Moving abroad vs. Traveling: the difference and why moving abroad is worth it - with Oscar in Denmark


Listen Later

In this episode, I am speaking to my guest Oscar who moved from England to Denmark for his studies.

Listen to this episode if you want to learn:

  • Why moving abroad differs from travelling to different countries
  • How to overcome financial challenges living abroad 
  • How to juggle being away from family and friends 
  • The struggles of learning Danish
  • How Danes tick and what makes the Danish culture special
  • How to make friends with Danes 
  • Tips from Oscar on how to move abroad

These are my favorite quotes of the episode:

  • "When you go somewhere to visit for vacation, as you say for holidays, you only see the top surface, the top layer of everything. Whereas when you live there you see the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of things" (06.11 min)
  • "It is not out of the question to be living here and only speaking English" (15.16 min)
  • "I would 100% recommend moving to Denmark" (34.45 min)
  • "Prepare for the wind and the rain" (36.40 min)
  • "I think we put these mental barriers up to say like why we can't do things. But really look hard and say, what is actually stopping us?"(37.59 min)
