I’m back, dear reader!
It’s been a long break and I hope you had a good time over the holidays, but now that it’s winter minus the festive cheer, I thought you might appreciate this newsletter’s return :)
For those of you who have recently subscribed and only have a vague idea of what this newsletter is about, let me explain briefly. This is a cultural events newsletter geared primarily towards internationals on a budget. I curate a weekly event list that focuses on mainly non-Danish and affordable events.
For those who have been reading these newsletters for a while, there will be a few minor changes. Since we’ve already established that it takes me A-Lot-Of-Time™ to curate these lists (and I am about to start another passion project that is loosely related to this passion project) I won’t be going crazy and listing 20 events AND won’t be giving all the details of the events here anymore, like I used to. Instead, I’ll give you a brief overview of each event so you can click on it and see if it's your cup of tea. I’m hoping this will reduce the amount of time I’ll spend, so let’s see. But do click on the links, the details may surprise you, give them a chance :)
(I believe it is important to note at this point that I am not affiliated with any of these events, venues, etc.)
Also, this week the list’s a bit weak, but that’s winter for you, we’re all trying to get by 🤷♀️
