Comments on: Copenhagen to Seattle.

I recently moved from Connecticut to Denmark. I'm on Southern Jutland and as much as I love living in Europe, some days are a real challenge and I just want to pack it in and go home. I totally get the spinach metaphor. I was not fully prepared for the culture shock and I miss the days when I could actually read my mail and chat with people in line at the store. I'm on a 3 year work contract with the option to extend and no matter how long my Danish life lasts, I know I will have changed at the end of it, hopefully for the better. I do love riding my bike, though not so much in the rain ;) I hope you’re enjoying settling back into life in the US. I recently moved from Connecticut to Denmark.

"To infinity, and beyond!" (which just might be deep and heartfelt after all). Here's the the glorious conglomeration of old + new + HOME!
