Hi Becky! So glad you enjoyed our beautiful city! I'm so sorry you caught the bad weather: usually it's sunny and warm in May! I'm a hygge Minimalist and an avid iceswimmer/winterbather. If you ever come back to Copenhagen, let me know and I'll take you for a cold, refreshing dip in the sea! 😃🏊♀️💦❄️ Hugs, Diane in Denmark 🇩🇰
We absolutely LOVED Denmark ❤️and it’s on my top places to visit again! So I will have to take you up on the invitation someday 🤗😍
How cool... I just watched both of your videos one after the other! It would be so amazing if Becky returned and you did a video together!
@@jennyjenkins877 Me too! Just watch Dianes video, and now this 😄
All over Europe is the same ❤. Work Life balance is very important for us. I could have told you, you always need sweaters in Scandinavia, even in the summer time 😂 We need to be prepared for all kind of weather, because it’s so unpredictable
🤣 I thought where I lived it was unpredictable but you guys win!! The first day was so warm and the next 5 days like winter again hahah thanks so much for sharing 😍
@@minimalease haha 😂 Sometimes we have 4 seasons in one day 🌸
I think I read somewhere that the people in Denmark are the happiest people in the world ❤️
Yes they are! And it’s not about living in a always sunny warm place because in May I was freezing 🤣 so much more then the weather people there just seemed to know how to work to live not live to work
Think it`s Finland now and for the last few years. But were still second.
But happiness is a strange word for it, what they really measure is safety, or perception of safety.
Did you notice, that trust is very much a part in the traffic?
As a pedestrian, you do not go over for red, the cars trust you to wait for green and vice versa. In general, we trust each other to obey the rules. This makes it much easier and more reassuring to travel in the traffic.
Yes!!
Hello
As a Dane and probably also many other people around the world, it is completely natural to trust each other.
I have an example:
About a month ago, I forgot my backpack in the Metropolitan Train at Copenhagen Central Station. It took me a while before it got me, that it wasn't on my back .
. And then the train was long gone southward. Among other things, there was my work computer and my digital camera.
Two days later I picked up the bag with all the things in it at the lost and found office. - And I didn't doubt for a second that it would come back...
It's about remembering that your fellow citizens also don't like if their own things disappear. - And all the trouble there is, if you have to get or buy new things again... After all, we are all aware that we can easily forget things, drop things, or forget to lock one's bike. That everyone occasionally does it, it's natural. It's about mutual respect. And recognise each other as humans with errors.
Love this and I love your country ❤️❤️
Here in Denmark we never have bad weather, only bad/wrong clothing
Love it 😍
This was beautiful. I have a bike and I ride my bike everywhere with my two toddlers. I leave in Arkansas. Very blessed to have a wonderful bike trails all around me.
That’s amazing ❤️❤️❤️we are slowly getting more but not enough for me to feel safe
I loved this - especially that the stores close early so workers can spend time with their families. We have shops that stay open late too, here in the UK. Thank you ♥
It was such a shock to me at first and then I really loved the idea! 🤗❤️❤️
In Australia we only have supermarkets that stay open past 530pm. Except on a Thursday night where they stay open until 9pm.with the exception of Kmart!
That’s so interesting ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing!
I was born in Australia and grew up in the 80's & 90's, all retail stores would shut at 5pm (Mon-Fri) and 3pm on Saturdays. They never opened on Sundays. I loved those days coz people were creative and did fun breach trips on Sundays since there were no shops open.
Everything changed since the trading hours were extended by a lot, it is ridiculous. No wonder why we consume so much.
Thanks for sharing your view from Australia ❤️❤️ I completely agree our hobbies now seem to be shopping instead of shopping so you can get what you need for your hobby
@@minimalease You're welcome. Perfectly said, my sentiments exactly. I went thru that too (excessive shopping as a hobby), but I'm already down by 60% of my junk, nowhere near as minimal as you yet, but I strive to (as a very creative person I have a lot of bits and bobs still to go thru, at least another 20% to go).
Yep - the good.old Aussie days! I remember them!!
@@acrobaticanna I dream of them coming back one day, even though I know that's not possible.
@@Margiep63 You totally missed my point my dear!
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you! ❤
Aww thank you! ❤️❤️
I feel Switzerland is the same, but I don‘t live in one of the bigger cities. Shops are closed on Sundays and mostly after 6:30 pm on other days, lots of cyclists and public transport and a very safe environment where kids from age 5 walk to their local school without any adults.
That is so beautiful ❤️❤️ thanks so much for sharing your experiences!!
The stores used to be closed on sundays in Atlantic Canada. I thought that was crazy living in busy Toronto Ontario. But shopping in the evening or weekend when you’re hungry/stressed/rushed/ bored definitely helps the store and not our wallets.
