And most Swedes have their Summer vacation in the month of July. However, many go abroad during this time, as Swedes are obsessed with travelling, so many may not be aware that there are so much to see and experience in Sweden during the Summer.
@@mvjonsson Really? I was hoping to travel to Sweden this summer since I love it there but have only ever traveled there in Winter, so think year wanted to during July/August where the heat is unbearable where I live. If you have any tips on what are the best summer months to go experience a true Swedish experience let me know. (Anything outside of Stockholm)
Hello!! Thank you so much!! So glad you, as a local, loved it. We’re doing a live video from Japan this Friday 25th January 8pm AEST! We’ll be trying food, talking about our Japan trip and answering questions. Hope you can join us 😍🙌🏻 Phoebe x
Swedish girls natural beauty only... The highest per scent, from any other European country( except Denmark, and Norway, because these Nordic countries, have similar race genre).
@@travelforphoebe If you do, and it so happens to be summer home in Australia (Winter here in Sweden), go north for a different experience! There will be cold and darkness yes, but the scenery is awesome up north, the aurora borealis lighting up the sky some evenings, the snow sparkling in the sunshine or glistening in moonlight! Hope you like skiing though! (Or dogsledding...) 😉
I took Swedish language courses for 7 years and then visited Stockholm, Uppsala & Vimmerby. Not everyone spoke English and it gave me the opportunity to speak Swedish. It was exciting to be able to read the Swedish language when English wasn’t available plus the Swedes wait instead of jumping right in like North Americans tend to do, and it gave me the time to answer them in Swedish!💖
Great video! As a swede I want to thank you for all the lovely things you had to say about Sweden. ❤ If you loved the archipelagos I can recommend you to go to Gothenburg next time you’re in Sweden. Wonderful islands everywhere. And you can use your bus card on both the buses, trams, some trains and the ferries.
Love your energy. Sweden sounds absolutely amazing. I don't even mind the cold weather because it makes me appreciate summer even more. Wish I could move there tomorrow!
like Sweden, we have several recycling bins in Japan as well. Paper, glass, PET bottles, cans etc are separate. Hopefully the world will take on the importance of recycling. Thoughtfulness may save the planet (and you don't have to be a tree hugger to do it) :)
In Australia it recently (the last couple of years) came to light that most of our recycling was actually being shipped overseas to China on return ships - as the ships would otherwise be going back empty so it's much cheaper for the "recycling" companies to do that. Then China basically said "we've got enough of our own waste, not taking anymore of yours". So it all started getting stockpiled in warehouses and tons end up in landfill. SO disheartening. Sadly heaps of Australians don't even realise how backwards and regressive a lot of things like that are here. In most European countries, there are multiple recycling bins, and if you try to put the wrong thing in the wrong recycling box, you'll get fined. The reason we only have one? Because it never mattered in the first place - it was all just being shipped off somewhere else for other people to deal with.
Wow, you made me appreciate my home town Stockholm much more than before. Living in Stockholm my everyday life's struggle tend to be introver, especially in the dark months of the year here in the north .So you are right, in the summer time we swedes come much more alive and are more open to our selves and others. Thanks for an uplifting, vibrant and positive video.

Since you speak English there should be no issue. It's part of the basic school curriculum. People speak it even in rural towns in the middle of nowhere.
That part about Swedes support vegans brought me a chuckle and a memory from 2008. I'm a native Swede, and in that year, I and the small software company that I worked for went to a rural conference center outside of Simrishamn in Scania in the south of Sweden for a company conference. The staff there had probably never heard of vegetarians before. I especially recall lunch one of the days, when they served some meat sausage with "rotmos" (a mashed mix of potatoes, rutabaga and carrots) and mustard. I'm not a vegeterian, but I had two colleagues that were, and they got the same dish just without the sausage. They were not especially amused. :) So, vegan and vegetarian options exist on pretty much every restaurant in the big cities, but be prepared for that the opposite is possible in the countryside.

