A blog in English about Sonderborg city and municipality. The blog is written by the Maltese Ann and Danish Michael that moved to Sonderborg at the end of 2011. The blog focuses on life as an expat, local culture and outings and other things the two others come across in their life in Sonderborg.
About me: I am a Maltese girl, who fell in love with a Dane in Prague. I just started a job close to Sonderborg, so we have both moved there (via London, where we lived for a while). I am excited about this new country and city, and look forward to learning and experiencing more in the area.
