My younger daughter just recently (a) quit her job at LinkedIn, (
emptied out her NYC apt, (c) packed up her boyfriend and cat, and (d) moved to Denmark.

That is amazing! good for them
I kinda regret not having the guts to do stuff like this in my 20s - glad SHE does!
same. same. same.
I love it!
the boyfriend's gets a special nod - he doesn't speak a lick of Danish (yet!)
wow! 
I wish I’d had the guts to do that too! At least I had the guts to get out of my hometown. Best of luck to them!
My sister's like that. She'll just pick up and move when the spirit takes her.
reading this I was like 
but then I realized that I did do that in my 20s (minus the cat and the boyfriend)

I'm so glad you're supportive!
and awesome because I just started learning Danish lol
tell your daughter your friends from the computer wish her well and are cheering her on!
I’ll try to find a way to explain that

how old is your daughter, coy? I was 25 when I moved
26 - about the same, now you mention it. And as with your story, she’s back to school.
ah! she'll be just fine. what an exciting time!
and her Danish is passable? for survival?
So she says!
I suspect most Danes can speak English when they need to.
Oh yes, English is pervasive there, apparently - as she’d assured the bf. Then the first two people they interacted with upon arrival spoke/ understood ZERO English… that raised his eyebrows a bit
YESSSSS as a leaper myself, I fully endorse this and am cheering for her!
Oh cool! Yeah, I definitely wish I was more courageous when I was younger. I’m making up for it now, I guess.
MaudelineKranfel: most certainly you are!
