When you move to Sweden, join some clubs for expats in Sweden. Even if you ultimately want to spend a lot of time with locals, having a network for English speakers is helpful. The American Club of Sweden holds monthly social mixers at hotels, Thanksgiving dinner, an Independence Day picnic, lectures, super bowl parties, museums outings, festival visits and more. The Swedish British Society holds society parties every month, lectures and information sessions (i.e. Brexit updates), cultural outings and more. The International Women’s Club of Stockholm hosts coffee mornings, afternoon teas, luncheons, museum visits, after work gatherings and more.
Beyond the famed natural beauty of Sweden’s snowy landscapes, magnificent fjords, world-class cities, and the Northern Lights—not to mention the natural beauty of its gorgeous citizens—the benefits of living in Sweden also include its reputation for quality of life. Add to that a well-deserved reputation for Scandinavian orderliness, pristine cities, great public transportation, world-renowned social care, a prosperous economy, and Sweden’s perennially high standard of living.
