EP 24: Raising A Multi-Cultural Family In Denmark

Srishti talks about how she ended up in Denmark and how she is raising her family in Denmark. The struggles, the culture shock and even her story about how she met her husband. Let’s get to it.
Ep 23: Homesickness Is Real
In this episode, I decided to do a solo episode about homesickness. I know we’ve all been there and have felt this awful feeling of Homesickness. Especially now with all these lockdowns and countries closing their borders. People can’t visit their home country…
Also, I am really feeling homesick to the point where I wonder if moving back to Los Angeles is the best option. But I know this feeling will go away when I am doing something with friends and family here in Denmark OR having a short visit to the US. But since we are so limited right now, I decided to have some suggestions for people feeling homesick in their current situation.
Homesickness - What is and why do we feel this way?
Ep 22: Life In Denmark For An Author, And Expat Mom, Lindsay Kellar-Madsen

At the same time, I met this amazing woman that has 4 kids under 5 years old. And to top it off, 2 of them are twins.
Ep 21: How Living In Denmark As An Expat can Change You And Your Lifestyle
This episode is all about beauty, hair, and all the girly things women do.

AND, she will give some advice on moving abroad with children.
I haven’t really talked to many parents that moved to Denmark with older kids, so I am very happy to have her here.

Ep 12:Adapting To Denmark During The Pandemic
On Today’s episode, we will be talking about how some internationals have to change their life when moving abroad. Many International spouse’s don’t get enough credit for moving their life to a new country. They are leaving their life behind, so their other half can follow their dream jobs. I talk to so many internationals that had to give up their career or business behind in their home country and literally start over in Denmark. It takes courage to start over and move abroad, but many spouses living abroad support their partners so they take the leap of faith to the unknown.

EP 06: Adapting To A New Country - Denmark
In Episode 6, I am talking about adapting to a new country from traditions to everyday life. For some people it is very easy, but for others it is definitely not an easy transition.