Thanks for a great video and an exciting post about my homeland. was very happy to hear that you got to experience the Swedish summer and the archipelago. Now it's only a month before Christmas here in Sweden and it's pretty dark, though! You can still experience the winter and the archipelago even this time of year. Not as easily accessible but oh so beautiful. Christmas markets and Christmas lights light up the dark. Merry Christmas from all dogs and hunks!
Swedes are really sweetest people. I have some Swedes in my team ofcourse they are clients. You will have no idea about how much respect they give you, even when they are in a position to order and get the work done, they politely request to work on something. I would love to explore Sweden and meet Swedes ❤️
Just come over and dont forget to go out in our forests thats the best thing over here. Off course old forests not plantations. Ps an advice: south sweden in summer eastcoast. Take a look at Stenshuvud national park to start with. We are whaiting for you...😁
@@hencytjoe hate it honestly. Thinking about moving back to UK but unsure at the moment, corona making things harder and might give Sweden some more time... but so far pretty fucking shite :/
I was there in the summer of 68 staying in Mora on the edge of Lake Siljan, I absolutely loved the place and the people. I guess it was a little different back then. Thanks for the video guys.

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Unfortunately I was in Sweden and it was for a short visit i liked the place but did not visit it I have to plan another visit, very kind, warm, friendly and gentle people. Jeg älsker Sverige! Tack så Mycket!
I live in northern Sweden close to the artic circle. Here the sun never sets during summer. It’s called ”midnight sun”. It’s amazing for tourists, but as a local it really messes with my sleep routine...
Wow! I can only imagine what that does to a person's mind! We visited Iceland in the summer and just a few days of no sunset had me going a bit funny :S Thank you so much for watching :D
@@itukuppoo4280 they have them inside homes I dont think it's even allowed to leave animals outside at all if your dog ran away you aren't getting I back and getting a hugeee fine
@@salmon2518 I don't know where you get that from? Of course you'd get it backif it's found, and there are no fines at all. In the city centers people have the dogs inside obviously since they live in apartments, but go outside of the centers where people live in villas and houses they're often free running in the yard...
Räkmacka has boiled eggs, majonäs, räkor (shrimps), dill, lemon, and lettuce on soft bread with butter (wheat or rye). Toast skagen has skagenröra on toast, basically. So a few things in common (if you check skagenröra). There are other similar smörgåsar (open sandwiches) as well, of course, although not as ubiquitous.
Oh, so people are hot in Sweden !! Okay, you're speaking my language now. I will in fact get a neck-brace and do stretching exercises every morning and paint Sweden red !!
Hahahaha 😂😂 We’re doing a live video from Japan this Friday 25th January 8pm AEST! We’ll be trying food, talking about our Japan trip and answering questions. Hope you can join us 😍🙌🏻 Phoebe x
Boy, if I knew how to blush I would be scarlet by now! You came at the right time, though. Around the summer solstice it is wonderful. November, not quite as much... I had a colleague from Romania that when he came wondered what the thing was with Swedes, why are they so obsessed with the sun? 9-10 months later: -"OK, now I have lived through the winter here. Now I get it!" :-)
@@travelforphoebe Last December Växjö (don't even try to pronounce it, it is a city inland in the south of Sweden) had 30 min of sunshine, total for the month! It is one thing that the sun is up only 6-7 hours, it is still a lot more than in the north, but when it is we very often have a heavy overcast sky. In the north at least they have the snow to brighten things up a little.
Damn inspiring stuff! Sorry for commenting on a three year old clip, but you went to the wrong side of Sweden. Well, maybe not wrong, but the westcoast (Stockholm is located on the eastcoast) would be my prime travel tip. The water here is salty, not brackish and the seafood is cheaper and taste better. Our archipelago looks a bit different with the famous pink Bohus granite, the perfect backdrop for spectacular sunsets. I do believe you should really, really Google a bit about the Gothenburg/Bohuslän region with the city of Gothenburg, Lysekil, Smögen, Marstrand and so on being summer hotspots. It´s also very close to the Capital of Norway, Oslo, so that to can easily be included if you visit for a few days.
That sounds amazing - we'd love to go back to see more! We barely even scratched the surface of Sweden and I'd love to go to Norway too. My great grandfather was Norwegian and I'd love to visit my ancestral homeland!
Wow, in the north of Sweden many places uses cash. Also, in the North of Sweden the sun is up exactly all the time, we've spent the entire night fishing because it's never dark.
I love you 😍"little gray box" and also I will write all your videos from the beginning 👉99👈. I support you very much 💙because you really provide more than wonderful content 😍 Greetings to you, you are the best role model in the whole world.😘
@@travelforphoebe I am actually from the Philippines, but I have friends that visited Sweden, they said that Stockholm, Uppsala are wonderful places to visit! Denmark and Iceland are also great as well.
That is also one of the typical tourist stops. Stockholm, but forget the North of the country. Next time do a full country trip. Good and funny vid though. Here you won't have a sunset in summer.
I still watching video even if i will never been to sweden but maybe one day . Thank you for tips😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Btw everythings here are beautiful including you😃

