How Denmark Changed Us in 2023!! 

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. I think it's probably inevitable that the more you feel like this is your home, the less exotic (for the lack of a better word) it will seem, and your desire to explore it will decline. There are certainly interesting things to see around the country, but apart from specific sightseeing opportunities one Danish town is much like another, particularly if they're in the same general area. There are regional differences of course, but apart from Bornholm which is very different from the rest of the country, everywhere else is actually much the same. A small town in the north of Jutland really isn't very different from a small town in the south of Funen, so unless there is something specific you want to see in a given place, merely going somewhere you haven't been before will offer diminishing returns in terms of new experiences.

For me, as a local in my 50s, covid and other stuff, including an interest in our cultural heritage, meant a late re-discovery of our country, with a lot of trips in the provinces, exploring also minor places, that I am now very glad to have experienced. There are many small, hidden and varied gems in Denmark, even when you've travelled for example throughout Europe a lot (for more than 3 years, in my case), and some overseas places. Some places that you might find interesting in the future: Christiansø (I seem to remember that you've been to Bornholm); Anholt; Ærø; Rubjerg Knude area; Nationalpark Thy; quirky museums in Copenhagen, like the Storm P Museum and the Heerup Museum; Malergaarden artist's family museum in Plejerup, Odsherred; Kullaberg peninsula in Sweden, near Helsingør, the sights on Stevns, etc. etc.

I just love maps so I would have spent hours as well. So happy we were able to get this, it’s special and helps us connect to Denmark even more.

Yeah, this map is super cool. We regularly track and shop at this place called luksusunk and they had this along with a Europe map over the holidays. So we quickly grabbed the DK one. I absolutely love maps, so this is pretty special to have as art on our wall.

@@TravelinYoung Ah yes, the classroom map of Europe. Printed sometime in the 60s and never getting replaced despite becoming increasingly inaccurate over the years. East and West Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, the USSR, they were all on that map and stayed there long after they had ceased to exist in the real world 😀

They still had and used this map in my public school (2000's)

Not to mention the coffee they served on those ferrys 😒

Even in the 90's and 00's when I went to school haha. The height colouring made it look like Sweden was some barren desert plateau.

It is pretty awesome!

We've been to a few like Fanø, Fyr, Årø, Omø and I think a few more. They really are lovely and it's so nice to visit and unwind!

Plan to!

Europe likely, someone else bought that one unfortunately.

I think it is the 60s as I don’t see the Little Belt Bridge which opened in 1970.

Looks like that bridge is there, but the Sallingsund is not - so it is likely before 1978 at least when that was completed.

Hold tight, future video :).

I have a D'angelico Semi Hollow (where I removed the pick guard) and a Martin acoustic.

@@TravelinYoung lovely. btw I stumbled upon your channel looking for info on Denmark, we love to come there from Belgium, and your insights are great

Oh we’ve stayed in Fyn before! Svenborg and Faaborg more than once.

All my guitars are on guitar stands or in cases. That specific case is empty.

ok, y'all play bluegrass or something?

Well, we no longer plan to return, so we are no longer expats and are now immigrants.

​@@TravelinYoungI ER MEGET VELKOMNE HER I DANMARK!! ❤💯

Maya og mig er flydende på dansk, men vi lave vores videoer på engelsk fordi vi vil gerne vores engelsk medlem at forstår. Vi har lavet et par af videoer helt på dansk. Måske min grammatik er ikke perfekt men jeg kan tale dansk. - M

@@TravelinYoung Så tal dansk ! 😉

@@MaximDL1410 it is important to us for our content to be accessible to friends and family in the US. So it will be in English outside of the rare exception when we provide updates on our Danish proficiency.

Så har du ikke set videoen hvor Maya snakker flydende dansk , kan godt forstå de laver videoerne på engelsk , så kan alle følge med

@MaximDL1410: You do know, that Your statements sounds more than a little xenophobic? Also I think You are missing the entire motivation for these videos. These 3 lovely and friendly persons tells us, and whomever wishes to know, what it is like to travel to and settle in Denmark as an American family. That is a message primarely targeted at other people interested in what it is like to come to Denmark and immerge yourself in Danish culture and Danish history. To do so in Danish would probably be too much of a barrier for many of the intended viewers. Keep the videos comming. Keep them in English and bear with the occasional xenophobe.
