New in town — living local, loving it

Why Copenhagen?

I fell in love with a Dane many years ago and we`ve been having long distance relationship whilst I was living in Berlin and then later in Switzerland, so we were really happy when the chance to move to Copenhagen came up. I love the city, I love the possibilty to bike everwhere and the weather is better than it’s said to be.

— Kanalhuset. Communcal dining every evening at 7pm. Meet locals and tourists for interesting coversations.
