About this listen

The Danish concept of hygge is a wonderful thing. Even if most fail miserably when they try to pronounce or explain its true essence. Unless you’re a viking, of course.

As Keri stood in the departure lounge of Auckland International Airport with her four-month-old baby searching for her flight on the board, hygge wasn’t on her radar. In hindsight, she agrees it probably should have been. But she’d never imagined a chance encounter with a Dane in a crowded bar in her home city of Wellington would lead her here, a mother, about to circle the globe, with no knowledge of when she'd return home.

Eighteen thousand kilometres away, a new life awaited her in Denmark. A country where babies sleep outside, the word for bread is seemingly impossible to pronounce, and a country in which immigration challenges abound.

A witty observer of cultural nuances, Keri reveals the day-to-day realities of a New Zealander living her best life in Denmark. From integration interrogations to rye bread misdemeanors, Nothing Like a Dane provides a humorous and heartfelt insight into creating a new life in a faraway land.

And what did she learn? That it’s not all hygge and pastries. Even in Denmark.

I am in a very similar situation so I really connect with this whole story. And I like the author’s blog. But unfortunately her monotone voice throughout the book made the story pretty dull - it’s like you want to shake her to get some emotion. However, easy to pick up where you left off. And girl, your husband should have been WAY more helpful. Some of the things involving him, like sending you to the store alone w a list in danish, or not explaining the kettle dekalk… cringe to listen to. Unfortunately I don’t care to listen to this title again.

Pretty dull

Very entertaining indeed, had me chortling a lot. Very well written, full of humour, she captures every oddity in Scandiland. Am already looking forward to listening a second time. Well done.

Really enjoyable, very entertaining.