Great to see an european country for a change!!! 🙌 😃👍 Never been there. Great video and you really convinced me in checking that out!! We want to go to the north for a while. We’ve been thinking at Schotland or Norway. But Sweden could indeed also be in the running. I only know Swedish men, I think. And they are indeed goodlooking. Tall and good in proportion.

I couldn't eat enough of them!! They're soooo good. I have to say, you can't get anything that tastes quite the same here in Australia :) Just a great excuse to go back to Sweden again!
Love your video! But it can be a bit diffrent depending where in sweden you go and when, i hope you will come back to Sweden but then go to Gothenburg ond the surrounding area, its the second biggest city but its alot nicer and alot nicer people. We have bigger amusementpark here and alot of stuff happends here and alot to see here. Of the countries there english isnt the main language we are of one of the best countries speaking english, top 3 is is Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Thank you so much for the excellent video. I have been watching videos about Sweden for a while now. I have never been there, but I have been to Northern Europe. Some of the Swedish people say that it is rude to talk to strangers and that is something that is not appreciated in Stockholm or anywhere else in Sweden. This is more of a custom than an attitude according to what these Swedish videos say. Did you come across any of this during your trip. Perhaps the Swedish are different in the summertime.
I think in any situation you can find ways to make a destination budget friendly. You can stay at hostels, cut back on dining out and walk around instead of paying for transport. What we experienced in our itinerary wasn’t budget stuff - it was all really nice so our experience was a fancy one. I guess I’d say it’s comparable to going to places like New York, Paris and Tokyo as opposed to places like Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia.
Not only Swedes are hot ! The Stockholm archipelago 7has 30.000 islands and 270.000 in all of Sweden (most in the world) as well as 97.000 lakes and 50.000 waterways . Therefore, nature means a lot to us . Anders Sweden Göteborg

Hey Ryan. We’re on the road at the moment (and I can’t sleep) so your question might get missed by Phoebe but I know she’d love to share what she does with you. So I’ll do my best for her because she LOVES her Figs. She keeps them in a spot that receives good broken sunlight daily, she uses fertilizer she gets from her earthworm farm and I’ve even seen her gently cleaning the leaves with a water spray bottle. She also makes sure they are in a position where a wall supports their weight so they can grow up without bending over. I hope that helps... comment again and I’ll show her to see if I missed anything :) Matt

