My first car was a SAAB 99 - loved it despite the rust, the gearbox and the firm ride.

Once upon a time i dreamed to move in Sweden, for some of the reasons you mentioned, but particularly because of your introvert-lifestyle. I've even had an offer from Erricson)) And now, sometimes i have regret about time's gone, and that i no longer have an opportunity neither move or even visit your country. Nevertheless, i like watching swedish blogers time-to-time, videos about your life, and this makes me a bit envy :D thank you for your video)

Thank you so much❤❤❤

Regarding biking: I had heard that Holland was the no.1 Bike country in the world, but I was amazed when we visited Utrecht, rented bikes and found a highway-like system of bike lanes leading into the city. Denmark go home.... Utrecht is like a mini-Amsterdam and highly recommended.

Good stuff, very nice video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

As always, an excellent job with the video. Thank you for taking the time and resources to do this! You forgot to mention some of the great Swedish companies that have faded from the limelight; SAAB and Hasselblad to name a few.

Very well put together video. I love that Sweden is a fair society with freedom of expression and the freedom to enjoy one's chosen lifestyle.

Great Video I dint realize Sweden had free education, that’s awesome. The big one for me that Sweden does oh so well is the balance of work and home life. I’ve been at the job I have now for 19 years and only get two weeks vacation a year , not the normal but I make more than the average person so I’ve put up with it. There is so many things the Swedes do better than Americans. My wife and I will be arriving in Stockholm on Thursday and I can’t wait to see your beautiful country. Thanks for all the info and stay safe till next time.

I've been watching your videos and strongly feel that I am a true Swede at heart - despite being British (Welsh/Irish and a tiny bit English)! All the things about being introverted, quiet and modest completely work for me, as well as the unquestioning obedience to maintaining queue discipline and never sitting next to anyone on public transport. I previously watched some YT content from an American guy living in Sweden and found that everything he said was 'weird' was completely normal and desirable for me!! I even prefer the cold to heat! 😊

You are fantastic are your programs are always awesome ❤❤

Excellent video, you manage to have an swedish accsent as well ! (seriøst, denne var skikkelig bra ) !

Great things to do in Sweden. Like 63 ♥

The thing I think of that makes Sweden very special..is depending where you are, you may behold the beauty of Northern Lights. It's something I hope I can visit and see in my lifetime...there's nothing like it and absolutely breathtaking in videos I've seen. I can only imagine what it's like to see with your own eyes in person

As always, a great video. The points you make about things set up to make a large middle class is great. It's funny how people in the U.S. who talk about "the good ol' days," talk about times when there was a larger middle class. Free, or even affordable education is a rarity stateside. I'm one of the 40% of people who went to college on loans, but never finished because it was still too expensive. And moving up from that has not been easy. So, it's great seeing the places that offer at least a few more opportunities to educate oneself and have more time to pursue dreams. Because you're right: tech in the U.S. does not afford a good work/life balance. I'm very fortunate to be efficient and not as on-call as the rest of my team. I will log in tomorrow and see signs of people working all weekend on releases that will probably end up pushed back anyway.

Hej... you had to make this one also! I recently made one too, but I think there are many things I can add and won't be hard to make a second one. A few things I disagree with tho. You have a very good public transport in Stockholm and the Gothenburg trams were also really nice, but up here in the North the picture is a bit different... and as well as we don't have very good public transport, we also don't have a very good in between town's one. When I was travelling down to Gothenburg I had to drive 1h to my nearest train station (Kramfors) then take the night train to Arlanda and then take a flight to Gothenburg where we had to drive 1 more hour to the apartment. And on top of all that the train to Arlanda had some issues and we had to get out of the train in Uppsala and be driven by Bus from Uppsala to Arlanda... It was an adventure and I had almost exactly 12 hours of travel to get to Gothenburg. There should be a direct night train from the North to Gothenburg, but they are very rare... it should be every night, but it actually is not, so as a newcomer to Sweden and everybody saying how good the public transport is... well, I was a bit disappointed. Aaaanyway... Nature up here is great and the people are open enough that you don't feel alone! 😉😁 Stay safe. Greetings from the North and will see you in your (or mine) next one! 🔥🌲🦌

Love Sweden, well I am in Norway now, but I visit it every year .

