My new (vintage) apartment!

February 7, 2018 By Sage 34 Comments

My Vintage Apartment Denmark

As a college student in an old New England mill town, I spent much of the 90s living in converted Victorian mansions well past their prime. Since then, I’ve property-lusted after places like Charlize Theron’s eclectic Victorian apartment in Sweet November, Anne Hathaway’s bohemian studio in Love and Other Drugs, and Amelie’s timeworn Montmartre flat….

Accepting divorce and moving on… what’s next?

Accepting Divorce and Moving On

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. All while having to decide within like a week whether to stay in Denmark or move back to the States. I had to quickly… Continue Reading

Here’s where our love story ends…

Unexpected Divorce

We did that dance for months. I jumped through hoop after hoop trying to save myself from the trauma of an unwanted and unexpected divorce, and hoping that he’d love me again. My heart broke a bit more each time we went out and he didn’t hold my hand. He’d always held my hand. I… Continue Reading

Sudden Divorce

My life started unraveling on a Thursday morning this past July, barely four years to the day I’d met Robert, the Englishman I was madly in love with and thought I’d be sharing the rest of my life with. Like most days, I’d fed Opie, made a cup of coffee, looked over the day’s projects,… Continue Reading

Not another expat Christmas alone…

December 27, 2017 By Sage 8 Comments

Expat Christmas Alone @ Hallo Hostel Aarhus

It’s fun living abroad, until you’re facing yet another expat Christmas alone. A lot of expats go home for Christmas, but many can’t or don’t. Others come from cultures that either don’t celebrate Christmas on the 24th and 25th or don’t celebrate at all. So for many expats, one of the most looked forward to times… Continue Reading

Five American Desserts You Just Have to Try

December 2, 2017 By Sage 13 Comments

American Desserts

I’ve been a bit lax in blogging to say the least, but it’ll all make sense very soon. That said, I had a wonderful time visiting my sister! We ate everything I’d been missing, got mani/pedis, and made up for lost time thrift shopping. I even scored a Diane von Furstenberg dress for $5.49!!! One… Continue Reading

Five American Foods Expats Miss (or I do, anyway)

September 19, 2017 By Sage 20 Comments

American Foods Expats Miss

In less than 48 hours, I’m going back to the States for the first time in over 6 years! It’ll be a short stay (practically a fly-by), but I’m looking forward to seeing my sister, and my nieces who were kids when I left but who are now twenty-somethings with jobs and boyfriends and cars!… 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!
