🇸🇪 I love life in Sweden 🇸🇪
... even during dark, cold winters! 🥶
I am from Austria 🇦🇹🥨, with half-French background 🇫🇷🥖, but moved to
Stockholm half a year ago and
adore it here!
I did my Master's degree in Sweden 5 years ago and promised myself
that I would one day return. Every time I came on visit I had a tough
time leaving again. I lived abroad most of my adult life, but the
country I liked the most was undoubtlessly Sweden.
My last visit was in December 2020 ✈️ and that is when I made my
decision to return, for good. In April this year, I quit my job in
Austria and at end of May I packed my bags and landed in Stockholm 🛄
The latter is often named Europe's Silicon Valley, so little surprise
I ended up working for a tech-company, within Sales 👩💻
Moving to Stockholm was a great decisions, I love my job, live on
Södermalm which is a hip borough, have a
fantastic Swedish flatmate, many of my
friends from uni-time are still around, and so much more that makes
life here a blast! I already experienced one winter ❄️, as I was
studying up North in the country, so I know I can cope with -
more than the cold - the darkness. The sun
sets at 3:30 pm now (November), and we had first snow already! ☃️ But
hey, you know the upside? Endless days in Summer, as the sun barely
sets! ☀️ Also, the Swedes know how to make the most of winter. Full of
celebrations, reasons to gather around nice foods, Christmas
decorations lighting up the streets... Stockholm does not get gloomy
at all, winter rather feels cosy! ⭐️
