Nothing Like A Dane by Keri Bloomfield
The Story 📚
After bumping into a random Danish man in a bar in her home country of New Zealand, Keri didn’t think that some time later she would find herself moving across the world with their little baby to set up a new life together in Denmark. The land of hygge, pastries and vikings - and of course a different language.
Keri’s uniquely witty personality shines through in her story of adapting to a new culture, and all the challenges that brings. From classroom settings, babies sleeping outside and a fair share of public nudity. Just how hard can it be for a Kiwi to fit in to the Danish life?
The Review 👩🏻💻
As an expat living in Denmark for 2 years, it’s safe to say that I related to so much of Keri’s experience! Particularly every single thing about language school!! Really enjoyed this aspect being covered. If you’re interested in Danish life, moving to or are currently living in Denmark as a foreigner - then I highly recommend. Keri includes so many extra side notes giving you lots of info and tips on Danish culture and life.
Obviously no two experiences of moving to a new country are the same, and I didn’t marry a Dane like Keri did! But I enjoyed that the setting was Copenhagen based, and that made the book a lot more relatable to me than other things I may have read.
I highly recommend giving the author a follow here on Instagram. @keri.bloomfield gives some lovely daily life insights into Denmark, and I have followed her account on my personal page since moving to Denmark.

Tak for en dejlig bog Keri. Jeg nød virkelig at læse den! Bogen ville være interessant for danskere som et indblik i fremmede menneskers liv i Danmark.
