This makes me want to go back to Stockholm been there twice already. Love your videos greetings From Canada

[@HeyBigHead23]

Why does every apartment, store, etc. look like it came straight out of a catalog? I love the Swedish aesthetic. Every space is so simple, chic, natural, and minimalistic. Gosh, I absolutely it!

[@casscline66]

And the shops are so neat and tidy....and the beautiful food!

[@gladysperez8156]

I love it too. It’s so refreshing to enjoy the beauty of Sweden 🇸🇪. It looks so peaceful, calm and relaxed. Sometimes, I feel that I didn’t know much about it and Ms. Benita’s video presentation bring in me the desire to go visit the country.🙏

It is publicity video or we see a rich people or manipulated, not ordinary home and not most Swedes at all have like this.

It's a law in Sweden somehow your not allowed to film a person without asking permission... They value the integrity of the person.

I used to own a sign that said: “Dogs have owners, cats have staff”. We have 1 dog and 3 cats and it is completely true. I always enjoy the aesthetic of your style and videos. Thanks for taking us along! 🐶 🌻 🐈

I love long summer days. This year I’ve started getting up at 6am instead of my usual 7am and I enjoy my morning coffee looking out to my garden. Where I live in the UK Sun is rising about 5am and setting 9.20pm. I love the feeling of extra time in the evenings and feel sad our days are already shortening

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m always enjoying the changing of the seasons so by the time it gets darker I’m on board with that too 😊

[@missmayflower]

Nice apartments, but yours is so unique, having that great patio. It’s good to see you looking so healthy and energetic these days. Thanks so much for sharing your little corner of the world. It’s such a relaxing break to watch one of your videos and helps me sort my priorities.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@jessdalton185]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@Garoky1]

I love watching how people live in other countries. Love learning how we’re similar and how we differ. Where I live in 🇨🇦, sunrise is currently at 5:30am and sunset is at 10:30 but doesn’t get fully dark until midnight. We have blackout curtains in our bedroom so that it’s dark enough to sleep. I love the long days but if I’m not paying attention I’ll stay up way too late!

[@daninglesonline1526]

So weird at 10 p.m. it is still day time lol. Benita, I love watching videos about your routine,shops you visit and so on, I am trying to live by a philosophy I have kind of made up which is having the "comfort of home", you set up for having a peaceful routine,house and food, your videos certainly agree with it.

I envy the time you get to spend outdoors in summer. I wake up at 5:00AM so that I can walk my dog and get my workout in before the heat of the day which as of late has been 101 degrees by 8:00AM here in Phoenix, AZ. Much of our time is spent indoors in the air-conditioning which was never a problem before, but with being inside for so long during the Pandemic, the last thing I want to do is be inside! I wouldn't mind the long days in Sweden, however, it may be a challenge getting used to sunlight at 10:00PM. Thanks for the share, Benita, always a pleasure.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I would have a hard time with that heat! It’s 28 C here today and quite enough 😅

[@margarethoskins6625]

😣

[@dianeyoung8068]

I can relate, an early walk and stuck inside for most of the day here in North Carolina, it is not quite as hot but very humid and mid-nineties.

[@denisecarter5117]

I am envious also. I think this heat has ruined summer or maybe it’s my age, 70 but only morning is nice. I have umbrellas over my petunias because they can’t stand this heat either 106 yesterday. Texas panhandle.

Thanks so much for the tour. I love Stockholm. My grandparents moved to Canada from there. I visited in 2019 in the summer for an extended vacation with my best friend, who is Danish. I miss the coffee and cinnamon buns, museums and other sites, and traveling on the waterways, and of course, the people.

[@vivio2852]

I loved this day in your life, Benita! Your patio is heavenly, what a luxury to have in a big city.

[@BenitaLarsson]

It’s really nice but we don’t use it very much these days to be honest 😊

[@hellocaroh]

Loved to see the city from your perspective 😌

[@jillengel4124]

Have to take care of the animals first thing in the morning! Isn’t it amazing how fast they train us. Loved seeing the shops & the merchandise they carry. If you were to move where your friends & son live would you be able to find a place with a nice patio like you have now? Your electric buses are just like ours only your seat covers are a lot snazzier!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Mini and Bonus don’t use the patio much to be honest. If I go out they go out but otherwise they’re usually inside on a windowsill 😅

[@jeanwhite2705]

Thank you Benita for the lovely relaxing summer visit. Your method of filming during travel is very interesting. I noticed how clean and new your sidewalks are and your buses. Bright cheerful seats but the floor was super clean, no dust and grime in corners at all. I super enjoy seeing your organized and minimal apartment. I have grown into this vibe in past couple of years following retirement. I ran a child daycare out of my home for 40+ years and furnished my home to accommodate the children’s environment. That meant a lot of organizing places for children’s toys and needs. It also meant there were very little decor items that were not very child friendly. My decor items were often limited to plastic items or stones and driftwood and natural items. Now I enjoy much cleaner surfaces and spaces without markers and many childhood creations and a much less hectic lifestyle. Have a lovely day today, everyone.🇨🇦
