A foreigner's view on Silkeborg

Silkeborg is a city with many things to offer. Both to Danes, but also to foreigners who might like to be future citizens. 
There are already numerous people from around the world living in Silkeborg. At Silkeborg Gymnasium there are 11 exchange students from countries worldwide. One of these students is 16-year-old Amelia from New Zealand, who has agreed to do an interview on her perspective of Silkeborg and the advantages and disadvantages of living in this city.
When she decided she wanted to go abroad for a year, her priority was to go to one of the Scandinavian countries of which Denmark was her first choice. She had done some research on Denmark and liked the urban culture mixed with the many fields and the nature that creates the rural surroundings.
She only knew about Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, which therefore was the city she hoped to move to. Yet after living in Silkeborg for 2 months she realized that Silkeborg is quite right for foreigners. “Silkeborg is neither too big nor too small of a city. It is perfect.” – quotation Amelia. She also mentions that she enjoys living in a city where there is life, but without it being completely crowded and stressful like the big cities are.
There are plenty of free time activities offered and if there is a need or a desire to experience even more, Amelia recommends visiting Aarhus which is the second biggest city in Denmark and only distances about 45 km from Silkerborg.
She describes Silkeborg as a beautiful and peaceful place and says that the people are lovely and that she feels very welcome. She considers Silkeborg to be the best place for foreigners in Denmark.