A bit Ironic... Denmark is known for their "smørrebrød" (open sandwiches) and Swedens only national sandwich is named after a danish city/area, "Toast Skagen". ;-)
Equality has already been addressed? Well, no, really. Sure we've come a long way but I'm sad to say we've gotta a long way to go still. In statistics we've actually dropped a place or two. Glad you enjoyed your stay. So much praise! I'm getting excited myself and I live here! Thanks!
hahaha even then it didn't really set... it was like it dipped down to the horizon and then back up again. It was incredible! So glad I got to see it in my life :) I think the days in winter are really short... I don't know if I could live like that! I need sunshine!!
Our days in Sweden wintertime 1st January sunrise 8:44am and sets 2:57pm. 😅 So yeah, the people of Sweden wakes up and comes alive in the summer, It’s like a different country.
Loving your videos but just wanted to say, I would avoid saying "travel dogger" anywhere near any Brits, it doesn't mean anything to do with dogs over here!!
hahahaha amazing advice! Thank you! I once went to a dry cleaner in London to find out the price of having something of Matt's dry cleaned and asked, "How much is to have pants dry cleaned?" ... it was very awkward and I really didn't understand why until a good friend, dying laughing, explained it to me hehehe
So I’m going to Sweden with my school choir next June and my mom was wondering how she should give me money for the trip since it’s about a week long. Now you mentioned how cash was barely accepted. I’m under 18 meaning I can’t have a credit card, what would you suggest for how I should handle this problem. Would a visa gift card still work overseas?
Hey Rachael! We actually just took a trip to the USA and used a Travelex money card for the first time - You and your lovely mum should look into them and see if they’re a good fit for you on your trip! It would mean you can use it like a credit card but still withdraw cash, Mum can top it up with local currency as needed, you can use an app to check your balance too! Phoebe x
Herr Friberger it’s definetely not accepted everywhere. I rarely use cash so i don’t know exactly when and when not it’s accepted but last time i was at a train station i tried to buy some snacks for my journey and they didn’t accept cash. But in grocery stores and in restaurants she should be fine.
I'm going to sweden this summer and i have a question. They are rude if you don t have an accent? Like english is not.my first language and I'm insecure so yeah... and i have very bad anxiety.
What we saw and experienced was the Swedes are a loving, open, accepting people who celebrate and welcome diversity. Those we spoke to believed strongly in equality 😊 I would say you have no need to be insecure! You should be proud to speak multiple languages 🙌🏻 it’s not easy to learn English and it’s so amazing you have! Believe in how awesome you are and don’t ever let fear diminish your light 😍
Little Grey Box ah amazing, thanks! I really want to go in November for the Christmas markets but obviously things are so uncertain right now... I live in London and think we’ll be going into lockdown again! 😭
The Swedish summer is the best two weeks of the year!

