in the gosh-darn-those-crazy-kids department:
My younger daughter just recently (a) quit her job at LinkedIn, (B-) emptied out her NYC apt, (c) packed up her boyfriend and cat, and (d) moved to Denmark.

I kinda regret not having the guts to do stuff like this in my 20s - glad SHE does!

I wish I’d had the guts to do that too! At least I had the guts to get out of my hometown. Best of luck to them!

My sister's like that. She'll just pick up and move when the spirit takes her.

I think Denmark is probably quite a cool place to live. Wish I'd spent more time exploring NW Europe.

I suspect most Danes can speak English when they need to.

Oh yes, English is pervasive there, apparently - as she’d assured the bf. Then the first two people they interacted with upon arrival spoke/ understood ZERO English… that raised his eyebrows a bit (LOL)
