Moving to Denmark was probably the most expensive thing I have ever done and looking back, there are a couple of things I wish I would have known before. Things that could have saved me money, time, and a loooot of stress. And therefore, for those of you who are new to Denmark (or not that new but just curious) here is the beginner's guide on how to survive in expensive Denmark - part 1.

One of the first things I noticed moving to Denmark was that many things here are a bit expensive, especially when it comes to going out for a meal, or having some drinks in the city.