You're so kind, thank you so much for subscribing and for leaving such a lovely message :) Phoebe x
Unfortunately I was in Sweden and it was for a short visit i liked the place but did not visit it I have to plan another visit, very kind, warm, friendly and gentle people. Jeg älsker Sverige! Tack så Mycket!
I hope you can visit again soon 😍
Nice video! Actually fun to recognize the place Sjöboden, i'm living on that island😊
Oh my gosh that’s so cool 😎
when i watch the swedes videos i get scared but when i watch yours it s positiv3e
Love your entusiasm!!
Thank you!!
Thank you, brother, a respectable channel. I love Sweden and I want to get a work contract there in order to obtain a visa to travel to Sweden..
Thanks for watching!
I live in northern Sweden close to the artic circle. Here the sun never sets during summer. It’s called ”midnight sun”. It’s amazing for tourists, but as a local it really messes with my sleep routine...
Wow! I can only imagine what that does to a person's mind! We visited Iceland in the summer and just a few days of no sunset had me going a bit funny :S Thank you so much for watching :D
Can confirm, dogs are everywhere in Sweden. In my first few hours after arriving I saw close to 50 dogs.
Hahahahaha 😂🙌🏻😍 this is a great comment! Thank you. Phoebe x
How do they keep them in their respective yard? I have not seen any homes with fences.
@@itukuppoo4280 they have them inside homes I dont think it's even allowed to leave animals outside at all if your dog ran away you aren't getting I back and getting a hugeee fine
@@salmon2518 I don't know where you get that from? Of course you'd get it backif it's found, and there are no fines at all.
In the city centers people have the dogs inside obviously since they live in apartments, but go outside of the centers where people live in villas and houses they're often free running in the yard...
@@ztevie.j I meant off leash
Thanks for the tap water tip!
You're welcome! :)
Hello from Sweden. This was fun to watch :-)
Thank you so much!!!
8:49 It is Räkmacka :)
Is it? Is that the same as Toast Skagen?
Räkmacka has boiled eggs, majonäs, räkor (shrimps), dill, lemon, and lettuce on soft bread with butter (wheat or rye). Toast skagen has skagenröra on toast, basically. So a few things in common (if you check skagenröra). There are other similar smörgåsar (open sandwiches) as well, of course, although not as ubiquitous.
Fy fan morkra vintrar o ingen sno.Amazing, fint som fan i Sjotuna centralt.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info going tomorrow
Oh wow! Have an amazing time! Thanks for watching :)
Best weather in sweden is between 10 July and 15 August, its hot, like a realy big diffrence from midsummer heat!
Great tip!! Thanks for sharing 😍
@@travelforphoebe dont forget to visit Bohuslän! My home place, its awesome on end of july:)
Wow! I'm a Swede and now I want to emigrate to my own country :)
hahahahaha I love that!
Oh, so people are hot in Sweden !! Okay, you're speaking my language now. I will in fact get a neck-brace and do stretching exercises every morning and paint Sweden red !!
Hahahaha 😂😂 We’re doing a live video from Japan this Friday 25th January 8pm AEST! We’ll be trying food, talking about our Japan trip and answering questions. Hope you can join us 😍🙌🏻 Phoebe x
a quality video, keep up the great work
🥰🙌🏻thanks for watching! Have a great day - Phoebe xx
I know...we are awesome! 😎😁
It’s so true! 😂🙌🏻
Boy, if I knew how to blush I would be scarlet by now! You came at the right time, though. Around the summer solstice it is wonderful. November, not quite as much...
I had a colleague from Romania that when he came wondered what the thing was with Swedes, why are they so obsessed with the sun? 9-10 months later:
-"OK, now I have lived through the winter here. Now I get it!" :-)
hahahaha there are few things happier than a Swede in the sunshine!! P x
@@travelforphoebe Last December Växjö (don't even try to pronounce it, it is a city inland in the south of Sweden) had 30 min of sunshine, total for the month!
It is one thing that the sun is up only 6-7 hours, it is still a lot more than in the north, but when it is we very often have a heavy overcast sky. In the north at least they have the snow to brighten things up a little.
Damn inspiring stuff! Sorry for commenting on a three year old clip, but you went to the wrong side of Sweden. Well, maybe not wrong, but the westcoast (Stockholm is located on the eastcoast) would be my prime travel tip. The water here is salty, not brackish and the seafood is cheaper and taste better. Our archipelago looks a bit different with the famous pink Bohus granite, the perfect backdrop for spectacular sunsets. I do believe you should really, really Google a bit about the Gothenburg/Bohuslän region with the city of Gothenburg, Lysekil, Smögen, Marstrand and so on being summer hotspots. It´s also very close to the Capital of Norway, Oslo, so that to can easily be included if you visit for a few days.
That sounds amazing - we'd love to go back to see more! We barely even scratched the surface of Sweden and I'd love to go to Norway too. My great grandfather was Norwegian and I'd love to visit my ancestral homeland!
Wow, in the north of Sweden many places uses cash.
Also, in the North of Sweden the sun is up exactly all the time, we've spent the entire night fishing because it's never dark.
Thanks for sharing!
You guys may not know it but fika is very common in italy too
Really?!
I have friend swedish. But im from Borneo and mix Australian. But,Sweden is my Idol. New friend. Who from sweden, lets friend. 😀🤙
Thanks so much for watching!!
I love you 😍"little gray box" and also I will write all your videos from the beginning 👉99👈. I support you very much 💙because you really provide more than wonderful content 😍 Greetings to you, you are the best role model in the whole world.😘
Thank you so much 🤗
I love Sweden and Scandinavia in general
I really loved Sweden! Would love to see more of Scandinavia ASAP 😌 what are a few places you’d recommend?
@@travelforphoebe I am actually from the Philippines, but I have friends that visited Sweden, they said that Stockholm, Uppsala are wonderful places to visit! Denmark and Iceland are also great as well.
🙏🏼😍
That is also one of the typical tourist stops. Stockholm, but forget the North of the country. Next time do a full country trip. Good and funny vid though. Here you won't have a sunset in summer.
Thanks for watching isdraken!
I still watching video even if i will never been to sweden but maybe one day . Thank you for tips😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Great to see an european country for a change!!! 🙌 😃👍
Never been there. Great video and you really convinced me in checking that out!! We want to go to the north for a while. We’ve been thinking at Schotland or Norway. But Sweden could indeed also be in the running.
I only know Swedish men, I think. And they are indeed goodlooking. Tall and good in proportion.
Thanks so much FG!!! Hopefully we get to do more of Europe this year. We’re doing a live video from Japan this Friday 25th January 8pm AEST! We’ll be trying food, talking about our Japan trip and answering questions. Hope you can join us 😍🙌🏻 Phoebe x

