The arrival of Covid in Denmark (and the world) has definitely put the kibosh on my cross-border goose-following. But if you ever have to choose a place to ride out a pandemic, I can recommend Denmark—8 out of 10 stars. It loses 2 stars for not turning it away at the border ;) Almost two… Continue Reading
8 of My Best Curbside Finds
Traditional retail therapy has never been my jam. Then lockdown brought my secondhand shopping to a screeching halt—because non-essential. So I followed the goose into the freegan lifestyle. Freeganism is an alternative lifestyle based on minimal consumption of resources and limited participation in the conventional economy. I’m drawn to the freegan lifestyle for philosophical rather than financial… Continue Reading

Not another expat Christmas alone…
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.
