Keri Bloomfield
Keri Bloomfield is a Kiwi mum in Denmark and a witty observer of cultural nuances.
Born in Upper Hutt, New Zealand, she now lives in Copenhagen with a Dane, their daughter and far too many bakeries.
She enjoys confusing others with New Zealand slang while wrestling with her lifetime commitment to speaking Danish.
Before Denmark (BD) she could be found enjoying a flat white under the guise of a coffee meeting in Wellington or Auckland. On weekends you would have likely found her cycling around the Miramar Peninsula or, together with her brother, organising a triathlon series in Wellington.
Nothing Like a Dane is her debut memoir.
