This 30-year-old left the U.S. for Denmark—5 things she still misses about America: ‘There’s no Whole Foods or Trader Joes’

In 2018, I married my Danish husband and moved from Dallas, Texas to Copenhagen, Denmark. We were excited to build our new home abroad.

Now with permanent residence in Denmark, I have no plans to move back to the U.S. As a 30-year-old mother and teacher, I love living here — and I’ve never been happier. My teaching salary goes a lot further, I have more regular hours, a more manageable workload, and there are major taxpayer benefits like public healthcare.
