#LondonvsStockholm #UKvsSweden #MovingCountries
I have been living in London for almost 10 years and it is now time to move on. Stockholm is the city of choice and I can't wait to explore Sweden. There are so many benefits of moving to Sweden which I mention in this video. I also talk about the pros and cons of London.

Do let me know if you have any tips for Stockholm! 😉🇸🇪

They are good at recycling their wastes . They buy garbage from other countries like UK to generate electricity...
Sweden ranks second in the world in innovation index after Switzerland...
so u living in sweden nw pliz snd me yr watsup number I love yr videos thnx
The Cold isn't really a problem, the Darkness is. Pretty much everyone moving to (or living in) Sweden agrees on that. Just dress right and the Cold is kept in check (and Swedish houses are very well isolated and heated) the Darkness is much harder to fight.
Yeh, we will see how that is. Definitely haven't experienced this yet.
in London more sunshine in November, but in March less sunshine than in Stockholm.
I wish you all the best in your new journey! Personally while living in Canada I feel like I have such a great life condition over here but I'm sure that it's the same in Sweden and I must say that Stockholm looks very beautiful 😍
Thank you so much! I've heard from Canadians who moved to Sweden that there are similarities. Canada was also an option to move to but it's a little far from Europe in general. Maybe one day! 😉
A warm welcome and good luck to you and your family. I hope everything will work out fine for you all. 👍😊
I really appreciate the warm welcome! 🥰 We're very excited!! ✨
Supercool! It's a beautiful city - been only once but liked it a lot. I lived in Denmark for a year and Scandi lifestyle is definitely everything you mention (and more;). Good luck with the move, Uli!
Yeah, I can't wait! 🙌🏻 Denmark also sounds brilliant. Thanks a lot, Marta! ❤️
Oh wow! Exciting times for you & family. My sister in law lives there with her hubby and loves it! (Of course learnt the language too!)
All the best 😁
It's always nice to hear when people enjoy living in the country you're moving to 🥰
One of the first thing you should do is to get a personal no(Personnummer) at tax office (skatteverket) it will make everything go much easier. Good luck
Yes, I have read about how important the Personnummer is. Thanks a lot for the tip! 🙌🏻
What an exciting move! It looks like a beautiful country and one that I would love to visit.
Yeah, I'm excited! I visited Sweden twice before moving there now and it's very beautiful 😍
Yes a visit to Sweden wood blow your mind but Stockholm is expensive but not all part Sodermalm is cheap to live and do stuff!
Welcome to November in Stockholm, where it's dark, cold(ish) and rainy. And dark. Once you get snow everything is much better.
Hahaha yes, this will be an interesting experience! Making sure to have lots of candles and vitamin D. Can't wait to practice Hygge as well 😉
Hell yeah! Good luck!
Thank you! 😊
Wow 😯, it's a lovely video sharing thank you for sharing this with us giving another a big Big like thumbs up 👍👍 see you again take care 😊 have a wonderful day ahead 💐🎸🎵
Thanks so much for your positive vibes! ❤️
Thank you for a good video with proper research! In Sweden you go home when your work hours are over. At least for 90% of workers, so yeah, life/work balance is very important. Sweden is ok when it comes to landscape, but Norway sadly beat us there. As a pre-school teacher I am happy you took time too look into our curriculum, my tip for you and your family is to find a smaller pre-school that focus on working in smaller groups (divided groups with up to 7-8 kids in each group) since it gives the teachers more opportunity to see and teach your child. And Dads are allowed to take out more than 90 days, as long as you both do the 90 you can split the remaining 300 anyway you want. Hope you will like Stockholm!
Thanks a lot for the kind advice! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the information..👌
Thanks for watching! 😊
Well Sweden has the Ice hotel up in the north, and some really cool cabins in trees also up in the nothern parts of Sweden, and well the Archipelago has some amazing places.
