, there are some clear tips and a brief packing list that will keep you happy if you travel to Denmark in the summer and visit Copenhagen.1) Dress for the weather: this will mean packing clothes for rain, warm temperatures, and chilly days - because you’re likely to get them all, even on a short trip ☔️2) Layers are your friend 🧥 when you’re not in direct sunlight it can feel about cooler than the temperature. The secret is to dress with layers you can take on or off - it can be annoying but you’re ready for everything.3) Rainproof your wardrobe and accessories: it will probably rain, and you’ll probably hear someone tell you there’s “no bad weather, only bad clothing” so make sure you have good clothing 👢4) Danes dress in a practical way: people in Copenhagen have adapted their wardrobes to their lifestyle - so that’s a lot of outdoor activity, biking, and walking 🚴 Wearing sturdy shoes, dark clothes, and stretchy fabric will keep you comfortable throughout the day.5) Packing list: my described clothing in this video will get you through most days in Copenhagen: shorts and pants (even in the middle of summer), waterproof items (bags, shoes, and rain gear), casual outfits (even for a dinner out you will see many guests in denim jeans and short sleeves), and in the evening you will need a hoodie or a light jacket.#copenhagen #visitcopenhagen #visitdenmark #visitdenmark🇩🇰 #copenhagenstyle #traveltips #danishstyle

Paying attention to your mental health can be difficult whatever your situation, but for internationals in Denmark there can be an extra layer of hardship.

Habits that make us feel VERY Danish after living in Denmark for 7 years Robe Trotting 2024-03-20 | Habits that make us feel VERY Danish after living in Denmark for 7 years#denmark #danmark #copenhagen In this video, we discuss five habits we've developed while living in Denmark that make us feel VERY Danish. These are the little things that have changed us over time and make us realize... we are getting more deeply integrated into Danish culture than we ever expected.Over time, we knew that these our lifestyle would change from moving to Denmark. Still, it's very interesting for us to see just how many things we never expected to pick up and adapt to have become our "new normal". From the things we do in our everyday life to the way we schedule and spend our free time - they've all been profoundly influenced from living in Denmark.We made this video while walking around the streets of Copenhagen and enjoying the sunshine en route to Nyhavn.

How does Janteloven impact you at work, school, and in Danish society? Robe Trotting 2024-03-18 | Derek and Annie are once again joined by comedian, Conrad Molden, to discuss Janteloven. The three practice ‘Jante Math’ (a spin on the online trend of ‘Girl Math’) by praising each other’s achievements and downplaying them in true Janteloven fashion. Why was it so uncomfortable for them? Discussion about the moment in history that the concept was named helps to unlock some cultural context around these societal rules.The conversation continues around the ways that Janteloven can seep into your life. For foreigners living in Denmark, this is commonly concentrated in school and at work, but is often farther-reaching. Annie shares some Janteloven lessons that her oldest child experienced at school. Derek explains how even picking an apartment when arriving in Denmark was influenced by Janteloven, and Conrad has us cracking up while describing a hypothetical Danish version of MTV Cribs.Watch one of us picking our apartment in Denmark on House Hunters International: amzn.to/4bV6cSY#denmark #danmark #copenhagen #expatindenmark #dansk #lifeindenmark #podcast For more clips and tips on living in Denmark and follow us on social media:Follow the pod on Instagram: instagram.com/waydidpodDerek Hartman Instagram: instagram.com/robetrottingYouTube: youtube.com/c/robetrottingTikTok: tiktok.com/@robetrottingFacebook: facebook.com/robetrottingAnnie SamplesInstagram: instagram.com/annieineventyrland TikTok: tiktok.com/@annieineventyrlandConrad MoldenInstagram: instagram.com/conradmoldencomedyYouTube: youtube.com/c/conradmoldenTikTok: tiktok.com/@conradmolden Facebook: facebook.com/conradmoldenÆØÅ Tour Information: https://www.conradmolden.dk

