half danish half swedish | TCKID 2.0

half danish half swedish

Hey tck people. I was invited by brice through facebook to this site and I’m glad to find it. I am 23, danish mother swedish dad, and doing a language and business degree in england, to graduate in May.

here is my life: 1. Born>Bonn, germany. 2. Then Hamburg Germany 3. Then Douala, Cameroon 4. Then Lome, Togo 5. Then Madrid,Spain 6. Then Hamburg, Germany 7. Then Prague, Czech Republic 8. Then UK for univerisity 9. Year abroad in Barcelona, Spain….now back in the uk to finish my last semester….

Future goal: An attempt to integrate into Denmark and to find a good job in Copenhagen.

Languages: Danish and Swedish (mothertongue), German, Spanish and English.

Where do I feel at home… around friends like me and people with free minds and my family.

What am I doing on this website: now that i have left international schools i am now in the “real world” and just feeling of damn hard it is sometimes! I think, TCK belong in bigger cities as in a smaller town there is a lot of cliques and I just could never be part of that. When I was living in Barcelona, I relaized though that there are cities made for global nomads like us. Barcelona is a city center of international people of all parts of the world and it was wonderful, but why couldnt I see myself settleing there if it was a big city full of people like myself? Well, my family is not there and my best friends from the past that I still try to hold on too were not either there. I missed the comfort of my best friends and family in this TCK city. I have never lived in my passport countries and I really look forward to moving to Denmark after my studies to see how it will be. As my family have moved close to Copenhagen this summer I will have them close, so perhaps that will make things easier to settle more.

Lots of mumble jumble from me as I tend to do quite easily. I look forward ot meeting people on here soon! Have fun everyone. xxoo

    Well I have lived both in Cities and small towns... I like small towns but it is true it is harder to get "in" there. The citys are better becasue people are mmore used to people comming and going and meeting new people...if you are close to public transportation it is great too. Where I am now I like it because the city is not too big but it is relativly close to Vancouver if I need to get out. however I don't live near any public transportation so that is rather difficult.

    Ja! Valkommen! Nice to see another fellow swede on here...although i really wouldn't consider myself a swede..hehe.. like you, never lived there longer than a few months at a time.
    I agree with u about belonging in bigger cities...don't know if i could survive in a small town. How is Prague like? I heard it's a beautiful city! I've only had a stop over once there...never got to get around the city. Same with Barcelona, i gotta get me to those places someday.

    welcome D-S tck!

    i don't know about the whole small town thing, well, ok, i get your point, but i have a thing about small town living. i like the pace. the slowness of it all. guess cos i grew up in africa where its al sort of alow mo, take your time, don,t rush just chill.

    but yes, the mono-ness of it can get to a person!

    hey welcome to tckid ! Glad you're here :D

    you said "now that i have left international schools i am now in the "real world" and just feeling of damn hard it is sometimes! I think, TCK belong in bigger cities as in a smaller town there is a lot of cliques and I just could never be part of that."

    Ah, I know the feeling! I don't think I could ever live in a small town where there's no diversity of people - I just wouldn't feel "home", you know? Besides, the bigger the city, the better the public transportation usually is.

    You said you feel home with your friends, where are they right now? My friends unfortunately are all over the place lol

    Ok there's a tradition here, and I have to welcome you with a picture...(preferably a lolcat picture) hehe


    LOLcat on the subway, Sweden style ... watch out.