That sounds amazing!! 😍
i currently live in london but i've been interviewing for a job that requires me to move to stockholm. this video was on my homepage and i just *had* to click on it
Oh, how exciting! 😁Good luck with your interview 🍀
Exciting! Welcome to Stockholm :-)
Aww, thank you so much! I can't wait to explore the city. Any recommendations? 😊
@@LivingSwedish I almost don't know where to start, it's my absolute favorite city :)
Stockholm has dozens of amazing museums (my favorites are Skansen & Moderna Museet) and I also just love walking around the city center with all its islands. There are also many great lakes & hiking spots nearby - definitely check out Tyresta Nationalpark. Södermalm has the coolest bars (Himlen!) & second-hand stores (e.g. Myrorna). And the best Kanelbulle (a kind of cinnamon roll) you will find at Bullar & Bröd!
Pro tips: Don't forget to Fika (have a quality coffee break) & Fridays are for Tacos ;)
@@theannareich Ah, I'm so excited and I can't wait to visit museums again. I miss it so much in general. Thanks for all the tips! I make sure to visit ALL of them 😄
@@LivingSwedish Yay, I'm sure you'll have a great time in Stockholm!
Girl , your hair is so pretty I love it. I am also from Germany :)
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️Where in Germany are you from? 🇩🇪
It will really interesting to see how you look at our country after you moved here. But I must impose that it is very important you learn the language, even though most Swedes speak rather good English (or Swenglish some call it). And if you already have got a flat / house to move into when moving to Sweden you are in luck. Because it is difficult getting one in Stockholm.
I will definitely make another video about it when I have moved to Sweden for sure 🙌🏻 And I agree with you on learning Swedish. I have already started and I'm planning to attend a proper course when I'm there. I'm excited to learn Swedish 🇸🇪Thank you for watching my video! 😊
I would say it's not much about the cold but rather the lack of daylight that you need to be prepared to ;-)
Ah yes! And how does one prepare for that?! 🤪
@@LivingSwedish You don't ahah. I guess it's just part of the deal ;-) Sweden has a lot of upsides so I guess maybe try to travel out of the country mostly in winter, enjoy summers as much as you can and take some vitamin D supplements during the winter months !
All the best 👍
Thanks a lot! 😊
Good luck! Neues Wohnung, neues Glück! All the best!
Hahaha yes 🍀Thank you so much!
hi Uli! I saw your video about how swedes like potatoes and just wanted to share a fact... potatoes came to sweden from south america (by Jonas Alströmer) and became wery popular because they where easy to make alchohol from... love youre videos keep up!
Thanks for sharing! How interesting :) So happy you enjoy my videos!
I love living in Boston but have always wondered what life would be like living down south where the land and housing is much cheaper.
Maybe one day 😉
There are over 200.000 island outside Stockholm. Most islands in the world.
That's so fascinating! 🥰
It will be a really nice experience.
Im sure.
Yay! 😊Thank you!
Wohoo! Welcome! :D
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
I completely agree its totally a personal choice and preference :) I am living in Stockholm since 10 years, but cost of living, taxation, rent/buy house is somewhat high here. I have some friends who have different view and moved(or considering to move) for language, professional growth, better healthcare reason. But again its personal preference 🙂 Also I'd like to mention the work life balance stats has been changed dramatically in past 3-4 years, which is unfortunate and that was the main reason for me to settle down here. The language is still needed here, if you want to socialize apart from work and colleagues.
Thanks for sharing! 🙏
I'm a Swedish man who now watched your video and you talked about how Swedes are reserved people. This is NOT completely true but it all depends on where you live or visit. So it is easier to make friends in Gothenburg than in Stockholm BUT I am Kirunabo and live at the top of Sweden and we Kiruna residents are not at all as reserved as in Southern Sweden and you have easier to get in touch with us up in Lapland. Then you mentioned the cold and the snow, so because the world is getting warmer it will not be as cold now as before and if you want to be guaranteed to experience snow during the winter, you have to go up to Jämtland or up to Lapland and then Kiruna, Gällivare, Pajala, Jokkmokk. Then if you and your partner get another child, you have paid leave between 12-18 months, depending on how many days a week you take out parental benefit. You mention, like many others, that it is quite expensive to live in Sweden compared to some other countries. BUT what none of you non-Swedes do not know is that the higher taxes mean that you have lower costs precisely for then, among other things, daycare, which is paid for by tax money. If you often have to visit a nurse, doctor, physiotherapist, maternity care or something else in healthcare, Sweden has high-cost protection. Which means that you only pay a total of SEK 1,350 in visit fees, then you have the rest of a 12-month period free card and then it costs nothing to visit any of this. If you take medicines that are expensive, then through the tax in Sweden, you also have high-cost protection on prescription drugs and you pay a maximum of SEK 2,350, after which you have a free card for medicines for the remaining 12 months. The higher tax in Sweden means that you can study for free up to upper secondary school level. The food from kindergarten all the way up to and including high school is free. in Schools in Sweden you have open air days and you can go to various activities, these are free or can be a small fee, as the tax pays this. To understand why Sweden has higher taxes and why it can be more expensive in Sweden, you have to read what this money goes to and what the citizens get for the high taxes.