Is Making Friends in Denmark Like Dating? Robe Trotting 2024-03-13 | This week on What Are You Doing in Denmark, Annie and Derek continue their conversation about making friends in Denmark and why it’s so hard. Annie discusses the mixed emotions of relief and overwhelm she feels when visiting her native United States, and jumping back into a very social culture with different social boundaries. She also explains why her son struggled to socialize with Danish classmates as he transitioned from American schooling to Danish schooling. What did it mean when his teacher described him as “too American for his peers”?Derek explains the reason that you should approach making friends in Denmark the same way you approach dating and defines the word “friend crush”. Annie and Derek offer advice to a listener who describes himself as “quirky” and is concerned about making friends in Denmark if he accepts a job offer there. The show delivers some helpful tips on socializing with Danes and laughs along the way so that you can be fully equipped to handle every social situation.#denmark #expatindenmark #expatlife #expat #danmark #livingindenmarkFor more clips and tips on living in Denmark and follow us on social media:What Are You Doing in Denmark podcast: Instagram: instagram.com/waydidpodWatch these episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2FDerek Hartman: Instagram: instagram.com/robetrottingYouTube: youtube.com/c/robetrottingTikTok: tiktok.com/@robetrottingFacebook: facebook.com/robetrottingAnnie Samples:Instagram: instagram.com/annieineventyrland TikTok: tiktok.com/@annieineventyrlandExpat Insider Survey: internations.org/expat-insider
You Cant Make Friends in Denmark Because Youre a Peach Robe Trotting 2024-03-07 | How do you make friends in a country where locals prefer not to talk to anyone they don’t already know? The Expat Insider Survey ranks Denmark 53rd out of 53 countries in the subcategory of finding friends and 66% of those surveyed reported it challenging to make friends with locals when moving abroad to Denmark. While it’s not impossible to make connections in Denmark, those numbers aren’t made up and this episode will help you defy the odds and understand the reality of moving to Denmark without a friend network.Annie and Derek break down the cultural reasons behind Denmark’s difficult friendship-making landscape. As a mother of four, Annie sheds some light on the way Danes are brought up to prefer a smaller network of friends and may not have room for more. Derek explains the practical reasons why Danes can appear cold to those from other cultures with a fruity analogy that a couple of old men with PhDs came up with. Is it going to help you make new friends? No guarantees, but will you walk away from this episode feeling a little more connected and less alone? Yes!And make sure to follow because next week we’ll be back in your feed to continue the conversation around friendship in Denmark and answer some listener questions on the topic with tips on socializing with Danes.#denmark #copenhagen #danmark #lifeindenmark #livingindenmark #expatindenmark #expatlife For more clips and tips on living in Denmark and follow us on social media:What Are You Doing in Denmark podcast: Instagram: instagram.com/waydidpodYouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2FDerek Hartman: Instagram: instagram.com/robetrottingYouTube: youtube.com/c/robetrottingTikTok: tiktok.com/@robetrottingFacebook: facebook.com/robetrottingAnnie Samples:Instagram: instagram.com/annieineventyrland TikTok: tiktok.com/@annieineventyrlandExpat Insider Survey: internations.org/expat-insider🎧 Listen to What Are You Doing in Denmark anywhere you get your podcasts: feeds.acast.com/public/shows/what-are-you-doing-in-denmark

Can DENMARK Have it Both Ways on Minimum Wage? Robe Trotting 2024-01-23 | In this video we take a look Denmark's stance on minimum wage for Danish workers. In fact, there is no minimum wage - as part of a system that has historically benefited workers. We take a look at the labor model in Denmark and how it evolved over time. There are also many instances of this model being over-simplified through internet memes and soundbites. In a darker way, the lack of a minimum wage is sometimes exploited by industries like high end restaurants. In particular, Danish restaurant Noma has been criticized for relying on unpaid labor.The European Union has enacted policy that contradicts the Danish model (and the Swedish model) for labor rates and wages. This has led to law suits and potentially future litigation#denmark #laborunion #minimumwagesact #sweden #eu #europe ➡ WATCH NEXT: How Denmark Took Down McDonalds - youtu.be/YufOHFaIydc🛒 SHOP our CPH Guides For Your Trip: http://www.thatch.co/@robetrotting⭐ CHEAPEST Way To Book CPH Attractions: bit.ly/3GRWfIg💳 BUY A Copenhagen Card (80+: attractions & transport): bit.ly/43JOdLt🚋 Buy Danish Train Tickets Online: https://www.publictransport.dk/🚲 BIKE WITH DONKEY REPUBLIC: https://www.donkey.bike/download-app/ and use promo code ROBETROTTING for 15% off💸 SEND MONEY INTERNATIONALLY?

