Things Americans Miss When Living Abroad in a Country Like Denmark | Living in Copenhagen & Expat Life in Denmark

Thinking about moving to Denmark or curious about what life is like for Americans living abroad? In this video, we take a dive deep into the things Americans miss the most when living in a country like Denmark.

We get asked this question so often that we decided to dedicate an entire video about the things that we miss from the USA while living abroad. From food and dining experiences to lifestyle changes, cultural adjustments, and the challenges of adapting to a new environment, there are all kinds of challenges and things we have adapted to. Whether you're like us - an expat living in Copenhagen, considering moving to Denmark, or simply interested in the differences between American and Danish life, this video will give you more of our personal experiences.

What You'll Learn:

🌍 Food & Dining: we discuss the differences in dining culture, such as the lack of 24-hour diners and our hometown favorties.
🛒 Shopping & Consumer Goods: we discuss the conveniences of American shopping that expats miss, from larger supermarkets with extensive selections to the friendly customer service in the US.
🏈 Lifestyle & Culture: We have made major changes in how we watch the sports, entertainment, and holiday traditions that Americans love. Much has changed for us including watching the NFL (or celebrating Thanksgiving). We have made so many adjustments to social norms and etiquette in Denmark.
🚗 Convenience & Accessibility: We explain the transportation and 24/7 services that are more common in the U.S., such as car-centric lifestyles and the convenience of 24-hour stores and pharmacies.
🗣️ Communication & Language: Hear us reflect on the language barriers and communication challenges that expats face in Denmark. We also cover the importance of staying connected to American media, news, and cultural references.
👪 Family & Social Connections: This one seems the most obvious, but you'll hear how distance affects family ties and social networks. We talk about how this makes it difficult to maintain close relationships, and impacts our lives as internationals living abroad.

Join us as we explore these topics and share personal anecdotes and experiences about what it's really like to live in Denmark as Americans. Whether you're a Dane curious about American expats' perspectives or an international looking to move to Denmark, this video is packed with useful insights and our personal reflections.