Thanks for all the info! I'm yet to experience Sweden myself so I just really mentioned things other people talk about online. I'm excited to explore Sweden and get to know Swedish people better 😊Have a nice day!
@@LivingSwedish You have to experience it for yourself. Sweden is very popular among Germans, as just over 10,000 Germans own holiday homes in Sweden. Kiruna has been known for over 10 years around the world, for moving the entire city. Kiruna is known for its midnight sun. Because from now until mid-July, the sun never sets. In winter, Kiruna is known for the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, which is rebuilt every winter and melts in the spring. You never repeat something you build inside the ice hotel. Then you can take a sauna inside the ice hotel while sticking your head out through the roof to see the stars and the Northern Lights. facebook.com/icehotel.sweden/photos/a.10150735862487603/10159359834062603
thank you! i wish you could talk about the health care system in both countries
That's a good idea! Once I've lived in Sweden for a bit I can make a video about comparing both health care systems 😊
@@LivingSwedish 😍😍😍
The Health care here is just fine if you are an intruder from the Middle east, Africa, Asia and South America, NOT if you are a Swede, we are second class citizens in our own country, thanks to the traitors and infiltrataitors in the government and ALL other authorities.
@@Sancto58 gosh i know it! your psycho is infamous!
Would love to visit sweeden! Been to most EU countries, but never been there before
I'm sure you'll love it. Summer there is amazing!! ☀️
Yes should you wood love it IF you love water and nature
As a cyclist the constant traffic and terrible roads and traffic are a pain :(
I assume you are talking about London?! I totally agree 🚲
Another thing, if you compare with for example Spain... They hang out with their families and meet at restaurants and stuff more than swedish ppl do (sometimes) but its also a cultural thing, I think that Sweds hang out with friends at their homes more frequently than for example spanish ppl do so the difference in between the countries can also seem a bit bigger than it is I think (even if its true)... Thats also a way to make things cheaper... To for ex make a dinner at home (and buy alcohol to your home compared to drinking in pubs or restaurantes if you like that sort of thing.) Bring your friends back to your place for a game-night, or dinner or so. :) Maybe. :) (Or go out ofcourse!... But its also alot of socialiseing between ppl you dont see as easily here since its at ppls houses compared to for example in Spain where they all go out sitting at some bar/restuarante and are "seen" more easily by others.
You're absolutely right, I can totally see that! Swedes are probably as outgoing and keen to hang out with friends as Spanish people but they prefer to hang out in their homes where it's cheaper when you throw in food and drinks. Never thought of that. I think that's a great explanation 👌🏻
I would like to visit Sweden one day !!!
You definitely should. It's so beautiful! 🥰Hopefully, it will be possible again very soon🤞🏻
Volvo is also Swedish and they are making some Electric vehicles probably ...
Yeah! 👌🏻
Welcome to Sweden ❤️
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻😊
Soon you can learn to spit out the snus. very popular in Sweden.
Ehm... I don't think so 😂I'm a non-smoker or better a non-chewer 😉
Please let me know about more information of Sweden ...🥰thank you
I will definitely make more videos about living in Sweden 😊
@@LivingSwedish thanks..😊
Comming from germany speaking english you have no problem learning swedish
I'm definitely planning to learn Swedish as soon as possible 🇸🇪😊
Yeah, that should be no problem at all. The biggest problem is if Swedes find out you speak English. Tell them your English is bad.
