Show Notes

Happy Halloween!

It's not technically Halloween yet, but in the US the month of October is Halloween… hahaha! I am excited to do today’s episode about Halloween in Denmark vs Halloween in the US, plus get to know these two mothers next to me and why the heck they are in Denmark. 

I wanted to do this show because when I moved here in 2014, I was completely shocked that Halloween was not celebrated here. No scary event, fun costumes, Halloween parties, haunted houses and Halloween candy. Come on I want my skull-shaped Reese Peanut Butter cups or eyeball lollipop!

This episode will be a fun one that will cover a little history of Halloween and when I say little like where it originated (Thank you Google), the celebration of Halloween in Denmark, the US and Maybe Italy since I have a momma here that has lived in all three countries.  Plus a little glimpse of their life as an international mother living in Denmark. 

My first guest is Jody and she is an American living in Denmark with her family.  Her husband is Italian and they have 2 kids. She has lived in the US, Italy and Denmark. I believe she had her first child in Italy and second here in Denmark. 

And I have Anna - a Dane who grew up in both the USA and Denmark. Today, she lives in Denmark with her daughter and partner. Anna will have some perspective as a repat and moving back to her parents home country in Denmark. 

Tune in for a fun and super interesting conversation with these two women!