😮🇩🇰 Things That are Changing in Denmark in 2024: part 1 #denmark #2024 Robe Trotting 2024-01-14 | Were you as shocked as we were when HM Queen Margrethe II announced she was stepping down as Denmark’s monarch? She announced her abdication in her annual New Year’s Eve address and will be passing the crown to her son, who will be titled King Frederik X, on the 14th of January 2024.This week we made a full video on YT of all the changes that will be coming to Denmark in 2024, and we also wanted to share them in a series here. From Danish transportation, to work, to taxes, and fireworks - the year of 2024 will usher in some new rules, laws, and policies in Denmark.
🚪✈️ The Secret Door at Copenhagen Airport #cph #travel Robe Trotting 2024-01-13 | 🇩🇰✈️ I just learned about this secret door and Copenhagen Airport hack and had to share it. I wish I knew about it sooner as someone who doesn’t always do well when walking through heavy fragrances and smells. It’s because I have always struggled with allergies and asthma, and when I travel it can be triggered. I’m lucky I haven’t had any major issues, but this little door on the left, just past security, will make sure I never do when I travel. What an awesome feature by Copenhagen Airport, which has already won International Awards as Northern Europe’s Best Airport and Best Airport Security. In case you didn’t know about this feature, I just had to share it for those who need it or travel with friends and family who do 😊 #denmark #copenhagen #airport
DENMARK in 2024 Will Be Different... Heres How Robe Trotting 2024-01-12 | Denmark will be different in 2024... and here's how! In this video, we take a look at the changes on the horizon for Denmark in 2024. Many things will be different about life in Denmark, and we wanted to help others navigate the changes that are coming for Denmark this year.Besides the new king of Denmark, things are changing throughout Danish life. We can expect that getting around Denmark will include higher public transportation costs, but some areas will see increased subsidies. Property taxes in Denmark will be calculated in a different way with a major impact on new home buyers in Denmark and potential impacts on housing prices in Denmark. Working in Denmark will be different in 2024 as well. For foreigners living in Denmark, there are more jobs on the positive list, and everyone may be subject to new EU work hours record laws. Some new laws have been proposed with ramifications for those starting a family in Denmark. Others will impact how holidays are celebrated and one Danish holiday will go missing in 2024.Overall, living in Denmark should be as good as always this year, but there are some significant changes on the way that we can all be knowledgable of now.➡ WATCH NEXT: Why Do Danes Love Fireworks? - youtu.be/0_45GF_htqI🛒 SHOP our CPH Guides For Your Trip: http://www.thatch.co/@robetrotting⭐ CHEAPEST Way To Book CPH Attractions: bit.ly/3GRWfIg💳 BUY A Copenhagen Card (80+: attractions & transport): bit.ly/43JOdLt🚋 Buy Danish Train Tickets Online: https://www.publictransport.dk/🚲 BIKE WITH DONKEY REPUBLIC: https://www.donkey.bike/download-app/ and use promo code ROBETROTTING for 15% off💸 SEND MONEY INTERNATIONALLY?

👑🇩🇰 New Monogram Designs for Crown Prince Frederik #satire #denmark #royal Robe Trotting 2024-01-10 | 👑🇩🇰 When Danish Queen Margrethe II announced her abdication on New Years Eve, it surprised a lot of us. Last week we learned what come next - when we’ll have to start saying “His Majesty King Frederik X” and all the details behind it. This included learning that a new monogram was being designed for Crown Prince Frederik’s upcoming title change. That got me thinking… what will the new monogram look like, and what if it was your job to design it? Could you imagine working with HM The Queen on anything design related considering she’s a well-celebrated designer and artist herself? How would you redesign a monogram for the oldest European monarchy in the world while keeping up with the times? 😂 Okay… it was also just some dumb humor that snowballed into a little sketch!Disclosure: In case it has to be said, this is satire#denmark #danishroyalfamily #danish

I miss a lot of foods from the United States, and when I fly back to Copenhagen, I fill my suitcase with a few items. These are a few things that hold me over when I need a taste of American food or something else I can’t find in Denmark.What do you think of my picks, and what do you bring back with you if you’re also a foreigner living in Denmark or a Dane who travels abroad? 😃#expatlife #denmark #danmark #americansnacks #americanfood #american #usa #america
🇩🇰🎆 Denmark and New Year’s Eve Fireworks 😯 Robe Trotting 2023-12-30 | 🇩🇰🎆 Everywhere I’ve lived fireworks have been a part of New Years celebrations, but for Danes celebrating Nytår - the fireworks are NEXT LEVEL. If you’re new to Denmark or experiencing a Danish New Year’s Eve for the first time, you may not be prepared for the fireworks. Mostly, the way that they’re fired off in the streets with inconsistent safety precautions. If you didn’t know any better, you may think it’s just how things are and everyone loves it equally, but the polling suggests otherwise. In fact, the public opinion on fireworks is set to change the regulations and increase restrictions for next year. We explored this topic and all the cultural and historic reasons behind Denmark’s fireworks fascination in a YT video this week. Whatever your thought are, we wish you all a God Nytår and a safe and happy celebration.#denmark #danmark #dansk
