Integration is a hot topic, but how easy is it to integrate when you need to move every six months to a new country, with its own system, a different language and new values?
When we move in our first semester to Kolding, the cultural boundaries are in particular difficult to cross, as the Danish society seems quite cold and closed to foreigners, but the Danes are actually quite the opposit; warm human beings that want to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The Danes call this: 'Hygge'.
Janelby, a New Yorker with roots in the Dominican Republic from generation 2015-17, made a video about Hygge in Kolding by showing you her favorite place called the 'Soul Cafe'. You can follow Janelby on fearlessleon.com, where she is the author of 'Coming from America'.
