ABCiE=American Black Chick in Europe. I write. I wander. I wonder. Not necessarily in that order.

No lions, no tigers and no bears but oh my what a fabulous show at Cirkusbygningen in Copenhagen with @Ethelene_Whit! #WallmansCPH

So I've been meaning to write a post on dating in Denmark for ages. This ain't that post 😆. But apps are an important part of dating in Denmark, at least among the expats I've spoken with - so here we are, the good, bad and meh about dating apps! https://t.co/qFg2F7XOFQ

And for 9 years, I've been horrifying Danes by putting sacrilegious toppings on my Danish smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) - can't nobody tell me leverpostej (Danish pâté) and blue cheese together ain't both magical and delicious. #ISaidWhatISaid 😂

My 🇩🇰 Danniversary 🇩🇰 has once again rolled around and I once again almost forgot it - 9 years ago today I landed in a cold, snowy Copenhagen.

@nicolenewblack Did all 4 of mine in one go,the root of one broke off in my jaw and had to have oral surgery a few days later to get it out. It sucked. Would definitely go for all 4 at once of you can to get it over with.

Great rundown from @iamjohnoliver on issues around rocking natural hair/traditional hairstyles. Also, there must be black writers on his staff - his knowledge of how to apply a lacefront is more extensive than I would have expected... https://t.co/gYepDztVJS

So it’s been a minute (ok more than 4 years 😬) since the last Hot Man Candy Spotlight - but I’m sure y’all will feel the wait was worth it! Without further ado, meet Niko: https://t.co/bsC5HYDR2F

I’m a Southerner. Southerners talk to strangers. A lot. You know who doesn’t do that? Danes. Which I learned after a Dane literally RAN AWAY FROM ME when I started a conversation with him soon after I moved to #Denmark. Read the full story: https://t.co/v2yCfz6ZxV

After a (long) hiatus the American Black Chick in Europe blog is back with a new look and new address: https://t.co/ybRlv6iuLY! I'm working on some new posts now but do feel free to drop me some suggestions on topics you'd like to see covered!

[Terra @ABCiE]

My fellow Americans abroad, don't forget to request your absentee ballot! I could say I don't care who you plan on voting for but I do. Vote anyway - if you don't, you forfeit the right to vent to me about the government for the next 4 years. #VoteMofos

Why yes, that is a lambanana. Why no, I have no idea what that is either but there were several in #Liverpool - most with less creepy faces than this one.

[Terra @ABCiE]

Hello Liverpool! I had no expectations before visiting. Pleasantly surprised how much I ♥️ it. Definitely took a bit of time to get used to the (charming) Scouse accent. I rarely remember to post while travelling, so this is a late post - as in I'm already back in Denmark. 😬

@JoyousWorks Good guess! It's Welsh :-)

[Terra @ABCiE]

Who wants to guess where I was yesterday based on this sign?

[Terra @ABCiE]

@JoyousWorks It's crazy right?! The time has flown by!

7 years ago today, I stepped off a plane in #Copenhagen after spending a month in Singapore as part of my new job in #Denmark to significantly colder temperatures and snow. I wondered what I'd gotten myself into. It's been a fun ride :-D. #StillHere #HappyDanniversaryToMe
