Flights and the full picture

Return flights from Europe added about 12,000 DKK (1,610 EUR / 1,740 USD), so the whole month including flights came to roughly 32,000 DKK for the two of us. One person is cheaper per head, but not half, because rent and coworking do not split evenly.

Cash is king
Most things are paid in cash and ATMs can run dry, so withdraw a little extra.
Book coworking early
Monthly seats at CoCo Space sell out, so reserve before you fly.
Two on one scooter
Riding two up halves your transport cost straight away.
