Making Danish friends: A few tips based on experience | The How to Live in Denmark Podcast,...
If you’re newly arrived in Denmark, making Danish friends is not easy – in fact, surveys show that one of the main reasons internationals end up leaving is the difficulty of building a network.
The irony is that Danes are actually very good at friendship. Their friendships are strong, reliable, and deep-rooted. Friends can count on each other.
But because Danes take friendships so seriously, they like to keep their number of friendships under control. They don’t want to take on more friends than they can keep their deep commitment to.
The statement “I just don’t have room for any more friends” sounds perfectly sensible to Danes, and utterly stunning to foreigners.
When internationals ask me how they can make Danish friends, I have one primary piece of advice.
It is: find a Dane who did not grow up in the part of Denmark where you live now.
This is the ninety-first episode of the "How to Live in Denmark podcast", and originally ran in 2019.
