Expat & Travel Blog
This August marks our 4th year in Sweden… Can you believe it? Sometimes, it still feels like we have just arrived. In this article, we wanted to share our expatriation story. The reasons why we are living abroad and why we have decided to stay in Sweden once we graduated from our master’s program. 4…
Some days ago, we have asked you on Instagram, if you’d have any questions for us. One of these questions was “is it easy to be an expat in Sweden?”. It is something that we never really asked ourselves before and I found it very interesting. We started reflecting on this and, let me tell…
For many Swedes, July is the most awaited month of the year, as the daylight and ‘high’ temperatures allow enjoying outdoors and beautiful nature. Personally, I love the warm climate, endless BBQs, and rooftop bars. However, there are a few things that are hard to get used to during this month. Hence, I decided to…