Hahah love it! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
I enjoy your videos. You’ve really inspired me and I have made lots of progress. Feels great ! Thank you ❤
That's fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Oh, how fun! I live in Denmark! It´s so true what you say 😊
Hurray! That’s so great to hear! I know I was only there a week but I loved it there so much!
Congratulations to 15000 followers! 🎉 🥂🍾 I really love your tipps and your view in things! Very precious!😊
Thanks so much🤗 it has been such a blessing to be able to share what I’ve learned and learn from all of you ❤️❤️
Thank you
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
What a beautiful video, so interesting! It's similar here in germany I would say. thanks for sharing ✨
Aww so glad you enjoyed it 😍
❤ A day working on my linen closet. Declutterring , deciding what is really needed. It will be this weeks project.
That’s great! 👏👏 thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
@DianeinDenmark does those frozen dips in the river! She has a great YT channel as well. Enjoying you and your content!
Love it! I’m going to go check her out now ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the shout out! 👋😃🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Yes! My first thought was to mention Diane in Denmark!
I find it really interesting to hear what you experienced in denmark, and the fact that your friend lives in switzerland. Because i am from denmark but moved to switzerland 28 Years ago when i was 20 years old. There are so many things that i love about denmark and about switzerland, and again so many things are different. I am danish and even though i was young when i moved to switzerland and i love living here, I feel at home, but i still have many dänisch sights on things.❤
She lives in Zurich and Loves it there! She’s from Germany originally but she said Switzerland is most likely her forever home ❤️
It's the same here in Norway, as you experienced in Copenhagen: The trust, being outdoors and our stores are even closed on Sundays.
That’s amazing! ❤️❤️ I wish it would more like that where I love
@minimalease *live
True 😍
I remember that in the 50s and 60s
Hi Becky, Happy anniversary! What a great way to celebrate with your husband. I have read about the lifestyle and values of people in Denmark and other Scandinavian countries since hearing that their happiness rating was the highest in the world despite their long, cold winters. I have a friend in Sweden and she has a similar lifestyle and has gone ice-bathing. Here in Australia, we used to have a great free education system where people had the opportunity to undertake university courses (even multiple degrees) for free if you met the requisites. We also had a great health system on Medicare. When I was young, shops were not open such extended hours and very few businesses operated on a Sunday. It is not the only cause, but I see a relationship between many of the things you were talking about and our impatient, (need it now) selfish, mindless-consuming, anxious, exhausted population. You do a great job presenting an alternative way of living on your channel. Change needs to come from the bottom up and we can only create what we can envisage. Thank you ❤
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts ❤️❤️ I learned so much just in a week of being there and we are determined to visit again 😍 thanks so much for watching ❤️
❤
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed watching this. My goal is to travel more and Denmark is way up there on the list for me to go to 🙂 I live in the UK and most places like shoe stores close between 5-6pm but I am noticing a change in the out of town outlets now opening until 10pm in some instances
It is on my list to revisit it was such an amazing place ❤️❤️❤️
Most Danes if they find a lost purse or wallet, they will check for a name and then try to look that person up to let them know where to collect it.
Local Facebook group often have someone searching for the owners of lost items, iPhone, ipods, wallets, creditcard, keys, dogs, cats, ect.
You need to show trust for a better world.
And we do love being outside. Any change of sun and the Danes are outside.
Love this so much! ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing 😍
Same where I live in Sydney, lots of missing items reunited with their owners via local Facebook groups!
❤ greetings from Copenhagen ❤
Aww Hello! 😍 such a beautiful city 😍
❤❤❤, just moved into a tiny home.
Hello cindy
That’s awesome I hope your enjoying your new home!👏 thanks for sharing!
❤❤❤
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Norwegians say, "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes." They embrace every season. Another thing I noticed travelling abroad...no cup holders in cars. For Scandinavians or Europeans....perhaps in other countries....the thoughts of going through a drive thru and eating in their car is unthinkable. We've lost a lot of quality of life in the U.S.
Hahahah omg! Yes! My friend Michelle said that exact quote when we were there when I had no big coat and I was freezing 😂 thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
We say that in Norway all the time ❤😂
💜
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Stores are open here to make more money. If they weren't making money, they wouldn't stay open. It's not so some random person can buy something at night.
It’s all those random people that make the stores make money. It has made me much more aware of when I shop. If you want to see change you have to be the change
We are going to Denmark in October
What were your favorite things to do see there?
Oo my goodness there was so much! We went to this placed Reffen which is an outdoor eating place was amazing! And a castle called Rosenborg and that had a great park, there is a free city that’s very eclectic Christiania and Tivoli amusement park and so much more! I’d go back and live there in a heartbeat
I just had my jacket stolen at Santiago airport, it made me sad that someone would do that
That is so disheartened I know the feeling ❤️❤️
We’re in Va you live
