I was born and raised in Skellefteå, but moved away for a total of 18 years. But about 2 years ago I decided I wanted to return home for good, which feels like the best decision I ever made. :)

I just moved to Stockholm. Maybe not as calm as Skellefteå but soooo much calmer than London 😉

The first Italian that I ever heard speaking English with a Swedish accent? Could it be the fresh air?

Italy is over guys. Factories are not hiring anymore, because job agencies has totally overwhelmed the jobs market. They hire you just for a short time experience, legally they can keep you maximum 6 months with the same agency. Then sometimes you pass by to another branch of the same agency, but the factories are overwhelmed with taxes. In order to pay you 1200€/month (which is around a good average salary), they gonna spend more than 4000€/month for you (insurance, retirement fund, other expenses). This is the reason why so many italians must move abroad. Italy is packed with unused buildings, empty offices and shops, especially into the city centres. In sinthesys: taxes upon emplyers are too high and setting a business is too expensive aswell. Italy is gonna be packed of underutilized buildings, and the cost of apartments is really decreasing (apart the major 6-8 cities). The salaries are really less than 1200€ expected. In some parts of south italy they can really be lower than 700€/month. You can’t do any family plans with this situation. And mainly because the economy doesn’t circle as expected: the rich get richer, and the others are fucked. Overall, the public sector just steal public money, and the stupid workers must pay taxes for everyone. And yes: the main companies like Fiat, Ferrero and others, they are not fiscally based in italy. They have official setup into Netherlands, Switzerland or other countries. And the mental approach of italians is getting really close-minded over the years, the old don’t have resourses to risk for new businesses or helping young to set for their own future. Guys, only the rich can have a family with kids in italy. I have started working into McDonalds as cashier, when i was 18 in 2006, and i have seen working conditions getting worse and worse so far. The italian economy is over.

Great video! Makes me a bit home sick. I love and miss the forest. Thanks

Coming from Taiwan:) just move up to Skellefteå this May :)

Ah Welcome to Sweden and to Skellefteå, i live in Skellefteå aswell hope you will have a good time here :)

So fascinating.

I'm looking to buy a house in that area!!!. Hopefully before the year is over. Already have my eye on a couple properties 🙂

Got here from an IG sponsored story. Daaaaamn this hit hard as it's always been a deep dream of mine. I wonder which prospects there are in such a wild and scarsely populated place for a particle physicist / big data scientist.

I love this city

Welcome to Sweden! My husband is from New Jersey, USA. We live in the north of Sweden too 😊

It would good if you can show us her opinion to the six months long winter.

Carino il punto di vista italiano 🙂

Loved the video! Absolutely! I'm a local police officer (15 yrs of job experience) in Milan, Italy, my wife is a primary school teacher, we have 3 children, i wonder if there are job opportunities for someone with our work background. I'm also a certified cook. What's the best way to start looking for job opportunities over there? Is it necessary to have a migration agent? Great series, keep spreading good vibes❤️😍✌️

I am already in Sweden for a year now, and just few days ago found out about Skelleftea and they relocate program, did my research and decided I will move and just to find out the program is off last month April. Damn, what a pitty for me

I suppose you must be young enough and into High Tech environment to find a good job in Sweden nowadays. This lovely Italian lady didn't talk about her Phd or job skills except for the fact that She works for an online/internet developer.

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

It seems wonderful during the summer, could you tell about the winter time?

I really need to move there!

And then you want to go to the cinema, or to a museum, or to the theatre, or to dinner in a Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai/Brazilian/Italian/Spanish restaurant and you realize that you should travel at least 1000km to do so... Sounds beautiful, but how many days of sun (I mean, no cloudy) and regular weather do you have per year? What about the winter? How is it? What's the average temperature? For holidays I'm pretty sure that should be amazing, but to live... I don't know... the city must provide more than beautiful nature and loneliness. Coming from a metropolis I think this calmness should kill me hahaha And Italy being busy? Apart from Rome, Milan, Naples and maybe Turin, Italy looks pretty much like that (apart from the international work opportunities and good salary)

Ok cool video and country indeed, but what's the point in sponsoring it on IG? I don't see any deal here.

Is there is a way to apply for a job there?

How do I apply?

yeap Italian here after Facebook Sponsored Ads...even if i dont understand what are they are trying to promote, since no links to look or apply for jobs ...

What’s the official language?

Bruh Sweden is so expensive. You can literally get this lifestyle with 1k a month in southern Italy

Looking for CNC machinists?

It seems almost bucolic, but I find it rather pointless as a promotion video, since it doesn't speak at all about information services, opportunities, real life routines and standards and so on. It simply shows a pill of an average IT emplyee in a company in a province... which could be England, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Germany... wherever. Just a lucky case, for a lucky girl. There are ten of tousands of similar cases worldwide. I don't think she would be that happy working in a backery or in a production factory, for example... A rather partial, biased and unfunctional video, IMMO. Many comments propose legitimate questions and remarks... all devoid of answers. And she comes from Bruxelles... which already speaks enough in terms of working elitarism, at least for Italians. By the way, I live in Tokyo sonce more than 20 years and my experience is completely different from that of other thousands foreigners living here... good or bad is subjective.
