  • This week, Nanna Hauch aka the Expat Hero, joins Derek and Annie to address an important topic - mental health for foreigners living in Denmark. She discusses the unique mental health challenges that the international community in Denmark is faced with. Nanna brings her expertise as a licensed psychotherapist to the What Are You Doing in Denmark community and offers advice on a wide range of issues faced by international families including Derek and Annie.


    Nanna describes how her own experiences living abroad and repatriating influenced her desire to help other expats face mental health struggles. This episode dives deep into the issues faced by couples who move abroad from one partner’s career. Derek explains why he often uses the word “untethered” to describe his experience of living abroad. A listener question evokes the challenges that children face when they’re uprooted to new countries and both Annie and Nanna detail the toll it can take on third culture kids and the parents who love them from their own very personal stories.

  • Lyndsay Jensen, the founder and editor of The International, is back in the studio with Annie and Derek to talk about the political changes in how foreigners in Denmark are treated and perceived. She recently spoke at FolkemĂždet on the needs of internationals living in Denmark and their important place in the Danish economy and society at large.


    In the discussion, Lyndsay references her eldest son, Connor, who moved to Denmark as a child and has been shaped by multiple cultures throughout his life. It seemed only right to have Connor join the conversation and share his experiences with teenage drinking, learning Danish and transitioning into the education system, and the cultural differences he experienced when inviting friends to his home as a kid.


    The conversation was eye-opening to Annie who moved her oldest sons to Denmark and is going through many of these changes in real time.

  • Annie and Derek are joined this week by Lyndsay Jensen, the founder and editor of The International, an online magazine dedicated to helping foreigners living in Denmark find their way. 


    Lyndsay shares her story of moving to Denmark after growing up as a Brit living in South Africa. You could say she’s been an expat her whole life. After a decade of life in South Africa with her Danish husband, she expected a soft landing in Denmark. Instead she found herself in a sink or swim existence.


    After facing the challenges of adjusting and settling into Denmark, she realized she was missing some vital resources to help her transition. That's when she decided to become the resource she was looking for and launched The International.

  • This week, Annie and Derek continue their conversation about making friends in Denmark and why it’s so hard. Annie discusses the mixed emotions of relief and overwhelm she feels when visiting her native United States, and jumping back into a very social culture with different social boundaries. She also explains why her son struggled to socialize with Danish classmates as he transitioned from American schooling to Danish schooling. What did it mean when his teacher described him as “too American for his peers”?


    Derek explains the reason that you should approach making friends in Denmark the same way you approach dating and defines the word “friend crush”. Annie and Derek offer advice to a listener who describes himself as “quirky” and is concerned about making friends in Denmark if he accepts a job offer there. 


    The show delivers some helpful tips on socializing with Danes and laughs along the way so that you can be fully equipped to handle every social situation.

    Expat Insider Survey: https://www.internations.org/expat-insider/

  • How do you make friends in a country where locals prefer not to talk to anyone they don’t already know? The Expat Insider Survey ranks Denmark 53rd out of 53 countries in the subcategory of finding friends and 66% of those surveyed reported it challenging to make friends with locals when moving abroad to Denmark. While it’s not impossible to make connections in Denmark, those numbers aren’t made up and this episode will help you defy the odds and understand the reality of moving to Denmark without a friend network.


    Annie and Derek break down the cultural reasons behind Denmark’s difficult friendship-making landscape. As a mother of four, Annie sheds some light on the way Danes are brought up to prefer a smaller network of friends and may not have room for more. Derek explains the practical reasons why Danes can appear cold to those from other cultures with a fruity analogy that a couple of old men with PhDs came up with. Is it going to help you make new friends? No guarantees, but will you walk away from this episode feeling a little more connected and less alone? Yes!


    And make sure to follow because next week we’ll be back in your feed to continue the conversation around friendship in Denmark and answer some listener questions on the topic with tips on socializing with Danes.

  • Derek and Annie are once again joined by comedian, Conrad Molden, to discuss Janteloven. The three practice ‘Jante Math’ (a spin on the online trend of ‘Girl Math’) by praising each other’s achievements and downplaying them in true Janteloven fashion. Why was it so uncomfortable for them? Discussion about the moment in history that the concept was named helps to unlock some cultural context around these societal rules.


    The conversation continues around the ways that Janteloven can seep into your life. For foreigners living in Denmark, this is commonly concentrated in school and at work, but is often farther-reaching. Annie shares some Janteloven lessons that her oldest child experienced at school. Derek explains how even picking an apartment when arriving in Denmark was influenced by Janteloven, and Conrad has us cracking up while describing a hypothetical Danish version of MTV Cribs.

  • This week Derek and Annie are joined by comedian, Conrad Molden, to tackle a source of culture clash and confusion for people moving to Denmark - Janteloven. The trio define the unofficial “Laws of Jante” and how the social code came to be so pervasive in Danish culture and Scandinavia at large. Particularly, the ramifications for international residents of Denmark are explained.


    Is Janteloven good for Denmark? Does it adversely impact foreigners living in Denmark? What are the pros and cons of this social code of conduct? This episode will give you a deeper understanding of the concept and its place in Danish society. Through these discussions, you’ll have a better understanding of how Danish culture is shaped by Janteloven, a satirical outtake from a fiction book.

  • This week Derek is joined one on one with Diane in Denmark, the incredible life coach from Scotland who now calls Denmark home. Diane explains the habit of winterbathing to a hypothetical American listener and then explains her hot and cold thoughts on various seasonal activities and trends associated with Christmas and New Years from ugly sweaters to dry January. You’ll hear Diane’s story of moving to Denmark for love over 20 years ago and raising a family in a new country and culture.


    We focus on Diane’s lessons from life coaching and how the country of Denmark and Danish culture has influenced her practice. From minimalism to self-care, Danish culture is infused in the work that Diane does as a life coach. We look at the importance of routines, especially for those in their early days of moving to a new country, especially those taking up a new life in Denmark. Diane even gives Derek (and Mike) some sound advice on how to build routines, set up time management methods, and declutter in 2024.

  • This week actor and comedian, Jeff Bond, joins Mike and Derek in the studio. He shares the story of how his life in Denmark came to be from a part in the Crazy Christmas Cabaret, one of the most successful theater productions in Europe with an annual home at Glassalen in Tivoli Gardens.


    Jeff, Derek, and Mike share their most annoying jobs during the holiday season and all of the things they love and despise about Christmas. Jeff shares his experiences working as an actor and comedian in Denmark versus the UK. He explains the lessons he learned while working with a British acting company and performing in the Danish theater scene to a mostly Danish audience - lessons that have helped him rotate between performing Shakespeare and stand up comedy in Denmark.


    It would have been a crime to have Jeff in the studio and not ask him to display his acting talents - which he did by performing a dramatic monologue to one of the most iconic Christmas movie scenes.
