Tror du att jag tänker avslöja det? 😉

[@BillAndersonNS]

I am 76 years old now but I was in my twenties when I learned that "Life is not a dress rehearsal". Your video embodies that philosophy perfectly. Thank you.

[@noahmanniche2319]

one of the best things ive done in my life was coming to this event. Thank you so much kalle

[@KalleFlodin]

You have no idea how happy that makes to hear Noah 🥰 hope to see you at The Bagel store soon 😉

[@wheresrobbie]

Awwwww I have happy tears as it was so much fun again to come and be part of this. Thanks for catching me sinking at the pond and even though I smelt terrible I had the most fun … thanks so much Kalle and everyone at the municipality as you did it again. Lots of love and see you soon 😘😘

[@KalleFlodin]

Thank you for making the effort of coming the event Rob ❤ Haha you sinking is actually one of my absolute favorite clips 😂

[@wheresrobbie]

@@KalleFlodin I can’t believe you got it on video as it all happened so quick. Made me laugh out loud!!

[@karenleighfischer8564]

The video is amazing. My family loved it. They are asking when do we move. Thank you for giving me and the children such an opportunity and experience. Hope to see you in the near future. ❤

[@reynoldsglunt1059]

I just saw that happening on the video literally like five minutes ago!! That was so funny!! Looks like everyone had an amazing time in the wintertime visit and the summer visit!!

[@JudithLuimes]

we moved to Jämtland exactly one year ago: slower pace of life, living close to nature, more connection. Best decision ever!

[@LilliSkog]

What an ambassador you are, Kalle! Goosebumps ~ Check! Teary eyed ~ Check! Inspired ~ Ooooh yes 🌲🏡🌲

[@KalleFlodin]

I really appreciate that Lilli, thank you ❤❤❤

[@mford66215]

These gatherings must be wonderful. You are a good representative of how welcoming the people are where you live, and the municipality must be very happy with the results. Brilliant!

[@EmelieNilsson]

Du är verkligen en fantastisk ambassadör för det bästa Sverige har att bjuda på! Så kul att människor från andra länder får se Sveriges vackra natur och träffa människor som du.

[@kalpik]

So amazing to relive all the memories, especially that fall on the eBike haha! Thank you so much for inviting me, it was definitely one of the best experiences ever for me 😊

[@angelanoftle2885]

You are making dreams come true for people who would have never taken the chance. Thankyou Kalle ❤

[@KalleFlodin]

It's the least I can do ❤️

[@erik....]

Du gör ett så sjukt bra jobb med det här Kalle, klart du ska vara stolt. Det är en vinst för hela Västernorrland.

[@KalleFlodin]

Det var väldigt fint sagt, tack Erik 😊❤

[@LenethWitte]

Thank you for the amazing weekend, the great chats and the wonderful hospitality. We hope to find our home there next year, already missing it! What a wonderful video to have something to look back on too. It was an honour to have this experience 🙏🏼❤️

[@krasimiray]

Enjoyed watching this video a lot! Great people and great experience they had. Thank you Kalle! :)

[@KalleFlodin]

Thank you for watching Krassi 🥰 hope you can join one day! ❤️

[@krasimiray]

@@KalleFlodin That would be great indeed :)

[@JimmyHansson-r8q]

Why all the sheds? Because you do need them there. Firewood processing and storage. Summer and winter vehicles such as cars, bikes, snowmobiles, skis, your mandatory "spark", maybe a quadbike plus maintenance and storage. Summer/winter gardening/forestry/snow clearing equipment maintenance and storage. Water related things, boats, fishing gear etc..A sauna is quite common. Even a tractor is not a bad idea living like this. Believe me - if you buy a property without sheds, you will start building them pretty soon.

[@ollenilssonen]

So much fun hearing all their stories and dreams. These events looks like such a great and inspiring time 😊

[@KalleFlodin]

Happy you liked it Olle 🥰 yea I agree, the stories are the best part!

[@Patricia-Wafoes]

What a nice and sweet group of people.

[@catherinelaffargue4418]

[@KalleFlodin]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it 🥰

[@stevefranks1711]

What an inspiring, positive, wonderful video. Kalle, you have turned out to be a real Pied Piper for bringing people to Sweden, for short and long durations. Perhaps I will meet you one day? Hope springs eternal. Peace and Love.

[@agnesskibicka]

@stevefranks1711, what a nice comment 😊. Greetings from the Polish countryside 🏡🐕 and my channe!

Oh so fun to see this again! Even for the second time it felt so special. And also fun to meet new people and meet some familiar faces again :) .

I'm so happy you could join the event Petyr 🥰 hope to see you soon!

[@QuesttoFIRE]

I may not be moving to northern Sweden, but I submitted my residence permit request earlier this month! Fingers crossed for a quick approval, and then I can join my Swedish hubs in our house by the water in Värmland. 🥰🇸🇪

Replication is the best compliment, it’s a fantastic movement 😊.

