I moved to Denmark from Canada mid- December, 2010. I worked as a registered nurse in Canada, and am here on a working holiday. My boyfriend is Danish, and had been living in Canada, and now we are living in Denmark for a while. I have been trying to teach myself Danish, but that wasn't working out the best, so I just registered for language courses. I haven't met too many people yet, but I am hoping to meet some cool people from the site. My boyfriend works out of town a lot, and that leaves me with way too much free time on my hands!

Make sure to visit the Aros Museum, it's really fantastic! I'm visiting aarhus right now and walk by the museum by mistake because I live at the Radisson Blu Hotel nearby (http://www.radissonblu.com/hotel-aarhus).. Its actually really good and the price is okay.. The rooms amongst the biggest I've tried. If you have visitors coming from Canada I would definitely recommend it!
Tak care and have a nice christmas
