DON'T Move to Denmark in 2024: 7 Reasons It's NOT For You

[@MarioScianHQ]

For the opposite, why you SHOULD move to Denmark, check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4vQfamcoraba9k

[@TheGismono]

-- "Cold and Dark" This highly relative, depending on where you come from. If you come from Canada, UK or the Baltic states its mostly the same as Denmark, because the contries are all on or about the same latitude on the globe. This would be the same reason why not to got to Svalbard or Rio, but its all about expectations set for the worng geographic place. --"Hard to make friends" I would say that's because your concept of what "friends" are is very low or shallow. This is the same reason why danes in general dislike idle small talk, because it is seen as putting on a face that isn't you. So at best friends you don't work on getting/keeping, is just people you know of. -- "Small town is boring" This is the same for any small town anywhere in the world. Take any small rural town from the US or japan or ect. you will get the same effect.

Hello! My ancestors are from Vamdrup near Jutland?

[@akifemekli6993]

I moved to Ikast, Jutland 11 months ago. I am still doing okay and feeling fine about the decision. I think the boring part is mostly related to what is your maritial status, family and expectations. It is a very good feeling to have birds singing at 4-5 AM in the morning. Yes, it sometimes sounds boring, for example you feel like the only activity you can have is to hang out in between grocery stores :) But still it is okay. BTW I moved from İstanbul (20 mil pop.) to here (10 k pop max.). Maybe that was what I had been looking for :) Thanks for the video Mario!

In Denmark friends are for life, at least that´s my experience. So, it would seem obvious that the older you get the harder it will be to get new acquaintances which might develop into friendships, in Portugal I had lots of "friends" but I actually prefer my few Danish friends. Example: Danmark: Some years back I called my friend Bjørn at 4 am in the morning dead drunk and lost, he got angry, called me a bunch of names but he drove 23 kilometers to pick me up, I got some more roast on the way home but fell asleep. Portugal : I called my cousin whom I considered a good friend in the middle of the night while on vacation in Portugal due to a hotel problem in Coimbra (long story but this time not my fault), he just refused to answer the call and pressed cancel. No, I never prior to this point in time called him to ask for anything. I know it´s dangerous to generalize but from what I have gathered, easier friendships also tend to crackle under the heat a lot faster. One thing my Danish friends aren´t known for is "small favors" but they will rise to the occasion if the situation is dire. I honestly don´t know if my analysis is correct, it´s just what I have experienced. Another thing to note is that Portugal has changed immensely since I was young, how things are now is a lot harder for me to have any opinion on.

My absolute favourite go-to places are, however, Loekken, Nörlev, Skagen and Hjörring. That rainy, cold, windy climate roughly six months out of the year is also a great deterrent to mass tourism ☺

I personally admire and respect the Scandinavian Nordic countries because they use those high taxes to reinvest back into their own native population and it shows. The Danish reinvestments in their Danish people are paying dividends allowing Denmark to compete on a global level as a powerhouse while having a phenomenal culture. The Scandinavian Nordic people are reserved until they become a true friend. Latin Americas(Latinos) don't have a great reputation in the USA nor in Europe so just continue to be a genuine kind trustworthy person and you will eventually make authentic relationships. I know immigration is a sensitive topic in Denmark currently and it's because Denmark and the Scandinavian Nordic countries are ranked at the top as great societies currently. In reverse, the Latin America countries( along with the African countries, south Asian (and most Asian countries), Caribbean island nations, , Middle Eastern countries, Pacific island nations) are still developing countries. Places like NYC and London are in super wealthy Western countries and in capitalistic economics with safety nets. Even though the UK and the USA are wealthier economies they are struggling with certain issues like immigration and focusing on their own native population as well instead of unimportant issues. Every year those Scandinavian Nordic countries are always ranked at the top whereas places like Latin American countries clearly are not.

