The journey to work is indeed an important one. \u00a0The journey though is not so clear for international school teachers, when looking for jobs at schools and cities\/countries to which they have never been. \u00a0So let’s share what we know!<\/p>\n

One of our members, who works at the\u00a0Copenhagen International School\u00a0<\/a>(Copenhagen, Denmark)<\/span>\u00a0described his\u00a0way to work as follows:<\/p>\n

\"2014-08-28<\/a>In August, there is plenty of light in the morning; always good for putting a smile on your face and good thoughts in your mind. Also the weather is a bit fresh already in the morning, meaning you need a light jacket on during this time of the year. \u00a0As I leave my apartment building, I see a sea of bikes and people on bikes zooming by me. Gotta keep a keen eye on the street and the sidewalk to check for other pedestrians and bike riders otherwise you will be run over!<\/p>\n

Next I get on my bike, glad that it wasn’t stolen the night before. I choose to leave my bike (locked) on the sidewalk every night, even though it is very common to get your bike stolen in Copenhagen. I have a place to put it inside my building, but it is more convenient to just leave it on the sidewalk. Also, I have never got my bike stolen, but many…many people here do. I got my bike for free actually (It was gifted to me when a colleague left the school to move back to his home country), so I’m not too worried about it getting stolen. It is definitely not the first bike that a stealer would choose to steal as it is pretty old looking.<\/p>\n

\"2014-08-28<\/a>As much as I would like to ride my bike all the way to school, I choose to just ride my bike to the nearest train station (a 2-minute ride). If I do ride my bike all the way to school, it would take\u00a0around 25-30 minutes. \u00a0In a few minutes, I am at the train station. There is usually a space to park and lock my bike nearby. Then I walk up a few steps to get to a long bridge-like walkway. \u00a0The walkway spans 8 tracks I think. It is a big station. There are two ways I can get to the train station near to my school (Hellerup), the S-train and the regional train. \u00a0If you miss one train, there is always another one coming soon. The regional train might be a bit faster because it doesn’t make any stops to Hellerup, the S-train stops at two train stations in between my station and Hellerup.<\/p>\n

The S-train can have a lot of people, so it can be crowded (not so fun), so when I can get on the regional train, I do that instead. The train ride is maybe 4-6 minutes long and then I’m at Hellerup. Many people get off here as it is another hub for many trains. \u00a0Typically I run into other staff members on the train or getting off at Hellerup. \u00a0We say good morning and then walk together to get to the school campus. \u00a0The walk from Hellerup to the campus is like 1 minute. \u00a0The current school location is VERY convenient to public transportation; super important when working at an international school.<\/p>\n

\"2014-08-28<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"2014-08-28<\/a><\/p>\n

My total journey to work, if I time everything right, is between 12-15 minutes. Super convenient. I forgot to mention that I could also take a nearby bus to work, but that would not be the best choice. \u00a0The bus can be very crowded as well and the journey is longer, maybe 20-25 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"2012-05-29When it is a sunny morning (which it usually is during this time of the year), the journey to\u00a0Copenhagen International School<\/a>\u00a0is a really great one. It is so relaxing usually and oh I forgot to mention you can watch the sea go by as you look out the window of the train!<\/p>\n

Copenhagen International School<\/a>\u00a0is actually building a whole new, purpose-built school. It is going to be located even closer to my apartment! \u00a0The best part of this new school campus is its location. \u00a0The new location will be on the water. I can’t wait!!<\/p>\n

Currently, we have\u00a014<\/b>\u00a0international schools listed in Denmark\u00a0on our website. \u00a06<\/strong>\u00a0of them have had comments submitted on them by our members.
