In June 2018, I packed three suitcases and booked a one-way flight from Texas to join my husband in Denmark. My husband viewed the apartment in person and sent me photos while I was still in Dallas. But we had to pay two month's rent upfront, and three month's rent as a security deposit. The main area in our apartment is one big room that includes our kitchen, dining room and living room. I'm able to enjoy the time that I'm not at work because I'm not as stressed out anymore.
