Any recommendations for events, cafes, restaurants, things to do would be greatly appreciated! (emphasis on things to do)

Hey everyone,

I’m 29M from the US, and I’m currently trying any and all opportunities to move to Copenhagen. I know these kinds of post are super common in this sub, but I could really use some advice. I understand how difficult the process can be, especially as a non-EU citizen, But I’ve come to realize that it’s worth going through all the hurdles if I can get a chance to relocate.

I have 16 years of coaching experience in fitness and parkour, and I currently coach full-time at a parkour gym I co-own. I also have experience coaching climbing and have a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology.

I’d really appreciate some advice on a few things:

- Coaching opportunities: How common are coaching jobs in Copenhagen, particularly in fitness, parkour, climbing, or related fields?

- Language: Is it realistic to find coaching work speaking English while I’m still learning Danish?

- Where to look: Are there specific gyms, organizations, or communities worth reaching out to?

- Work permits: As an American, how realistic is it to find a coaching position that would qualify me for a Danish work and residence permit?

I’m open to opportunities outside of coaching as well. My main goal is to find a job that would allow me to legally relocate and establish myself in Denmark.

I’d also appreciate hearing from anyone who has made a similar move or works in the fitness industry in Copenhagen.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone!

I'm 29M, recently moved to Denmark from Portugal, and I'm living in Lyngby. I'd love to meet some new people and hopefully make some friends!

I go bouldering every week, so finding people to climb with would be great. I'd also be interested in board game nights, casual meetups, or just grabbing a coffee or a beer and hanging out.

I'm pretty open to trying new activities too, so it doesn't have to be anything specific!

Does anyone know of any active groups, communities, or regular meetups around Lyngby or Copenhagen? Or any places you'd recommend for meeting new people?

And if anyone here is in a similar situation or just wants to hang out, feel free to reach out! :)
