American couple shares what’s it like living in Denmark and enjoying the European lifestyle

I’ve been living in Copenhagen, Denmark since 2017. It’s been a little over 3 years and I just celebrated third Denmark Day, the anniversary of my final passport stamp as a non-resident. It was surreal booking that one-way plane ticket from Philadelphia to Copenhagen, but living here has been amazing.

Hi! I'm Trisha. I didn’t quit my job to travel the world. I made a job out of traveling and you can do it, too! I’ve been traveling the world non-stop for 14 years now. I’d like to believe I am not traveling anymore – I just choose to be somewhere else all the time.