Number one: If you dont have money for a 3 room appartment in the bigger expensive new Copenhagen( where everybody lives), you will hafe to stay silent for the rest of your days. The small new appartments dont have any sound-proofment, so you can hear each other chewing food and wipe yourself with toiletpaper. Even though thats illegal ( all over the world for new buildings) the "non- corrupt" county and state of Denmark covers it up, because big builders is big cash for the state. And the renters help the state cover this fact up, by keeping silent about the problem of big builders saving money on soundproofing, ore blaming it on the weak/ where you can wash yourself of by lashing on to some common predujice.

As a dane I would point out that a shortcut to making friends in Denmark is very much about getting involved in organised activities. That could be sports, pottery classes, board game clubs, role playing clubs, political grassroots movements etc. Danes are really bad at small talk and meeting new people - this is also true when its meeting other Danes The key to get friends is find a connection over a common interest. You should be able to get a friend or two within a year by just chilling and talking between activites. My wife who is from greece jokes that danes love organised fun 😂

Denmark is very unfortunate in comparison to other Scandinavia.

And of course, all three mentioned countries have snow at winter - you can go skiing, sledging, skating, tubing… Denmark is flat, sea is cold, winter is rainy and the weather mostly sucks. And danish people are very narcisstic and autistisk antisocial. Unfortunately I live in Danmark and Looking forward to moving out. Young people start drinking alcohol from the age of 15. And 80% of the population suffers from depression, anxiety and stress. And if you lose a job or have an economic crisis, you become isolated. The system does not help and you should be lucky if you have a good family or friends who are willing to help you. All in all, the whole culture is narcistic.

Not an easy decision, when you have a danish wife and kids, but it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I still visit DK once every 5 or 10 years for a "Diamantbryllup", or to attend a funeral of my in-laws or a summer bike trip in "nord Sjaelland" but then glad to be back in Kastrup and saying goodbye. Life is too short not to live it exactly they way you want to. BTW, Be careful about criticizing the danes. They're thin-skinned with fragile self-esteem who don't take well to criticism and might gang up on you at work or school. Another reason to leave DK. DK is not a place for a dynamic, energetic person with big ambitions. It's more suitable for retired people needing goverment's social services and nearing the end of the road.

Some good points, but nature in Denmark is absolutely beautiful (lakes, woods etc.). Also entrepreneurship thrives there and there are many tax breaks when owning a business.

Without them, they can't, without being driven down crazy foreign countries and the new generations or new immigrants from abroad, they have to move to where the jobs are and if they are in the small towns in West Jutland, South Denmark or or in North Jutland, then they have to move there, but you shouldn't tell them to move to the big cities, they can, but if they buy an apartment there, the price is so high that they both have to work before they have the rent and they can have a decent life without them missing anything on the prices in the big cities two like Aarhus or Copenhagen Aarhus they are Sten very much is in recent years because there are so many people in the different places so it is better to move out to one of the small towns 5000 years ago, only Aalborg, Aalborg, Aarhus, Esbjerg, Odense, Copenhagen are left, then the small towns are gone, there is no one, nothing there, so what, then it is a new problem, if any of the small towns have survived, where are the farmers going to go? drive there and what time do they have to drive there? Who lives in the countryside today just skip to a bigger city to shop, they also have a claim that there is some life out in the small towns and there is a grocer or a bro or yes i said a but shop or a Art where they can buy groceries in the other necessary with all the small villages that are around the country and not just like you think you make me so excited by saying such nonsense there it doesn't hold anywhere what you say don't do it make a new video then you say you were wrong because you really are you are very wrong and I really mean that you are and if you ask any of them who live outside the small communities, they think the same and there is the same team few get from the town's small shop that survives the farewell shop is not there then they have no unity and then they have to drive incredibly far to buy some of them may have to drive 100 km to shop if now it is not a 00.59 shop in their small community such as churches and to school, then they have to drive very far both to pick up the children and to pick up the grocery items or the items in the nearest store and the nearest store in the nearest one might have lied 100 km away or there around 2000 km away, it's not very smart, you can also see that, otherwise you have to have another place at the other end of Denmark, so you can change it don't have any time.

The government tracks and controls everything you do in relation to what income you get, how you spend your money, and where you spend it. Also, because the taxes are so insanely high, you end up getting some form of subsidies from the government, even if you have a normal paying job, which means your economy at all times will be depended on the government in some form, which means more government control. So keep that in mind, because that's a very big con of living in Denmark. I would not recommend moving to Denmark for this reason.

