Emigrating to Denmark

An idea that I had cherished many years ago in my youth became increasingly clear. I was always happy by the sea, where I could simply walk on the beach for hours or gaze into the distance and let my thoughts run free.

Around 2005, I started looking for a property in Denmark. To be honest, I was more half-hearted than really focused.

Five years ago, in 2020, it became more concrete. I started searching. However, I did so without my queen, whom I would only meet later. People around me said things like, "You're crazy," and "What do you want there?" Interestingly, I reacted to this by putting my dream on the back burner in order to "please" others.

And then there were some significant events in my life that prompted me to revive my dream.

First, the universe brought together two people who are unbeatable together.

Shortly afterwards, I received a message from my sister saying that they had done it: emigrating to Denmark.

When my queen was also enthusiastic about the idea and I had trouble getting her out of the water again, it was clear to both of us: we're doing this now.

Anyone who thinks this was an easy thing to do is wrong. So many adversities, hidden in the background, tried (and still try) to make it difficult for us.

But if you stick with it, you can do it.

Once again, it has been confirmed that the journey is the destination. Not everything you plan can be implemented as planned. You have to be extremely flexible and always, always have a plan B for everything.

And it takes the determination of both of us – and we have that.

decision from the heart

For me, it was clearly a decision made with my heart. On the one hand, there was my love for my husband, and on the other, it was love at first sight for Denmark. The vastness, the landscape and the sea touched my heart. Me, who never, ever wanted to move away from Untervaz – or at most to Bad Ragaz – me of all people? Emigrate? Never. Not even a hundred horses could drag me away from here: this is where I was born, this is where I belong, this is where I'm staying. Those who know me know that. And now? Now I'm going to Denmark. Hallelujah.
