- Lara Gavina moved from Italy to Skellefteå, Sweden. She works at North Kingdom, a global Experience Design Studio with customers such as Google and Lego. It takes her 3 minutes to get to the office. The work life balance in northern Sweden is outstanding!
Here are some useful links if you are interested in moving to north Sweden. Check out these websites:

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 😉
Where are you from ?
The first Italian that I ever heard speaking English with a Swedish accent?
Could it be the fresh air?
Haha! 😆
Noticed that too!
Yes, that’s really interesting. Have seen that a lot during my studies in Sweden with other international students 😄 I think her englisch wasn’t thaaat good before and basically your brain gets used to the Swedish dialect of English. And I would really call it a dialect and not accent, since they speak near perfect English and seem to have changed some words permanently. Because every swed says them „wrong“ the same way.
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.
This is very optimistic. 1200€ a month its a dream. Got over 3 jobs. 600 to 800 a month, 40h a week.
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.
Ahahah I got the same ad, I think italians are pretty responsive to this 😁
I'm thinking of moving to the North too
You will probably find plenty of opportunities in the northern university town of Umeå, or Luleå for example. Experience in big data is always sought-after in general, but if you want something in particle physics you are more likely to find work down south, in Stockholm and Gothenburg for example.
Luleå, a small international tech hub in northern Sweden
There are some useful links about work permit, jobs, housing etc in the description above, maybe you will find some answers to your questions :) I would think there are good opportunities for someone with your education.
Are there any opportunities for airplane pilots?
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 :)
I'm looking to buy a house in that area!!!. Hopefully before the year is over. Already have my eye on a couple properties 🙂
Welcome to Sweden! My husband is from New Jersey, USA. We live in the north of Sweden too 😊
I love this city
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
helo i am a local if you need help ask me and i wil se wot i can do
@@erikbergstrom258 I would like to know more how is life there ?! What are the chances to find a job with english language as I just started learning swedish and it will take some time until I will be able to talk properly in Swedish. How are the people? I've heard from swedes the more north you go the more colder are the people.
I thank you in advance for offering your help, I really appreciate it
@@geNcGBG the people are a little hard to get to know but way better when you know them as for Jobs we have tons check out north volt they only speak English at work so no problem and everyBody speaks English eny way but my typing is terrible the only thing is its Hard to find homes right now they are expensive by my standard but still chep by international standards
So fascinating.
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 would good if you can show us her opinion to the six months long winter.
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❤️😍✌️

Carino il punto di vista italiano 🙂
It seems wonderful during the summer, could you tell about the winter time?
The winter is snowy and often quite cold, we have lots of skiing slopes and activities during winter time as well. :)
@@newlandofopportunity9282 how many sunlight hours from november to march?
No problems living in the dark for 2/3 of day?
@@newlandofopportunity9282 ...and mostly cloudy from september to april. :) forgot this small detail!
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)
The good thing is that we have cinemas, museums and theatres also. And great restaurants, although not like a global city. The weather is very varied and it's warm and sunny during summer and cold, snowy and dark during winter.
Regarding the comparison with Italy, I think you need to compare apple to apple, for instance big cities with high density and lots of entertainments at close range, together with job opportunities in the services sector….vs outer provinces, lower density areas with closer nature (hills, woods, fields, sea…) but mostly industry, manufacturing, artisans & industries, and definitely less close range services and the variety that a bigger city may offer. So I guess it depends on what one’s own preference is.
You clearly don't know much about Italy and how overcrowded it can be.
@@riccardozanetti3113 Italy overcrowded?
Where?
Just move to the provinces, heck there are places the government will give you 40 k to buy a house.
@@RiverJumper2I'm italian, I have been living in Italy all my life, so I think I know the country a little more than you. In the region where I live towns are so closed to each other that you cannot even tell where one ends and the other begins. That' s why you cannot really compare It to a low population density country such as Sweden.
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.
Bruh Sweden is so expensive.
You can literally get this lifestyle with 1k a month in southern Italy
It even out since you get paid better in Sweden.
Ok cool video and country indeed, but what's the point in sponsoring it on IG? I don't see any deal here.
There are no deal, we simply want more people to discover our parts of the country :)
They are trying to lure people in, they are body snatchers!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The first lady Lara, has a thick Russian accent.
The way she speaks sounds extremely Swedish to me, actually. And I am pretty familiar with 'Swenglish' accents. 😄

What’s the official language?
Swedish! But many companies have English as corporate language.
@@newlandofopportunity9282 Thanks for responding 🙂
@@omotegovie5368 I would say that just about everyone under 50 has at least conversational English, if you go under 40 odds are that they are virtually fluent. I have heard many people who come here to live say that they actually have a hard time learning Swedish because everyone speaks English effortlessly. 🙂
