Episode description

This week, Annie and Derek are joined by Brooke Black, an American mom who flew from Los Angeles to rural Denmark during the pandemic and never left. Brooke is married to a Dane and has spent years living as a cross-cultural family in the States, Jutland, and Copenhagen. Recently, she discussed the culture shocks around summer in Denmark with readers of Business Insider, and in this episode she expands on her article.

Brooke explains how she still struggles with fully unplugging from work during summer holiday, how time away from professional obligations shapes her family, and the adjustments she's made while adapting to a Danish lifestyle.

Don’t forget to share this podcast with any friends who have made the move to Denmark.