Little Grey Box I’ll put it in my agenda!
Thank You so mutch! Oncel Thomas, Sweden❤️
Thank you too!
Great vid about my home country! But maybe not tell people you´re a travel dogger, that can easily attract the wrong kind of attention.. =)
In italy too we love la fika
It’s so good! I still Fika even now!
7.27 almost spat out my coffee.. omg do NOT do that! you know what that actually means right? 🤣🤣🤣
😂 I had no idea until this video was published!
@@travelforphoebe the more you know, right 😂👍
kanelbullar my favorite of all time thx
I couldn't eat enough of them!! They're soooo good. I have to say, you can't get anything that tastes quite the same here in Australia :) Just a great excuse to go back to Sweden again!
Love your video! But it can be a bit diffrent depending where in sweden you go and when, i hope you will come back to Sweden but then go to Gothenburg ond the surrounding area, its the second biggest city but its alot nicer and alot nicer people. We have bigger amusementpark here and alot of stuff happends here and alot to see here. Of the countries there english isnt the main language we are of one of the best countries speaking english, top 3 is is Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Thanks for watching and sharing 😍
Oh yeah fun fact swedens eskilstuna has the worlds first and I think only recycled mall. Mall of only recycled things
I did NOT know that! WOW!
Loved you r video!

Thank you so much for the excellent video. I have been watching videos about Sweden for a while now. I have never been there, but I have been to Northern Europe. Some of the Swedish people say that it is rude to talk to strangers and that is something that is not appreciated in Stockholm or anywhere else in Sweden. This is more of a custom than an attitude according to what these Swedish videos say. Did you come across any of this during your trip. Perhaps the Swedish are different in the summertime.
All the locals we met were so lovely and welcoming and friendly. Everyone we spoke to was happy to chat 😊🙏🏼
Is Sweden(Stockholm) really that expensive? I mean hotels, restaurants, transport etc
I think in any situation you can find ways to make a destination budget friendly. You can stay at hostels, cut back on dining out and walk around instead of paying for transport. What we experienced in our itinerary wasn’t budget stuff - it was all really nice so our experience was a fancy one. I guess I’d say it’s comparable to going to places like New York, Paris and Tokyo as opposed to places like Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia.
Smörgåstårta > toast skagenm imho, both might use skagenröra btw.
Thanks for watching!
hi its jaspaaa, maddy and I are watching your videos in class haha
Hahha get back to class you two :) Matt
Hahahaha you guys!! Wish you were here in Japan with us. I had Takoyaki without you 😔😭 Phoebe xxx
IKEA is like our local supermarket, by that I mean we go there all the time
hahaha that's so cool :D
You make the microchip in hand sound normal
hahahaha
Where you in other places in Sweden except Stockholm
Yes we went to the archipelago as well!
Not only Swedes are hot !
The Stockholm archipelago 7has 30.000 islands and 270.000 in all of Sweden (most in the world) as well as 97.000 lakes and 50.000 waterways .
Therefore, nature means a lot to us .
Anders Sweden Göteborg
Somehow that makes them even hotter!
You're most welcome to Gothenburg!
Thanks for watching!
Hello
Please Make a meet when will you come again. I Shall bear all expenses of your tour.. Seriously :)

How do you get your fiddle leaf figs to grow?
Hey Ryan. We’re on the road at the moment (and I can’t sleep) so your question might get missed by Phoebe but I know she’d love to share what she does with you. So I’ll do my best for her because she LOVES her Figs. She keeps them in a spot that receives good broken sunlight daily, she uses fertilizer she gets from her earthworm farm and I’ve even seen her gently cleaning the leaves with a water spray bottle. She also makes sure they are in a position where a wall supports their weight so they can grow up without bending over. I hope that helps... comment again and I’ll show her to see if I missed anything :) Matt
I wanna try Kanelbullar😅 looks tasty
hahaha it IS tasty!! You gotta try it!
I Love sweden and of course the beautiful girl sharing this beautiful video from south korea
Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment :D Phoebe x
Wow!