[@rbphilip]

Another great experience for newcomers. Looks so fun.

[@KalleFlodin]

Maybe join us next time? 😊

[@ArleneOgston-of4fx]

We’ve already watched it twice 😃 Nice memories of the July meetup event in Sollefteå. Comments of being comfortable and feeling a strong sense of community resonate. Thank you, Kalle and the Sollefteå komune, for organising all the events. Eagerly anticipating the next one. Arlene & Simon (also from NL 🇳🇱)

[@jamesmaclean7324]

Great to see you and your dog and your son and what looks like incredible new friends.Look forward to your videos.

Hi Kalle, I LOVE your new vlog of your time together with like minded, happy people!!! You are the perfect host and I watched this vlog twice and showed my husband. He is looking at houses in Sweden on the internet!!! My goodness, one never knows what the future holds. Wishing you and your family a Happy Autumn!!! 🧡🍁🍁🍁💛❣

[@KalleFlodin]

Hope to see you soon then Bernardo 😍

[@yasindigenousnativeexpeditions]

We got a cabin in the forest outside of Sollefteå, Sara was our realtor that sold us our beautiful place. Well I am glad that there are some lucky people out there that have managed to get some expert advice from you. Stay well maybe we get to meet some time in the future😉

[@tammasgrogan3482]

I’m so envious of all your guests. I’m from Canada, and I moved to a rural area 7 years ago. It hasn’t been as private as I’d imagined, so I still dream of a remote cabin ❤

[@KalleFlodin]

Never to late to try something new again! 😊

[@josephr9551]

What a gorgeous place to go hiking / trekking / trail biking!

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

It's been my dream my entire life to buy a simple cottage in the forest and live off the land. Working hard on that goal! Can't wait until I finally get my KZbin channel monetized, because that will be the next step in making that dream even closer. ❤️ I grew up in the forest as a free child and I can't wait to get back to that one day soon.

[@KalleFlodin]

Hope you will get there one day soon ❤

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

What is your KZbin channel? I will watch. Thank you Ellary!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!! If we weren't so connected with our home town (kids, grandkids, etc) I would totally try to talk my husband into moving to your area!!! This is so inspiring and I'm so happy for the people who have found real estate and I hope the prospectors will find something as well! 💖 Thank you, Kalle, for another awesome video! ✌

Life long dream. The older I get, the more soul screams for this kind of life. Not just the need to move into the forest and live in harmony with nature, but to have a community like you’ve created.

Kalle what a lovely bunch of people and I thank you for sharing these events. I look forward to seeing them and they all have lovely personalities. Glad some of them have found a place to buy in Sweden. Even the guy who had an accident with his bike made no great deal out of it and having grazed himself. The Dutch couple were so sweet, I hope they find what they want. Can not wait for the next time they all come back together again. Thank you for taking us house hunting, I enjoyed that too not to mention the swapping of snacks and watching what people thought of the stuff. Have a lovely day.

@@KalleFlodin thanks,I need to sort some things and sell up here, been trying to get organised for last 2years but had set backs. Soon as can get things lined up & sorted, I'll be making a move 100%! Ps. No idea about the logistics even though I follow you and a couple other channels of people who made the move.. I don't know anyone in Sweden and I'd be starting from pretty much the EXACT SAME Point as you did! (& Alone also now) So big step! That's why a bit of advice would be great when I'm in position to do it!

Wonderful video! You can really tell through even these brief moments how wholesome this entire group is! Its been a dream of mine to move to Sweden some day and this video just brings even more clarity to my dream. And yes it is quite scary specially without knowing people from the area so I believe these events will have a great positive impact on people like myself. Thank you Kalle for sharing! Will definitely be keeping an eye open for the next event!

I am blown away by that farm for $130,000. That would be more than $800,000 in Colorado, USA, minimum. And it would probably still be rundown. I can't do mortgages over $200,000. Absolute flabbergasted.

[@patriciacinea3097]

I sigh and think, "freedom." The largest home costing equivalent of $130,000 U.S. dollars would be over $1 million and up here in the States, dependent on location. The property taxes high, too. What are the property taxed to government like in Sweden? Very enjoyable video. Making dreams come true!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I believe you get taxed extremely heavy, compared to the US. I believe it includes healthcare etc, but you definitely do not make as much $.

[@patriciacinea3097]

@@cumberlandquiltchic1 Thank you for replying. Seems like a trade off.

[@jnwood8611]

It all comes down to taxes. The price of the home is far less relevant. There's a reason why it's starry eyed people of modest means, who have been priced out of their countrys' housing market, looking at these homes. Once they get real, about their tax burden, the picture gets a lot clearer.

[@Oggiwara1]

I lived in Sweden for a few years 35 years ago. I would have moved back to Sweden if it was not for the harsh tax regime with 30-35% tax on my pension and the really cold winters. Because otherwise, the rural and semi rural areas of Sweden is pure wonderland.
