Hi all!

We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

UK inhabitant here. Is being invited to someone's house a casual thing in the US? I don't think I've ever been invited by someone who isn't a close friend.

I lived in Italy and Germany and it does happen here. Mostly with friends you already know reasonably well though.

Greece here, we invite people to our homes all the time, even if we don't know them very well.