Is september a good time to be in sweden to travel? I like the city to be busy itself
Oh gosh, I’ve only visited the once so I’m not sure! 🙏🏼
Thanks for the info.

@@travelforphoebe yeah I'm eagerly waiting for that since you told me about it last week. I hope I can make it.
A bit Ironic... Denmark is known for their "smørrebrød" (open sandwiches) and Swedens only national sandwich is named after a danish city/area, "Toast Skagen". ;-)
By Tore Wretman who made it on a sailing boat outside Skagen and therefor named it
Toast Skagen.
Equality has already been addressed? Well, no, really. Sure we've come a long way but I'm sad to say we've gotta a long way to go still. In statistics we've actually dropped a place or two.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. So much praise! I'm getting excited myself and I live here! Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching :)

Okay did sun really set at 11pm?
I am amazed!
So what the time of sunset in winter?
hahaha even then it didn't really set... it was like it dipped down to the horizon and then back up again. It was incredible! So glad I got to see it in my life :) I think the days in winter are really short... I don't know if I could live like that! I need sunshine!!
@@travelforphoebe omg. Then Sweden worth visiting
Our days in Sweden wintertime
1st January sunrise 8:44am and sets 2:57pm. 😅 So yeah, the people of Sweden wakes up and comes alive in the summer, It’s like a different country.
@@eleonorpramfalk3751 sun sets at 2.57 pm?😱
It's good though my dad won't complain about sleeping during daytime!
Loving your videos but just wanted to say, I would avoid saying "travel dogger" anywhere near any Brits, it doesn't mean anything to do with dogs over here!!
hahahaha amazing advice! Thank you! I once went to a dry cleaner in London to find out the price of having something of Matt's dry cleaned and asked, "How much is to have pants dry cleaned?" ... it was very awkward and I really didn't understand why until a good friend, dying laughing, explained it to me hehehe
Why did you go to Stockholm of all places
Haha we flew there, spent a couple of days then headed out to some really beautiful islands! It was awesome!
So I’m going to Sweden with my school choir next June and my mom was wondering how she should give me money for the trip since it’s about a week long. Now you mentioned how cash was barely accepted. I’m under 18 meaning I can’t have a credit card, what would you suggest for how I should handle this problem. Would a visa gift card still work overseas?
Hey Rachael! We actually just took a trip to the USA and used a Travelex money card for the first time - You and your lovely mum should look into them and see if they’re a good fit for you on your trip! It would mean you can use it like a credit card but still withdraw cash, Mum can top it up with local currency as needed, you can use an app to check your balance too! Phoebe x
Little Grey Box thank you so much!! I’ll bring it up to her and see what she thinks!! 🙏🏻❤️
Cash is accepted, and will be in the future. Cash-less is not as trendy anymore.
Herr Friberger thank you🙏🏻 very grateful for your help!
Herr Friberger it’s definetely not accepted everywhere. I rarely use cash so i don’t know exactly when and when not it’s accepted but last time i was at a train station i tried to buy some snacks for my journey and they didn’t accept cash. But in grocery stores and in restaurants she should be fine.
I'm going to sweden this summer and i have a question. They are rude if you don t have an accent? Like english is not.my first language and I'm insecure so yeah... and i have very bad anxiety.
What we saw and experienced was the Swedes are a loving, open, accepting people who celebrate and welcome diversity. Those we spoke to believed strongly in equality 😊 I would say you have no need to be insecure! You should be proud to speak multiple languages 🙌🏻 it’s not easy to learn English and it’s so amazing you have! Believe in how awesome you are and don’t ever let fear diminish your light 😍
Loved this video! Is it safe for a solo female traveller? Xx
Thank you so much! We visited as a couple but based on the experiences we had, I would feel comfortable going back again by myself :)
Little Grey Box ah amazing, thanks! I really want to go in November for the Christmas markets but obviously things are so uncertain right now... I live in London and think we’ll be going into lockdown again! 😭
Xxxxxx
