166 | Wait... Denmark Has an Amateur Space Program?
<p>Most people think sending someone to space is something only governments or billionaires can do. In Denmark, a group of volunteers disagrees.</p><br><p>In this episode, Derek and Conrad are joined by Jørn Skyt, from Copenhagen Suborbitals, the volunteer-run organization working to become the first amateur team in the world to launch a human into space.

165 | Is Dating a Dane Really This Hard?
<p>Moving to a new country doesn't just mean learning a new language or figuring out the grocery store. Sometimes it means rebuilding your identity from scratch and that can put unexpected pressure on even the strongest relationships.</p><br><p>In this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Derek and Brooke respond to a heartfelt question from Laura, a Portuguese listener who's been living in Denmark for two and a half years and has a Danish partner. She wonders whether the challenges they're facing are relationship problems or simply the reality of navigating two very different cultures.</p><br><p>Brooke lets us in on what it was like dating and marrying a Dane while living in her home country and now his. Derek shares the pros and cons of living in Denmark with a partner who is non-Danish and from the same native culture. While it seems like relationship complexities defy borders, this episode does offer plenty of advice, relatable experiences, and food for thought.</p><br><p>Topics that get unpacked:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why internationals often feel like they've lost part of themselves after moving abroad</li><li>The emotional labor of constantly asking questions about Danish culture</li><li>Why Danes can feel exhausted being asked to "represent" their entire country</li><li>How cultural differences affect communication, conflict, and expectations</li><li>Why building your own international community can make all the difference</li></ul><p><br></p><p>As always, you can email, DM, or leave a voice note with your thoughts on this episode or your own question. We’d love to hear from you whether you're dating a Dane, living abroad with your partner, or simply trying to make Denmark make sense, like all of us. </p><br><p>This conversation is a reminder that you're not alone and that many of the struggles you're experiencing are more common than you think.</p><br><p>📺 Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2F" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2F</a></p><br><p>📢 Send your questions and/or comments.</p><p>voice:<a href=" https://www.speakpipe.com/waydid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.speakpipe.com/waydid</a></p><p>email: derek@whatareyoudoingindenmark.com</p><br><p>👉 Remember to tell your friends about the podcast.</p><br><p>👀 More living in Denmark tips:</p><p><a href="https://instagram.com/waydidpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/waydidpod</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
