Beskrivelse

Nothing Like a Dane follows Keri Bloomfield's unexpected journey from New Zealand to Denmark, sparked by a chance meeting with a Dane in Wellington. With her baby in tow, she embarks on a life-changing adventure far from home.

An honest and humorous look at embracing a new life in Denmark through the lens of a Kiwi mum.

The Danish idea of hygge might be famous worldwide, but truly grasping it is another story-unless you happen to be a Viking. When Keri found herself at Auckland International Airport with her four-month-old baby, ready to board a flight, hygge wasn’t on her mind. Looking back, she admits maybe it should have been.

She never imagined that a simple encounter in a busy Wellington bar would lead her to circle the globe, uncertain of when she’d return. Eighteen thousand kilometres away, Denmark awaited-a place where babies nap outdoors, the word for bread is a tongue-twister, and navigating immigration is a challenge in itself.

With sharp wit and a keen eye for cultural quirks, Keri shares the everyday realities of a New Zealander carving out a new life in Denmark. From awkward integration interviews to rye bread blunders, Nothing Like a Dane offers a heartfelt and funny glimpse into adapting to a faraway world.

What did she discover? That life in Denmark isn’t just about hygge and pastries-there’s much more beneath the surface.

What a pleasure to read! Nothing Like a Dane is a very well-written memoir style book that has you laugh (sometimes out loud!), cry, cringe and wonder. Keri Bloomfield writes in a very easy-to-digest way, however with heart, wit and honesty.

The book is perfect for someone who’s planning to move to Denmark, it’s perfect for someone’s who’s already moved here - as it will make you feel you’re definitely not alone - and I even think this book should be a must-read for everyone in Denmark who has anything to do with a foreigner: Be it a partner, a friend, a colleague.

Keri’s book offers great insight into the wonderful and fascinating but at the same time confusing and overwhelming experience that it is to move to this country of hygge and unpronounceable rye bread.

Nothing Like a Dane is informative - full of side notes offering plenty of insider information about Denmark and the Danish culture - but most importantly: It’s an entertaining and heart-warming read.

If you were looking for a recommendation, here you have mine! Don’t hesitate, grab your copy of Nothing Like a Dane right now!

This is a great book to read for expats from English speaking countries. Also for those "non-Danes" that have been living in Denmark "almost for ever". Light-hearted and amusing, like the "kiwis".
