Funny how this is a relative measure. If you look at the best places for expats in Europe, Denmark ranks super low compared to any average EU country. It is hard to feel included and the weather is not for everyone.
I also think brazilians would have a hard time with the income tax, even if there are many things “for free” in the Danish system.
