- Charlotte and Stuart sold almost everything they had and moved from England to Northern Sweden. Here they started a family whilst having interesting jobs, a work life balance and a nice, cheap countryside house.
Here are some useful links if you are interested in moving to north Sweden. Check out these websites:

Dont listen to your friends..because a little village in sweden with a couple of household are more active then a big city,everyone help each other, it's an whole new level of living..love these series..and so glad that could see a new one..and welcome too sweden ❤
When I see video's of people who have moved to Sweden, I get a broader view of our country. Things that we take for granted and do not reflect on more, many are amazed and happy about. One should not take liberties, lifestyle and culture for granted but appreciate and enjoy them.
I grew up always happy and proud of the system we have here. Everyone chips in to make sure everyone has the ability to get health care, an education, bond with their new born child etc. But the amount in recent years who literally claim they get "nothing" for the taxes and spew the "taxes is stealing" nonsense that you hear in the US, all while their parents probably were able to stay at home with time when they were young because of it or you drive on public roads or use public parks etc, is pretty flabbergasting. The amount of "me, me, me" some people exhibit today is almost sad to see when so many before us put blood, sweat and tears into building what we all enjoy today. So yes, I think many take things for granted today.
I wish the best for this little family! Proud that they chosed Sweden to start a family in, and i hope they get all the benefits from living here.
Britain, why do you let go of good people like this? YOINK, ours now! 😍
Wellcome one and all! If you can deal with the darkness and the snow you will find the dream life here in northern Sweden
And in the summer it does´nt get dark at all :-)
So nice to see how good you have settled in. Hope you will have a wonderfull life here in Sweden. Cheers.
Looking forward to following your journey xxx sending love from the Cotswolds xxx
Välkomna till Sverige !!!
Absolutely loved this video.
Thanks ❤ We love it too!
awww... she's so cute! yeah, the fact that snacks just like... grow on a bush? that was a weird but AMAZING thing to get used to :)
Welcome!
What a nice family you are. :-)
Welcome, hope you guys stay and have a good life :)
Aww this made my heart so happy as I am getting ready to move in a year or so with my little boy 🤍 wishing you guys a lifetime of happiness
Nice content! Congratulations! ❤
I can imagine it being a lot less stress up there, you have room and a large garden area where your child can play around in, and the dog did look happy enough :)
Depends if you find dealing with the dark and cold easy. Most people will find it very difficult.
@@mariemaier5630 True it is not for everyone i love it myself being a huge fan of winter.
very informative, thanks
Creative thinking. Turning the extra house into a B&B. Wish others did that, there is a market for B&B´s now due to the Covid. When you can´t travel abroad. And the extra cash on does not say no to.
Welcome to Sweden! Just a little tip - "ostmacka" is one word. We're having severe issues here in Sweden with so many people adapting the Anglosaxon way of writing things with two words (e.g. "cheese sandwich").

Great vid
Welcome to Sweden! Just a little tip when it comes to blueberry stains. They are easily removed by placing the stain over a cup and pour hot, almost boiling water over just the stain. It immidiately goes away. Also, you can get yellow tinge and bananastains away by placing the cloth on the grass in sunshine a couple of days, wear it down with a couple of small stones so it doesn`t blow away!
Great tips!! ❤ if you think of any others, would love to read them
Looks like a nice place!!
Subscribed thank you 💜💜💜
Welcome! Hope you will enjoy it here.
Welcome to Sweden.
Welcome to Sweden!

Could´nt agree more,panncakes with blueberry jam & cream...(vispgrädde in Swedish)..yummy !