Gorgeous woman, beautiful 😍 hope you are keep doing videos from Sweden!!!
I definitely will not stop making videos on my channel 🙋🏻♀️Thanks for keeping watching my videos! 🙏🏻
I saw you from Annie's channel, you'll reach 1k subscribers soon 🙏🙏🙏
Yay! Thank you! 😊
Sweden is the place to be !!
Yay! Great you agree 😊What's the most positive about Sweden? 🇸🇪
Word of advice... the Skandinavian countries speak English very well, but if you won’t speak their language, you gotta have problem integrating yourself into the society! You have to learn Swedish!!!
I can't wait to learn Swedish 🇸🇪I started with an app but I will also join a course soon 💥
Nordic countries are barely cheaper than London. Stockholm is not a small city, it is a city with a population of million - in the center of Stockholm it is not quiet at all. There are more and more muslim immigrants and not as safe as before. On the outskirts of London it's quiet in some places too
Yeh, I made this video before I moved to Stockholm, Sweden. Now, there are many more reasons why I love living in Sweden and prefer it to London 😉
dont worry about the cold in sweden, there is none real winter in the south half of the country anymore, due to the climate change.
Ah, I see.
Is it ILP? 😁
Hmm...
@@LivingSwedish Important Looking Pirates? Your partners new job? 😆
Long dark days in winter😗 Just be prepared for that. Bring Vitamine D.
Yesssss!! 🥶
Compared to the rest of Sweden, Stockholm is anything but slow paced.
I can very much imagine it. But coming from buzzing London I'm sure Stockholm will be a little oasis 😂
That's because outside Stockholm, literally nothing happens in Sweden 😆
I don't blame you in Sweden quality of life is better less uninploment cleaner streets
Yep! 👌🏻
2000 POUNDS!!!???
I know, right?! It's insane 🤪
Welcome🇸🇪
If you like London...welcome to civilasation
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Or Welcome to Schlaraffenland.
About ONE MILLION of so called immigrants from mostly Africa and the Middle east live on social welfare. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE HIGHEST TAXES IN THE WORLD, AND BESIDES THAT "WE" (THE STATE THAT HAVE STOLEN MONEY FROM US) GIVE BILLIONS A YEAR TO AFRICA, PALESTINE, NORTH KOREA,, AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES AND THE OCCULT UN (GOOGLE UN AND THE LUCIS TRUST)!!!
Have u nerver thought about going back to Germany?? Tell me some motives that make germans move to uk.😁
I definitely have! And we even had the option to move to Germany but we decided to move to Sweden 😉I think it really depends on who you are and what you enjoy. London is exciting, international, has great events (when there isn't a pandemic...) and the rest of the UK has amazing landscapes to visit, too. Although I think I could have made more of that, ops.
@@LivingSwedish gotcha,good lucky in sweden,and thanks for answering.
@@thalesdemoura.3460 Thank you! 😊
You want to move to Sweden and I want to move to the uk. Let’s change lives
I already live in Sweden now 😅
Stay blessed and happy in Jesus name
👌🏻
If you live in any Arabic country, you would be required to follow their rules and priorities their culture. If that is not racism, then the right has a point.
Sadly rape and assault has increased greatly over recent years. So not the wonderfully safe country it once was. However the Swedes are a gentle race, easy to walk over too. Grattis till ditt val. Lycka till i Sverige.
Sorry to hear that!
@@LivingSwedish You shouldnt take your info from people who have never been in Sweden and gets their "info" from .....whatever websites they follow :p
Welcome to Sweden.. but sadly, the country is going down the drain - due to irresponsible immigration politics and a governing party that is totally incompetent. Your safety cannot be guaranteed or even expected. I'm sorry. (I really am.) The lingering glimmer of Sweden being this kind and awesome country is fading fast.
Sorry to hear that!
@@LivingSwedish Dont listen to that right wing extremist, they always shows up just to sread theire insane political thoughts
Stay blessed and happy in Jesus name
Thank you!