Spain is great

[@charonstyxferryman]

I had spend some of my vaccination in Sevilla (that is Southern Spain, Andalucía). I was able to blend in as being one of the locals. I speak Spanish (but I only know a few 1,000 Spanish words). Learning and using the local's language makes life so much easier.

The Danes have a excluding and closed culture...I am married to a Danish woman and have been living here for 40 years now. You will end up with a severe depression. And they are talking about free healthcare and a lot of benefits (Wow, hurrrray...), well.....if those benefits were not possible here, who would be stupid enough to even live here????

[@Sohave]

I am born in Denmark and live in Odense, Denmark, we need a revolution to change this egalitarian high taxed hell. There is a reason why we can't have friends, we work the whole day to pay those taxes, so we end up being socially atomized. There is this constant low grade poverty where you just get by and survive but you never get rich or thrive despite making a decent income. We drink to escape same as the North Koreans who also have a hefty drinking culture. The most happy country in the world my ass. we were also for many years the highest consumers of anti depressants. Danes say they are happy when they have food on the table and are not about to commit suicide.

I live in a city comparable to Odense, have a job in health care and just my income to pay the bills.. I have no problem living comfortably and saving up for a rainy day.

@WhatsApp±𝟷𝟹6𝟶𝟾𝟸𝟸𝟽2𝟸𝟶 Need no insight on Denmark. Know far too well how that place "work", for who it "works" and, for who it certainly doesn't work. The corruption there is absolute, The legal system is completely destroyed or, just not existing, The so-called "social welfare" in the place, is run by stolen money - stolen from the people! Child-sex slavery still seem to be one of the main sources of income...several "high-profile" traffickers in place... I could continue...😪

@@teebodk3917 Teebo... Regarding your child-sex-trafficking all over our planet, sadly your words here doesn't match my thousands of documents prooving this and, when/if you look through all the reports from the EU since 2009, sex-slavery inside DK, have sadly given DK many a place on "top" within the EU for exactly that.. Maybe this is the main reason, I keep being told to be happy I managed to get out.. I am Teebo but, I'm happy in a very, very sad way... Personally having lost beloved people to exactly this - within Denmark, as well as having tape recordings from the place, with direct treats on exactly this as well 😰 And finally regarding your statistics: They do NOT match anything, just close to reality so yes, somewhere DK might come out as the least corrupt... What does that make all the other corrupt countries?? 😢 Colonial DK never stopped Teebo! Neither did all the other sad Colonials.. only "change" is, you've all become a bit better hiding it 😢

[@Jetmab04]

PS Teebo: Regarding your "legal" system: The lack of a real legal system in Denmark is known worldwide and, has been mentioned in several countries over the past 10 - 15 years and regarding the Danish state stealing from it's own citizens likewise. We are many Danes living abroad, who have had stolen everything during the same years... This being pensions, houses, savings, personal belongings and not least, ALL the Danes living abroad, who suddenly completely vanished from the surface of our planet. One wonder if this could be closely related to the innocent people now crushed in waste incinerators in Greenland!? The Danske Bank "crisis" - what was it her name was - the person who took all the blame for that? Brita right!? The 100% bankrupt of your country back in 2007? Exactly how many Danes around the world (including DK) have lost their lives due to "mental illness"?? Dear Teebo, no matter how many times you report me (you're very welcome) I have proof - more than 500.000 original documents, 26 beloved people of me have lost everything - the majority killed and last... The world have seen this type of "War" from Denmark before - many times 😢 Please look inwards and at least, face your (our) own History! Your changer at me, could that have to do with the fact, this doesn't have anything at all to do with either you nor I but, with a horrible Government (part of the even worse W. É. F.) who clearly want to destroy us all!? Denmark is a little place - hence not that difficult to research - we have it all dear Teebo, including the comments from each and every country Dennark ever dealt with! So, so sad - Rob, rape, torture, kill is very obviously still Denmark's "way" 😢😢😢 so incredibly sad...
