113 | Reverse Culture Shock: A Dane Returns After Many Years Abroad

from What Are You Doing in Denmark?

Reverse culture shock hits home hard. Coming home isn’t always easy. After thirteen years in London, Danish comedian Sofie Hagen returns to Denmark and finds that re-entry can be just as surprising as moving abroad. From missing rye bread and blunt small talk to discovering how “first of all” sounds like starting a fight in British emails, Sofie shares the joys and shocks of repatriation with humor and honesty. This episode explores what internationals and Danes alike can learn about belonging, identity, and the hidden “recipe” of being Danish. Listen in for laughter, awkward truths, and the fifth stage of culture shock: coming back.What Are You Doing in Denmark podcast:https://instagram.com/waydidpodhttps://facebook.com/[email protected]://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2FSofie Hagen (Guest):https://www.instagram.com/sofiehagendkhttps://www.comedyzoo.dk/event/1313358-7b2afhttps://www.sofiehagen.com/ Previous episode with Sofie:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzY0Y2U4YWE5OTBkMDAyMDAxMTMzZDBkZA/episode/Njg4Y2E0N2NmY2YxYjc5ZjdiNzZhODIwDerek Hartman: https://www.instagram.com/derekhartmandk https://youtube.com/c/robetrottinghttps://tiktok.com/@derekhartmandkwww.facebook.com/robetrottingBrooke Black:https://instagram.com/brookeblackjusthttps://www.tiktok.com/@brookeblackjustConrad Molden:https://instagram.com/conradmoldencomedyhttps://youtube.com/c/conradmoldenhttps://tiktok.com/@conradmolden https://facebook.com/conradmoldenhttps://www.conradmolden.dkTina's blog: A former unexpected housewife: https://notamaturemum.wordpress.com/📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2F📢 Send your questions and/or comments.voice: https://www.speakpipe.com/waydidemail: [email protected]👉 Remember to tell your friends about the podcast.👀 More living in Denmark tips:https://instagram.com/waydidpod Hosted on Acast.
