My need for somewhere to vent has finally overtaken my laziness.

I’ve been absent for a while, you haven’t missed too much though. Oh, except for the decision I have made to move to Denmark. But that’s it really. So nothing major.

How? Why? When? I think of it really simply actually. It's something I've always wanted to do, I have no responsibilities or commitments tying me down here, and I think it will be a hugely challenging experience. I can't wait to explore my Danish roots, learn the language and generally just be Danish for a while!

All I know is that every time I leave Denmark I always wish I was staying. Simples.

I’ve since been devouring every piece of information I can find online about Denmark and Copenhagen. I recently came across a great website for expats (www.expat-blog.com) through which, when I’ve gathered up enough courage, I hope to meet some people living in CPH who have been through the same experience as me.

I started off reading a lot of the blogs that people on the site have written and then suddenly decided to stop because it was scaring me (nothing like burying your head in the sand!) and so have just decided to write my own thoughts down since they are already enough to scare me!

Clearly the most sensible thing to start with is a list of everything I need to do before I leave in just 9 short weeks.

1) Hand in my notice at work L.
2) Decide what to take and what to leave
3) Put the stuff I’m not taking into storage
4) Look into costs of putting stuff into storage
5) Figure out what to do about my bank account overdraft
6) Open a bank account in DK
7) Research which is the best bank account to open
8) Find a job in DK
9) Find somewhere to live in DK

I’m bored of this list already. I’m off to learn all the words to “Wonderful Wonderful Copenhagen”.

Tra la la.
