5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Moving to Sweden - Just a Brit Abroad

So here's 5 of the things that I wish I'd known before I moved to Sweden🇸🇪😱but I know I'm not the only one whose new to this fantastic country, so let me know below if you think I've missed something which deserves its place on this list😆what do you wish someone had told you? Or if you're Swedish, what can you imagine might be a little bit foreign to someone setting foot in Sverige for the first time😳can't wait to hear what you all think! have a fantastic Sunday🙌🏻

Espresso House canceled their coffee subscription; was not profitable.

Worst things , cashless society and muskitoes

I prefer lineups at drive thrus to queues on a "pavement"

Healthcare?

Sweden is so gorgeous during the summer. There's a Right to Roam law, you can swim in most lakes and camp anywhere appropriate. Plus, with a land mass almost twice that of the UK but only a fraction of the population, you can easily find a quiet spot. Most of my Swedish friends take a long hemester (staycation) in the summer (very many have a sommarstuga (holiday cottage) in the countryside, then fly to the Canaries, Portugal or mainland Spain for a Winter break from the dark & cold. Magic!

Hi my name is charlie I thinking about moving to Sweden I love your video

Just a bunch of exaggerated lies.
-Most people are lazy slobs just like in any other developed nation.
-The 'industry-holiday' only applies to just that, the industry. That's like 10-20% of the population and even then it's not a rule.
-There's never a queue for queueing tickets, that's literally the whole point.

I have been living in Sweden for six months and I feel severe depression💔

What is social culture like!?

helpful thank you

Fuck me!!!!!!!! i will survive in Sverige so well, it's my dream contry o live in, this video confirmed it, fucking suscribed.

Well everyone isnt out running intervalls, but yeah, good video! 👍

Sweden is dreadful for coffee. Not many espresso machines anywhere outside the cities. I love the place but it’s a real let down to not have good espresso coffee available anywhere. And the one that have it open so late. One of the very few downfalls to the beautiful country

None of you Europeans actually have the right to defend yourselves.

Omg coffee in 🇸🇪

Queuing is part of the culture unless your at a bus stop then as soon as the doors open its a free for all. I'm here now

Same in the Netherlands

The caffeine ingestion rate requires the walking/running/working out to burn it off before bedtime, lol

Do you speak Swedish and what's it like for English speakers?

\What do you do in Sweden for work? Id love to move one day, I used to be a nurse and looking for HR/Equality & Diversity jobs to change my career..but Id love to work in Sweden and not sure whats available for British people

So everybody is high on coffee well drinking coffee is your choice it's not mandatory I'm sure and as for exercise I guess it would do more good than harm ask for queueing up that is just a part of life these days so really other than eating whale meat which I highly disagree with Sweden doesn't sound it bad to me

Good morning I love your videos, could you tell me what website you used to apply for jobs in Sweden, I’m looking at Stockholm. Please assist!!

Not really important to active in physical sports. What is important in Sweden is if you are in an activity; that may be a gym, a group of people sightseeing or a roleplaying or boardgame group. Coffee chains in Sweden sucks. Just go to any ordinary cafe or restaurant and you get great coffee. No shut down in July, not even in small towns. Dark? There is a problem here with too much light pollution. Queues: yes they exist outside of some popular night clubs in Stockholm. Anywhere else? No, not really. Have you even been in Sweden?

Good information👍

I think Sweden beats the UK hands down in almost everything.

Swede here!
1/5 things this video said actually applies to "living in Sweden" - And that is: "it gets dark".
The other 4/5 are totally anecdotal...
...I think... or assume... or... I dunno....
Can't really tell ...
Don't @ me as I can't say for sure due to:
I don't wanna brag about my knowledge regarding my way of living.
Skål!

Yes!!! the darkness :D

So...why do you "...wish you knew.." about coffee before you went to Sweden? By the way, that should be " wish I had known.." . Hope you're not teaching English there.

Exercise, coffee, and shut down in July: this American says yes to these aspects!!! No wonder Swedes are more happy!

Recykling and healthy Swedish food

Hej jag är svensk.

I moved there like i was 3

Have you been somewhere in Middle east? You haven´t seen dark yet :-D

Wow you talk so fast, me beeing Swedish. Relax and have a paus and take a breath. :)

As far as i can tell, renting a flat in sweden is like half the cost of flats in uk. Do you find yourself financially better off in sweden?

Very useful! Much appreciated ☺️

I just moved from Sweden a week ago. Went there to stay, found a job but they don’t accept you to start working without the personal number, and the personal number takes from a month to a year depending on your luck. And meanwhile you have to live there with your sufficient resources which means a lot of money considering the housing market and cost of life. Very disappointed

I live in Sweden and I searched this to see how bad sweden is I hate it

I am in the category of "I am from somewhere else but lived in Sweden for 2 years when I was young".
I have nothing but good memories and would love to re-visit some day. Your page brings back so much good memories

I am one of those ppl who hates to work out 😩 and I am surrounded by triathletes, cross-fitters, cyclists etc etc! Uuuuuugh, they are everywhere…! And they drag me along and I can’t understand why they keep doing it because I’m the whiniest person ever when I work out 😂😂

And the coffee obsession is so true… I have just received my new coffee grinder I’v been saving up for and I’m waiting for my new brewer! 😁😁 Coffee is the fuel of life.😐

Well, it's actually a law that you are allowed to have 4 connected weeks of vacation in June, July or August.
You don't have to, but a lot of places wants you to at least take 2 weeks in a row

I really wanted to move too Sundsvall, although since am not double jabbed as I don’t want it my opinion, this went downhill pretty quickly unfortunately ):

vacation... august is have become even better the june.. :)

AaaAaa . Here in Denmark that same year of 1997 we were not allowed to slap our children at home. And since 1967-1968 the children certainly not in school. :-)

I love it, for sure the #1. I might be the lazy one but I have coworkers that go out for runs during the lunch break. Because yes, my workplace actually have showers... (I'm an office worker...)

I'm 56 years old and have drunk no more than three cups of coffee in my entire life. Yes, there are Swedes who aren't members of the Cult of Coffee. Now, a nice cuppa tea, on the other hand...

You need to stand on the righthand side of the rulltrappa, i dont remember the word for that right now but hope you understand

This guy is underrated