I have been to Malmo, Lund and Helsingborg. I enjoyed my time in Sweden. Of course, travelling and living there are not the same. What you described I could hardly apply to what I've encountered on my trip to Sweden. Still, your list easily applies to Finland, primarily the Jekyll/Hyde phenomenon and the preserving nature part.

Love the winter months, Christmas time and winter sports outdoors, winter clothes and accessories, furniture manufacturers, and exporters and ofcourse the shopping centres , underground rail contruction to the whole country except the very north, housing systems accomodation and ofcourse the schools systems, festivals and entertainment including night life, its nature and the way they dealing with truss and recycling systems even in supermarkets, the kiosks and corv and ice-cream at winter time too , agricultural products and the quality of food and beverage also traditional festivals , and ofcourse the architecture. Also the government system when they have to deal effectively with the well being of its citizens. Also the inspiring way keeping peace in the world. Worklife balance for families its top of the tops I think and the education at any age. People have its own funny side if you come closer and that it not easy for an Swedish person as they seams little cold from outside but its all about individuals educational and social life you know. Most of all the history of Swedish country is have some surprises too!!! God bless them all. As I said is a very interesting country with multicultural society but stiil hold on on tradition and conservation when to come to represent its self to outside world !!! You have absolutely right about what you described about the society and its people. In general they are gentlemen in all aspects of social services and social life being respect and very proud about their country ! Especially country side and the climate and natural resources and environment!!! Its respecting it so do the other side too so they can survive together and thrive !! Thank you again !!

Still weird for me to see KZfaq videos from what I subconsciously think of as my back yard...

21 days until I fly to Stockholm! If I see you out and about, can I come up to you and say hi?

Legit dreading housing in Sweden because central air isn’t really a thing and I never see screens on peoples windows. My wife is always telling me how nice the houses/apartments are but I want screens on my windows to keep bugs out. I really appreciate the shots of the bike paths in this video, though!

What I personally miss in this list: - Almost everywhere everything is so nice and tidy. Buildings, streets, parks, etc. Everything is in order, looking beautiful (that's not very lagom, but I like it that way :D) - Everyone is friendly and trying to help you in the best way he/she can. And that even (or especially?) includes the people working at Skatteverket and Försäkringskassan or communal offices.

What I love most about Sweden? Supermodel Emma Sjoberg!

Land of freedowm next level always indertackene 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍more full suport to swiden ferst and allways forevere

Love Sweden also. Looking to purchase property so wife and I can fully retire there in about 20yrs or so. But one of my daughters wants to go to college there so would be perfect for going back and forth visiting family amd having a place for my daughter to stay instead of renting.

I recently watched a mini series about Clark Olofsson the notorious Swedish criminal. Call me crazy, but I like to go to Sweden and Finland in Winter.

The middle class thing may be a thing of the past, Sweden has created more than double the amount of dollar billionaires per capita than USA. It is way easier to become wealthy here, possible partly cause you're unlikely to end up in the street if you try and fail.

Very accurate what you are saying in the video, but if there weren't so many social benefits in Sweden, nobody would have stayed and lived there with such terrible weather.

Hey, Miro. I don't know why KZfaq is deleting my comments. So I am testing I hope it will reach to you. If it will be reach, I will edit it.

I like how you bash the USA 😄. You say the facts and i love it! Can you get out of white collar jobs too ? I would rather work with my hands... but not repeating jobs like factories...thats depressing..

Another thing I like about Sweden is your country has a lot of great hockey players. Ha ha .

shouldn’t the list be a “top infinite things I love about Sweden”? This country is perfect!!!!💙💛

First comment

Just det! Jag håller med! For some laughs I want to share what I wrote on my blog about Glasgow 11 years ago: Taking a shower I was again reminded about that weird thing that somehow the British have been left in a time-space-warp that causes them to use completely illogical faucet/tap systems with separate hot and cold water supplies, but no way to mix them. Except in your hand maybe. With boiling water. Brilliant. I wonder when they travel to foreign countries and return and why they don’t tell people - “Listen, I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe… they’ve got some sort of mixing apparatus for cold and warm water! It’s simple and ingenious!” Come on, it’s not rocket science, really.

TSV, where is that viewpoint at 9:10? It's very pretty...
