Work opportunities
I didn't explore any work options.
Personal spending habits:
Because I had limited funds, I did not want to spend too much on food groceries.
Housing was more expensivew because my rent was very high. Since most of my friends lived in the same building or around the corner, there was no immediate need to use my mobile phone to call. Because calling here is more expensive (in Denmark I had a prepaid card, while at home I have a montly subscription) I text-messaged a lot. I went out more often in Denmark, leading me to spend more in the Nightlife category.
If you're on exchange you want to see more of the countries and of the surrounding countries.
In general, prices in Denmark are a bit higher than in the Netherlands.
