Kay Xander Mellish

Life as a foreigner in Denmark, one of the world's most homogenous countries, isn't always easy. In this book Kay Xander Mellish – an American who has lived in Denmark for more than a decade – offers a fun guide to Danish culture and Danish manners, as well as tips on how to find a job, a date, someone to talk to or something to eat.

In this fun, easy-to-read book, Kay draws on her own experience as a foreigner in Denmark in when it comes to learning Danish, trying to find a job in Denmark, and looking for a place to live in Copenhagen. She also touches on dating in Denmark, Danish drinking culture, Danish child-raising, and how you can guess a Danish person's age from their first name alone. This entertaining look at life as an outsider in "the world's happiest country" draws on gentle humor and can be enjoyed by both foreigners and their Danish friends.Kay is the voice behind the long-running "How to Live in Denmark" podcast and author of five books about Denmark, including "How to Work in Denmark", "Working with Tips for Americans" and "Working with Tips for Danes." She is a popular keynote speaker in Denmark, elsewhere in Europe, and in the US.
