Two Years In

May 10, 2012 By Sage 9 Comments

Tomorrow will be two years since Opie and I left Boston on that one-way ticket.  I put on a brave face that day, but I was terrified of starting over, and afraid that I’d regret giving up everything to chase this life less ordinary. It’s been gratifying.  It’s been a struggle.  It’s tested me on… Continue Reading

Process hazy, try again…

September 26, 2011 By Sage 9 Comments

(alternately titled, we don’t know our asses from our elbows) I cannot go through another bike to bus, walk, bike to office, repeat in reverse winter. I live in Scandinavia. The winters are frigid. It’s windy. It snows. It rains. I have asthma. The buses to and from work run once an hour and I… Continue Reading

The One Year Mark

May 20, 2011 By Sage 12 Comments

Last Friday, it was one year ago that Opie and I boarded a plane out of Boston on a one-way ticket to Denmark. Living and working in Europe is the experience of a lifetime. This past year has been exciting, amazing, scary, fun, overwhelming, frustrating, and so many other things. On the subject of work…Even… Continue Reading

Anger

February 23, 2011 By Sage 18 Comments

When I signed the contract to move to Denmark, I was told that my employer would provide income tax assistance with my foreign return for the first 2 years. Since the Danish system calculates our taxes automatically and I am living in Denmark, I thought that the “foreign return” was the US return. Except, I… Continue Reading

No Habla Dansk

August 5, 2010 By Sage 6 Comments

Last night I received a letter from the Sprogcenter (language school). I’m trying to enroll in Danish classes, so obviously I can’t speak or read Danish, but the letter is in Danish. I totally get that I’m living in Denmark, and I don’t expect most things to be in English, but I’m really trying to… Continue Reading

Blå Sko

June 21, 2010 By Sage 5 Comments

I cannot overemphasize the importance of practical shoes in my life right now. For more years than I’m going to count, my daily footwear has been along the lines of those Kate Spade leopard print pumps at the top of my blog. I was a shoe hound long before Carrie Bradshaw took the obsession mainstream… Continue Reading

Bringing Opie Home

June 7, 2010 By Sage 4 Comments

In light of this recent BP fiasco, I’ve actually been happy not having a car. Yes, I know that by riding the bus, shopping, and begging rides from friends, I’m still a consumer of oil, but consuming on a smaller scale has taken the sting out of suddenly going from 2 cars to none. There… 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!
