👋 Have we met? I’m Derek and I help people make Denmark make sense. With only a few weeks of notice and next to zero planning, I moved to Copenhagen in 2017. Back then, this platform was only people sharing photos. Aside from a few blogs (remember those?), there wasn’t much social media help for people moving to Denmark. A few years later, a friend from high school reached out. We hadn’t talked in years, but he was planning a move abroad and wanted to hear about my experience. Unfortunately, we couldn’t coordinate a time to chat before his family relocated. A year into his expat assignment, I finally got ahold of him only to learn they were moving back home. The cultural shift was too much, and the adaptation wasn’t clicking. While my advice might not have completely changed their trajectory, it could have helped them find a softer landing or better prepare for what was to come. That is exactly why I started this account. My goal is to: 🇩🇰 Help you understand Danish culture and the unwritten rules of living here. 🇩🇰 Share the authentic highs and lows of living abroad (because it’s not all pastries and cargo bikes). 🇩🇰 Remind you that you’re not alone as you navigate the good and the bad of life in Denmark. I do this through near-daily tips, stories, memes, jokes, and sketches. Plus, every Tuesday I drop new episodes of @waydidpod on all podcast platforms/YouTube, alongside a deep catalog of @youtube videos dating back to 2020. My DMs are always open if you need advice, have questions, or just want to share your own experience. Building this supportive community has been the absolute best part of creating content. If you’re not following yet, take a look around and tap that follow button if you like what you see. I’ll have more for you tomorrow! 😃

Okay, this is pretty dang cool 🥹🎙️🇪🇺 WAYDID has been named one of EUROWAVES’ Top 25 Best European Podcasts and we’re a little blown away. Getting recognized by people in the European podcasting world is such an honor, ESPECIALLY because there are so many brilliant podcasts out there doing really phenomenal things. Truth is… that recognition is the cherry on top, because the thing that keeps us making WAYDID every single week is you, our community. We started this podcast to help people make Denmark make sense and to help people build a life here when they might sometimes feel like they’re doing it alone. If an episode has ever made you think “Wow, so it’s not just me,” helped you understand something about Denmark, or made you laugh about an experience you were otherwise ready to scream about… then that’s exactly why we’re here. There’s something pretty special and almost necessary about hearing someone else put words to an experience you thought only you were having. We hope WAYDID gives you a little bit of that every week and that somewhere in all these conversations, you see a bit of yourself. So thank YOU! Thank you for listening, watching, sharing, sending us messages, coming to live shows, recommending us to your friends, and generally allowing three people with very different relationships to Denmark to keep talking about Denmark on the internet. And thank you to EUROWAVES for including us in this list of superstar shows. We’re genuinely honored. The recognition is amazing, but knowing WAYDID helps people feel a little less alone in Denmark is the biggest reward 🇩🇰❤️

🎙️Some of the best advice we’ve ever shared on What Are You Doing in Denmark didn’t come from us, it came from some of our smartest (and funniest) Danish guests. We pulled together a handful of our favorite moments into a brand new episode, and in this compilation, you’ll hear advice from Sofie Hagen, Cecilia Bau, Mathias Bach, and Steven Feraru on everything from making friends and learning Danish to navigating Danish bureaucracy. Derek, Brooke, and Conrad reflect on what pieces of advice they have applied since the original recordings and what we still need to work on. Along the way you’ll get a lot of laughs with tips on finding your place in Denmark, and why standing out might actually be your biggest strength. If you don’t yet have Danish friends to show you the way and share their wisdom, please borrow ours! The best part? If one of these conversations leaves you wanting more, we’ve linked each guest’s original full episode in the show notes so you can dive even deeper. So check out this episode wherever you get your podcasts, on the Robe Trotting YouTube channel, and via @cphpost Show: What Are You Doing in Denmark @waydidpod Episode: 164 | What Danes Wish Internationals Knew Hosts: @derekhartmandk @brookeblackjust @conradmoldencomedy With clips from some of our favorite guests: @sofiehagendk @thiasbach @cecilie_bau and @stevenferaru

Have you ever wondered whether something was a relationship issue... or just a cultural difference? This week on What Are You Doing in Denmark, we answered a message from a listener who’s been wondering exactly that in her relationship with a Danish partner. Along the way, Brooke lets us in on what it was like dating and marrying a Dane while living in her home country and now his. Derek shares the pros and cons of living in Denmark with a partner who is non-Danish and from the same native culture. While it seems like relationship complexities defy borders, this episode does offer plenty of advice, relatable experiences, and food for thought and it turned into one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about what it feels like to rebuild your identity in another country and why that invisible work can be so exhausting. Is the problem with one of them or simply the reality of bringing two cultures together? (Listen and let us know) 🎧 Find the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts, watch it on the Robe Trotting YouTube channel or find it via @cphpost Show: What Are You Doing in Denmark @waydidpod Episode No: 165 Title: Is Dating a Dane This Hard?

➡️ What if you move to Denmark for work and then lose your job? No one wants to go into an international work assignment thinking that way, but it’s good to know your options if the unfortunate situation occurs. That’s why we sat down for an explainer on the subject at the request of a listener. Not everyone moves to Denmark under the same conditions and status (EU vs non-EU, family reunification vs work visa) so you should always get professional advice from an attorney or the proper government agency. Still, this episode will cover the basics and give you the basics so that you can chart your course to a smooth landing if you’re left without a job in Denmark. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, watch on YouTube, or find it on @cphpost Episode Number: 141 Episode Name: What Happens if you Lose Your Job in Denmark?

🎧 Podcast recomendado para Portugueses na Dinamarca 🇵🇹🇩🇰 ➡️ Parte 1: Sistema de Saúde 🇩🇰 e desafios para estrangeiros! Acabou de sair o primeiro de dois episódios de um podcast muito interessante sobre o sistema de saúde dinamarquês, pensado especialmente para quem vive aqui como estrangeiro. No episódio “Navigating Healthcare in Denmark as an International”, os anfitriões conversam com uma médica britânica baseada em Copenhaga sobre como funciona o sistema de saúde na prática para quem chega de outro país! 💡 Principais pontos abordados: 🩺 O papel do médico de família (GP): Na Dinamarca, o médico de clínica geral é o ponto de entrada principal para quase tudo: consultas, referências para especialistas, exames, etc. Sem ele, normalmente não consegues avançar no sistema. ⏱️ Consultas curtas e estilo de comunicação: Muitos estrangeiros estranham a sensação de que as consultas são rápidas e objetivas. A forma como os médicos comunicam aqui pode ser diferente do que estamos habituados em países mediterrânicos e pode parecer frio ou prático demais, mas faz parte do estilo dinamarquês. 🤔 Percepções e mal-entendidos culturais: Nem sempre é fácil entender as respostas ou a lógica de certas práticas médicas, por exemplo, porque alguns tratamentos parecem escassos ou porque os antibióticos não são receitados tão facilmente como noutras culturas. 🔎 Dicas práticas: O episódio também fala sobre como defender melhor os teus direitos de paciente, como preparar-te para consultas e como explicar os teus sintomas de forma mais clara, sem te sentires “hipocondríaco”. 👉 Este primeiro episódio dá uma visão geral do sistema. O segundo, que sai em breve, vai focar-se em experiências com crianças, cuidados de emergência e as ferramentas digitais que vais precisar para navegar o sistema de saúde. Boa escuta! 😊 @waydidpod