Nice video....my full support😍🥰😘🙏One my my dream country in Europe to visit....see u around....keep safe to the whole family
Hi, i'm looking into moving to sweden with my small family for the same reasons as you. Have you made a video where you share your learnings / experiences about the house hunt / buying? thanks
Indonesia is here👍🏻🇲🇨
Welcome
Amazing they will not look back
So… I’ve seen quite a few videos of native English speakers moving to Sweden.
1: Language - I lived in Hungary for close to 2 decades and no one speaks English (not in the capital)
2: Getting a job not knowing language
3: Paying for the house, can imagine having to fly back and forth talking to banks.
4: How do you find a house? Hemsnet, I believe it is, the only site (in Swedish that peeps recommend)
* so much for right clicking to translate- IPad will have none of it.
So…anything else?
Åliden that is NORTH.
I am just outside Gävle.
My dream......
How did you find applying to immigrate? How long till you got comfortable with swedish language?
As non Swedish born speaker - English and Swedish Are Real close ! You Have to Have The intrest of learning a another Language ! Make a Decicion to LEARN - sooner The BETTER !
У меня вопросы: ходит малыш в детский сад? Там есть школа?
It's only around 15km from a bigger town called Skellefteå, where most people work anyway so I would guess the children in that village go to daycare there.
With Sweden being one of the very few countries whose governments didn't become full-on fascists during this pandemic, I expect a lot more people will be looking at living there now.
I've only ever spent a few days hiking in Padjelanta National Park, but it was a great experience.
You might have an opinion on that but in the United States we pulled the side of caution rather than fascism like you were stating many countries in Europe happy been polled caution with regard to COVID-19 the death rate in Sweden is astronomical look at retirement homes and other places you’ll see and if I’m wrong show me the numbers please
@@danyelPitmon www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/
Sweden comes in at 28 from the top when looking at deaths/capita (total).
Countries like France, Portugal, Spain, USA, UK, Italy & Belgium are all developed countries that are substantialy worse of then Sweden in spite of locking down.
@@Zilanto Sweden is the worst of the Nordic countries. The proportional death toll in Sweden is 10 x the Finnish one.
After a year of coronavirus the Swedish reckless policy has been a disaster compared to more responsible policies of the other Nordic countries. The worst part is the fact, that e.g we in Finland keep getting contaminated by Sweden.
@@timoterava7108 Yes and I guess you like to twist the knife
a little extra.
You should be content with being happy about how well things went for Finland compared to not only Sweden but many, many other countries.
@@kristerforsman2448 My comments were the response for the original post and the others, which claimed the succesfullness of the Swedish "non-fascist" corona policy.
Naturally I have no reason to twist any knives. I'm only angry of the people STILL not getting it - and of them continuing to spread the virus.
When you say blueberries you are actually talking about Bilberries.
Doesn't matter, they are blåbär in Swedish.
@@annicaesplund6613 Of course it matters. Saying oranges when you are talking about apples is senseless.
Any more jobs available? I'd love to move there!
Job doesn't use to be a problem, a litle bit matter to time and place. In some professionalitys there is a high personal need.
The problem use to be finding a home if you need to live in the city, especially if your economy, personal needs and choices says you must/should rent your home. If you can put 4-5 millions (SEK) to buy your home, then your safe.
There are some useful links about work permit, jobs, housing etc in the description above, maybe you will find some answers to your questions :)
@@newlandofopportunity9282 Thank you so much. I'm looking at all of my options.
Would give anything to live in Sweden just have to overcome some obstacles
Why only in Sweden? Everything discussed here applies also to the other Nordic countries. Of course not every municipality is the same. Some are better suited for the foreigners - or your special requirements - than the others.
@@timoterava7108 The reason why Sweden is because from what I have been finding out and liking or a lot of the things regarding Sweden that I really love the other Nordic countries I don’t know but I will have to look at them but I’m just kind of blown away by Sweden their language their culture food and apparently cost-of-living isn’t that bad and I would love to learn the language
@@danyelPitmon Finns can become a bit childish and start arguing if you praise Sweden to much. It’s the inferiority complex I believe. 😉🇸🇪❤️🇫🇮
@@Jonsson474 don’t wish to offend anybody but I would love to learn more about all the other Nordic countries even though a good part of me would like to move to Sweden and standing out is not my thing at all
@@danyelPitmon You would be most welcome.
I only speak Ukrainian. I am using google translator. Therefore, please excuse me if the translation is bad! I am from Western Ukraine. I am a nurse and I save lives. I live now in Germany. I need a lawyer to file, with other disabled citizens of Ukraine, a lawsuit against Norway. My husband, a Ukrainian (oil worker, human rights activist) became disabled as a result of his defense of the rights of other people (Norwegian and Russian media for 9 years). My husband fought corruption in the Russian oil giant, which was headed by the founder of the 6th Directorate of the FSB and the ex-Chancellor of Germany. My husband defended the rights of disabled people and Ukrainians in Norway against Russian-speaking citizens of this NATO country. The Norwegians took my disabled husband to Moscow AFTER: anti-war pickets of my husband in the Russian Federation, his defense of the rights of Ukrainians in Norway, the issuance of documents to my husband by the Norwegian Red Cross for his close relatives (Polish servicemen repressed by the Russians), sentencing his defender to prison (in married to a citizen of Finland for 25 years) in Belarus, who reported the crime of the Norwegians against the Ukrainians and was recognized as a Political prisoner. My husband and his lawyer warned the Norwegians about the coming war, but they did not believe him. The husband was kidnapped and the war began. And after the war began, the Norwegians do NOT admit their mistakes! Unlike the Swedes, the Norwegians DO NOT LIKE to admit their mistakes even when the Chechen refugees deported by the Norwegians were killed in the Russian Federation (Norwegian media).hfrfs
🇸🇪
Do you speak Swedish? How did you find jobs?
I think they work as teachers. People from the municipality of Skellefteå went to England, trying to convince English teachers to move there.
Found an article about them, google "De bytte England mot Varuträsk" and then google translate it.
@@Asa...S Indeed...and how do they do that if they do not speak Swedish I wonder...never mind, none of my business what so ever...I just find it amazing with all these people moving to northern Sweden and starting "new lives"...do they plan on become "Swedes" or is it just an exotic thing to do for a couple of years and then tell to the grandchildren back home in the UK?
@@henriettanovember4733 Everyone in Sweden speaks English, so it´s no problem if you don´t speak Swedish at arrival. If you work as a teacher you will learn Swedish quite fast, from interacting with the kids. There is also free classes in Swedish for all immigrants, "SFI", Swedish for immigrants. For an English speaker Swedish (together with Dutch and Norwegian) is one of the easiest languages to learn.
Funny - I *left* Sweden to start a family. :) Sweden bans homeschooling, and both for practical reasons (logistics of planning to live off-grid in the woods) and philosophical reasons, no child of mine will go to what we today call "school", especially not in Sweden.
Where are you living now?

Oh noes too much diversity and stuff?
I'm not too fond of insular folk isolating their children from the rest of society so as to sow seeds of prejudice.
You'll fit right in America though
