We are Americans living in Sweden - trying our best not to anger the locals in our broken Swedish. We have embraced living locally and love the Swedish lifestyle but can't (and won't) deny our strong American roots.
Hej, we moved from Philly area to Goteborg area in 2011 for a job transfer. Neither my wife not I are Swedish which makes us somewhat of an oddity here. The move has had its highs and lows, but overall its been a real positive and I feel that we are meant to be here although I have no idea why.
Hi Chad! We are definitely the oddballs here and most people ask us "Why would two Americans move to Sweden?" It still shocks me that Swedes don't realize how nice their own country is. I'm glad you've found a place you feel like you belong
