We’re house hunting again!

December 29, 2015 By Sage 25 Comments

We’re house hunting again!

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

The time we almost moved to England…

November 20, 2015 By Sage 35 Comments

The time we almost moved to England…

My last post didn’t tell the whole story of our anniversary trip. It’s true we’d gone to Lincolnshire so that Robert could show me a bit of England outside of London, and it’s true that we fell in love with the place. We fell so hard that we looked at real estate, and fell even harder for a Grade… Continue Reading

Denmark Immigration Visa: 5 years & a bit… I’m finally European!

Denmark Immigration Visa: 5 years & a bit… I’m finally European!

Well, sort of. Marrying Robert has given me the gift of permanent residency in Denmark, and it’s transferrable to other countries! I’ve got a golden ticket to knock around Europe for the rest of my life :-) My initial Denmark immigration visa had an expiration date and was tied to a specific job, so if I’d changed… Continue Reading

Tips for Moving Abroad Alone: 5 Things I Wish I’d Considered

Becoming an expat was uncharted territory for me. None of my friends or family had studied abroad, few had even traveled abroad, so when I decided to move abroad alone, I was truly in it alone. I’ve lived in Denmark for nearly five years now, and feel qualified to offer tips for moving abroad alone to… Continue Reading

Full Circle

Full Circle

Four years and sixteen days ago, I finally got the keys to Vesterled.  My shipping container was still somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic and I remember sitting on the floor drinking that bottle of champagne, still in disbelief that I’d actually pulled the whole thing off! I have a similar feeling tonight, for… Continue Reading

Best Laid Plans

Best Laid Plans

Dismantling my shabby chic chick pad has been hard on me.  It’s where Opie and I started over, and where I discovered that I’m stronger and more capable than I’d ever imagined.  It was a project that allowed me to choose the bones and to create a beautiful home from the ground up, on my terms. … Continue Reading

Going once, going twice…

June 9, 2014 By Sage 13 Comments

Going once, going twice…

 and sold!!!! The contract became final last week and I didn’t want to jinx it by posting prematurely. Man, it’s been a tough labor, but the ink is dry and I’m handing over the keys at the end of the month! It’s bittersweet, but mostly sweet. I’ve had enough time to make my peace with… 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!
