About this listen

The Danish concept of hygge is a wonderful thing. Even if most fail miserably when they try to pronounce or explain its true essence. Unless you’re a viking, of course.

As Keri stood in the departure lounge of Auckland International Airport with her four-month-old baby searching for her flight on the board, hygge wasn’t on her radar. In hindsight, she agrees it probably should have been. But she’d never imagined a chance encounter with a Dane in a crowded bar in her home city of Wellington would lead her here, a mother, about to circle the globe, with no knowledge of when she'd return home.

Eighteen thousand kilometres away, a new life awaited her in Denmark. A country where babies sleep outside, the word for bread is seemingly impossible to pronounce, and a country in which immigration challenges abound.

A witty observer of cultural nuances, Keri reveals the day-to-day realities of a New Zealander living her best life in Denmark. From integration interrogations to rye bread misdemeanors, Nothing Like a Dane provides a humorous and heartfelt insight into creating a new life in a faraway land.

And what did she learn? That it’s not all hygge and pastries. Even in Denmark.

Fun, relatable & reassuring for expats in DK!

I’m a sucker for reading/listening to any book written by someone who has moved to Denmark and details their experiences!! They’re always good fun but also comforting as I can relate to so many of their experiences!
As an Aussie, I especially loved this book written by a neighbouring Kiwi! Keri’s experiences with the time differences and distances were so relatable.
This book was very candid and open, and takes you through a roller coaster of emotions - I laughed a lot and a few times I cried…yes even when listening to the book whilst walking around the lakes lol.
Thanks Keri, I’ll definitely be gifting your book to fellow expats x
