I’m completely in love with the neighborhood vibe of Frederiksbjerg. The location is more convenient than I thought it would be and it’s mostly silent except for church bells and birds.

A $60 Online Divorce… the (Official) End of Us
Getting divorced against my will in a foreign country where I didn’t know the process and am not fluent in the language was daunting to say the least.

As if being dumped by my husband less than three years into our marriage wasn’t horrible enough, I was living in a country where I don’t have a local support system.
