Eye See Copenhagen

Hi, welcome to Copenhagen! My name is Jim Lind. I moved from Scotland to Copenhagen, Denmark in 2012. In 2015 I started using a live streaming app called Periscope to let people from all over the world see Copenhagen and talk about the history, the architecture, the culture and what it's like living here as an expat. This little intro explains why I've finally decided to start doing Podcasts and the sort of things you can expect to hear about, it isn't ALL about Copenhagen!
