Sleepless in Vanløse

We just arrived back from three glorious weeks in the US for the holidays to celebrate Christmas and New Years Eve with family and friends. Even though I barely slept on the plane, and managed to keep myself awake until 9pm Danish time,which was technically throughout the night and into the early after- noon the next day (US time), I woke around 3am in Denmark and couldn't go back to sleep.

I kept thinking about all the things I need to do to get back into the groove of life in Denmark (school projects, exams, work, gym) and how amazing our trip was to the US (10 relaxing days with family and 10 fun filled days with friends).

These are the times when dual country couples have the hardest time coping with the reality of their situation. You constantly have to say goodbye to one country in order to live life in another.

Emotions are high and you are reminded each and every trip what is most important (family and friends) but restricted by your commitments and responsibilities (work and school).

Our continuous goal and search for a happy ever after will end when we are no longer restricted to one country in order to spend time with the ones we love.
