About

Hi, I'm Jeff and I'm British. I live in the UK but I work all over Europe as a professional IT freelancer. I have just secured a 9 month contract in Copenhagen which may extend into 2016. I typically commute home at weekends and my wife joins me abroad for occasional long weekends. Outside of work hours, I'm on holiday in a foreign country with a different culture, language, cuisine, architecture, currency, places to visit and so on, so this weights my work-life balance in favour of life! I like to travel, meet new people, try new things and broaden my horizons. I have worked in England, Scotland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and now Denmark, typically on three month contracts that have extended to up-to 18 months. I have friends and colleagues in all of the countries that I have worked and more. Life is what you make of it. Enjoy it!
Interests: travel, fishing, wine tasting, cooking, water sports, home, family, walking, surfing the internet, Art, diy, my dogs, gardening, architecture, genealogy

Read this if you are planning on moving to Denmark... by Mackadamian

Well said and well written Mackadamian! My son came here from the UK to University for two post-graduate masters degrees and for the two years that he was here, he could not even get a bar job to provide some pocket money. Despite being a ... Read More

Hi Ioanna, I agree with Kasem, it must be quite difficult being alone during the day. But there's no reason to stay in all day long, the weather is getting better and it's worth going for a walk to explore your new area. Most Danes speak ... Read More

Looking for accomodation in Copenhagen by BritInCPH

Hi, I've just started work in Copenhagen and I thought it would be straight forward to find accommodation once I got here, but it's proving more challenging than I imagined. I do contract work and my contract does not guarantee I'm here ...
