Today, I will go over 5 of the most amazing things I have learnt about Sweden after being here for almost a year. Sweden is such a lovely country with even more lovely people. If you're looking to come to Sweden or just want to learn a little about this incredible country, this video will teach you a bit of what I have learnt :) Note : Josie isn't in the video as she was at work and since she is Swedish, she already knew all of this haha

@Marcus Sweden is a very individualistic country, the people are independent and individualistic. The state being expected to do certain things does not mean the people have no responsibility. Dying from not being able to afford healthcare is not a freedom.

@Marcus There are problems with waiting lines but that is not an issue with the system, it is an issue with implementation and funding and can be fixed fairly easily. In the US 40 000 people die every year because they don´t have access to basic healthcare and those deaths are by design. Everything else you said is also extremely missleading. To think that the US is more free than Sweden is truly delusional.

@Marcus The idea of property and that you can own a chunk of the country you live in or a chunk of nature that used to be free for all and prevent anyone else from going there, is a bit weird. If you are a Swede, you also know that there is a differene between private property and owning land but yet you pretend they are the same. They are not. Your argument that you should be free to take the freedom to roam away from others (by buying property) is just silly. That is not how freedom works as you well know.

@Marcus The state dealing with issues that should not be optional is not a problem. It's not like having the elderly or sick not being taken care off is a feature. The main difference between USA and Sweden is that in USA the focus is on the right to do whatever you want while in Sweden there is more focus on the freedom of not having bad things done to you. USA also focus more on protecting corporations profit while in Sweden there is more focus in protecting the individual from being exploited by the corporations.

You work less, play more, much longer vacation and thus have a much better lifestyle. Family friendly policies, healthcare for everyone - a real paradise.

Agree, Freedom is the right to use, not the right to own. Ownership reduces everyone's right to enjoy a location (product or service) and limits it to just a select few which is why l pray that when we go to the stars and start settling other planets they are settled in the name of & for the use of all humanity not just one nation. Earth should be open to all humanity to travel and enjoy, not walled off with with lines on a map because who gave anyone the right to own what was here before we arrived and will be here after we leave. If you say God, he gave it to us as a guardianship to use & protect and we have abused that right and therefore have forfeited it.

What is true freedom? In economic freedom, Sweden and the US are about equal, after socialist countries such as Denmark, Finland and Iceland. Only the last Soviet state of Norway is a little behind. The difference is that in the US companies are taxed heavily and in Sweden the working class is taxed heavily. The US does not have nearly as much privately owned land as Sweden has as a percentage. That is why Swedish forests are so well managed. Compare with the fishing in the seas that no one owns, if I do not take, someone else will take. The right to roam works because so few use it. Guess what it would look like if Sweden had a population of 100,000,000 people who have holidays in the forest instead of the Mediterranean or Thailand.

I'm also Australian and my son and his Swedish wife and 2 kids live in Stockholm, so we like to visit when we can. . Fika is sacred. . You NEVER rush fika. . It's relaxed and leisurely. . A fantastic way to unwind if you are at work, or to socialize if you are with friends or family. . I love it. There's also a joke about Swedes - but especially those from Stockholm. . During COVID, people were asked to keep 1.5 metres apart (5 feet). . The people from Stockholm joke that they can't wait for this rule to be dropped so they can go back to their NORMAL distance of 5 metres (16 feet) apart.

The food is healthy because we don’t fry our food. In school every child learn the dish model ”tallriksmodellen” 1/3 carbohydrate, 1/3 proteins and 1/3 of vegetables. Now it is more like 1/4 carbohydrate, 1/4 proteins and 1/2 vegetables. We don’t eat a lots of carbohydrate for breakfast as you do. That’s why there is always room for ”fika” 😅

In Scotland, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Austria, Czech Republic and Switzerland, the freedom to roam takes the form of general public rights which are sometimes codified in law. The access is ancient in parts of Northern Europe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam Nordic countries Ancient traces provide evidence of the freedom to roam in many European countries, suggesting such a freedom was once a common norm. Today, the right to roam has survived in perhaps its purest form in Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Here the right has been won through practice over hundreds of years[1] and it is not known when it changed from mere 'common practice' to become a commonly recognised right.

What we swedes take for granted is something that isn't usual or even existing in other countries. Just take tap water. I've had foreign people visiting my home , and they just couldn't understand that we had the same high quality fresh water in our toilets and garden hoses as in the water tap in the kitchen. So we are extremely spoiled when it comes to clean water and fresh air. That is one of the many things that we need to take care of. Good video,nice,simple and informative.

I enjoyed your summary of 5 good points about Sweden. The “free to roam” is also a Norwegian right. It’s an interesting concept.

