Most people I meet ask me why the fak I decided to move to the tiny little land of Denmark. This article will explain my reasons… but my basic thesis is why the fak wouldn’t I? Disclaimer: After reading this you might be booking the first flight over here so don’t jump on Expedia or Travelocity or whatever travel site best suits your fancy all at once. The culture of the community is completely different in Europe in general than it is in the States. Danes are especially adept at striving for the benefit of the community as a whole. This is the polar opposite as it is in the States. In the good ol’ US of A, go ahead and step on the little guy, hey, he might make you one inch taller. In Denmark, people strive to succeed in their own lives, their own communities without having to be the biggest or the best.

I'm a native of the US and have family in Costa Rica. They have socialized health care.
You don't pay a dime for anything. They also average a good amount of vacation time per year. I don't know if it's quite 6 weeks however, it's still more than double what we take here in the states.

The bottom line is, we work way too hard. We die earlier as well. Our health care system is in shambles.

We have to do something different in many different areas here in the states for a better quality of life overall...
