I am moving to SWEDEN - on a whim

[@Projectsweden]

Welcome to sweden! We also moved to Sweden recently. We are renovating our entire house right now 😄

[@lisasomewhere88]

That sounds great! Good luck with that! Unfortunately we just had to leave just recently.. but if we could have stayed longer, we would have.. :)

[@debbiedusterhoft2870]

This should be interesting to watch.

[@BohoBlueVan]

I am very interested in watching your Sweden life! Upload often!

[@lisasomewhere88]

I´ll try my best :)

[@joeyrains5876]

I'm a sophomore in college currently studying engineering and my girlfriend and I are very interested in Sweden. I'm interested to see how you both like the transition as we are seriously considering it after i graduate! (Edit: we are from America)

[@lisasomewhere88]

Hej! That sounds great! I hope you get some insight out of this! :) Just make sure you have your visa situation figured out if none of you two are EU citizens. But I think if you would potentially like to continue school here, that could help with a smoother transition.. (and it´s MUCH cheaper) :) That might be easier than getting a job here. But I am no expert in that, haha. Aside from that - if you prefer city or country life there´s great options here in Sweden. We just prefer the country life. :)

[@Skottir8an]

You are so welcome 😊

Yeah…having the car registered on a “friend” is illegal as hell and will get you into serous trouble if your in an accident (no insurance, no taxes paid; the whole burden is put on you, even if the other person is at fault).

3.25 no sleep til midnight.

What's the "sweden book" you were talking about? :) Now imagine if you were to buy a house, quite a few people have done that route instead and it seems to a whole other level of bureaucracy :D

[@lisasomewhere88]

Oh, haha, I meant the "Sweden Bug" :) I was like "what book did I talk about?" And yes, I believe that that would be a tough one, too. But there´s more info on that out there than for buying a car, I think. Cause most Europeans just bring their own cars here. :)

[@Ca11mero]

HAHA! Makes more sense now :D I see, haven't thought about that but you are right! There are a few channels here on youtube renovating a cabin and living here so it's not impossible :). @@lisasomewhere88

[@PerHolmqvist-b1s]

I suppose you know by now that stick shift isn't that difficult!

[@lisasomewhere88]

Haha, yes I do. :)

[@Frendh]

Electricity is quite expensive in Sweden.

[@lisasomewhere88]

True, but our landlord had a good electricity deal luckily...

[@hakankinnunen3270]

Jag är uppvuxen i norra Sverige. Och jag förstår inte varför man vill lämna detta???. Ens bara för några veckor.

[@lisasomewhere88]

Haha, yes, I understand your point! It is so lovely here!

[@RobertClaeson]

So am I, now living in the UK. That just means I appreciate it so much more whenever I come back to visit.

[@hakankinnunen3270]

Enligt mig så finns det inget bättre land än Sverige.

[@FRIPPE_THE_GREAT]

Stumbled into the Channel and cringes up when you considered buying a car in Southern Stockholm from a garage dealer who was offered to have "friend" to have it offical registered on his name. You are getting scammed. You pay for someone else owning the car.

[@lisasomewhere88]

Was it "his friend"? I just remember mentioning if I had a friend register in in their name.. anyways.. sketchy for sure, I don't think I would have done that either way, haha.

Swedes trying to survive the economic winter.... Meanwhile...."I think I'll move to Sweden." 😂

[@davidborgstrom]

You think this "economic winter" is specifically Swedish?
