Free Healthcare in Denmark: My First-Hand Experience

February 25, 2016 By Sage 36 Comments

Free Healthcare in Denmark

Free healthcare in Denmark seems to be a hot topic from the lips of Bernie Sanders to the news these days, so I thought I’d write a post from the front lines about this much lauded free Danish healthcare. First, let’s get one thing straight. Free healthcare in Denmark is not free. Danish healthcare is… Continue Reading

Our New Dream: An Urban Backyard Homestead

Hunting My Real Estate Dream: A Big Aarhus City Apartment

February 15, 2016 By Sage 14 Comments

Aarhus City Apartment - Entrance

A big Aarhus city apartment only comes on the market once in a blue moon. A typical Aarhus city apartment has one to three rooms. You can find some four and five room apartments, but six or seven rooms is practically unheard of. So, imagine my glee when this seven room apartment came on the market in the… Continue Reading

Mid-Century Danish Design: Hunting for Houses in Aarhus Denmark

Houses in Aarhus Denmark - 1960s Stairs

I’ve slowly come around to Robert’s preference for a house over an apartment, and our hunt for houses in Aarhus Denmark is in full swing! When I first moved to Denmark in 2010, I bought the apartment that was my muse for nearly four years. Then I moved into Robert’s place where the lack of storage, privacy,… Continue Reading

We’re house hunting again!

December 29, 2015 By Sage 25 Comments

If everything had gone according to plan, I’d be in the midst of a packing frenzy, and we’d be picking up the keys to our Georgian Townhouse two weeks from yesterday. Instead, we’ll be sipping martinis on the Mediterranean, which I think is a decent alternative. Now that the dust has settled and we’ve had a chance to regroup, we’re… Continue Reading

June 1, 2015 By Sage 16 Comments

Ruinart Champagne

We live in a country with one of the highest household debt to income ratios in the world, but the other day, Robert and I made the final deposit against our mortgage, and became 100% debt free! This is the second mortgage I’ve paid off, and it feels pretty much the same as it did the first time…… Continue Reading

Five Years an Expat

May 9, 2015 By Sage 46 Comments

Expat Life Denmark

In two days, it will be exactly five years since a very anxious lady (me) and her ginger cat (Opie) took a leap of faith and boarded a plane out of Boston on a one-way ticket to Denmark. One year in, the experience of living abroad was still new, and I was uncertain as to whether I’d… Continue Reading

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