I can just go and watch some of all the videos of Americans that live here and all you do is telling the world how great it is here... And that gives me the perspective I need.

I would say the Freedom to Roam is part of the “Frihet under ansvar” (Freedom with Responsibilities) concept that is a big part of all the nordic cultures. It means that people have fairly extensive freedoms in what they are allowed to do, but with that freedom comes the fairly deeply ingrained expectation that you won’t abuse that freedom to cause damage to people or property. Which in turn I suspect comes from our climate and sparsely populated countryside. Just the weather is harsh enough that it is more beneficial to be helpful to people you meet than to try and use or abuse them, because it will benefit both of you. And if you are not helpful, you might get turned away from a lodging or be denied help, which is potentially lethal for about 5 months of the year just from exposure to the elements. That doesn’t stop some people from being both/either inconsiderable assholes who leave trash at a camping site, or use/abuse guests or people they meet, but the majority of people will still honor the social contract of being generally helpful.

The freedom to roam in Sweden blew my American wife's mind when she visited Sweden the first time. We were driving through Sweden on the highway and she saw a random little lake about a kilometer away in the distance, down some hills and next to a small forest. So I just turned off the highway, found my way down to the lake, parked the car and walked her to the lake. She was all like "no, stop, what if we're on someone's land, won't they get mad?", so I told her about allemansrätten and she couldn't believe that everyone has the right to do that in Sweden, roam nature, find a lake, pick and eat some blueberries, go for a swim, set up camp for the night, safely make a small fire. Here in the US where I've lived for that past eight years people quite literally run the risk of getting shot and killed if they do that on private property. See a pretty lake in the distance? Good luck getting to explore it other than at best in a small designated park area where it's crowded, dirty and you have no privacy. The rest is private land and no one is allowed to enter. Even when it's state or government land and it's not being used for anything you can't enter it unless there's a designated park area or rest stop or similar.

I can say without a doubt that the weather in the summer is way better up in the north then it is in the south. I am born in skåne, Landskrona and have lived in both Malmö and Gothenburg for more than half of my 55 years on this planet. Now I live in Luleå way up north and by the sea and every year we are amongst top 3 in sun hours list. A list of places in sweden where you get the most hours of the sun in the summer. And up here we still have the 4 propper seasons of the year. Compared to Malmö and Göteborg on the west coas we have very little rain and bad weather. Sometimes the summer weather here is even hotter then it is down south. But if you have never lived or visited up her you won´t know that. My first summer here I was so suprised by the wather here and during my 21 years up here there has been maybe 3 bad summers in total. But never as bad as down in the south. So it may suprise people how good weather we actually have here to people in the south. And the midnight sun is amazing once you adapt to it. 😄

We just drove the distance south down to Montenegro (here now) and can say that it was much more difficult than driving north! 😂

Did you even watch the video? Because it mentions kabab pizza, something any Swede under that age of 70 would call a stereotypical Swedish food, something that only exists in this country because of two separate waves of immigration. The pickled haring is in all likely hood from Germany to begin with not Sweden, the potatoes that are traditional come from the Americas. The fika started because one of our kings spent a lot of time in what is now Turkey and he brought Arabic coffee with him. Mulit culturalism goes all the way back to, at least, the viking era (DNA Tests show that in the major port cities like Visby there lived free men from as far away as modern day Tunisia and Irak). Take your revisionist bullshit somewhere else.

Well said! And let's not forget the meatballs and kåldolmar which also comes from Turkey 😄

😂😂 It’s happened a few times now! One time, I stepped out of the conversation. Josie said “Wills talking with other people, we can talk Swedish now” he looked at her blankly then just continued to talk English 🤣 hilarious

Swedish, Norwegian and Danish may sound alike, but they often mean something very different. The classic: frokost - in Swedish = breakfast, in Danish = lunch 🤭

Allemansrätten (Freedom to roam) does have limits, specifically regarding private property. If the owner of a private plot of land says you can't enter or use it, *you cannot enter or use it.* This weekend a woman was convicted of home invasion for ignoring that part of it - she refused to listen to her neighbor telling her to stop taking her dog for walks on his lawn (she even climbed his fence when he put one up). So if the owner tells you to skedaddle, do so. :-)

You are clearly not from Sweden. Allemansrätten has nothing to do with somebody's lawn. Of course people don't have the right to set up camp in somebody's lawn. "If the owner of a private plot of land says you can't enter or use it, you cannot enter or use it." Those things are governed by law, not by the owner. Do you think people in Sweden have "keep out" signs on their lawns to keep people out or that people would enter other people's lawns if there was not a sign? The owner of the land doesn't decide what you or I can do on it. The law does.

You can absolutely not use someones lawn. If you want to set up a tent for the night you should do it out of sight from the nearest house.
