Life in Sweden

🔴 Just few more months left!

Usually I appreciate every kind of weather, especially since we’ve moved to Göteborg and the variety of seasons is clear and visible. But sometimes I have just hard moments where lack of sun is just too much. Then the only thing keeping me alive is this thought that in few months we’re going to have the most beautiful season in Sweden - summer ☀️

🔴 IKEA explained!

Fellow Americans… I’ve always wanted to say that 😆

But now, jokes aside. No matter where are you from, learn with me how to pronounce IKEA properly.

And stay for a bit longer to find out how they name their products or where IKEA originates from so you never make that mistake ever again 🫶

✨ Crafting Memories in Göteborg! ✨

This weekend, we hosted an amazing silver jewellery-making workshop in the heart of Göteborg, led by the incredibly talented Stefan Salomonsson (@s.salomonssonjewelry), a master silversmith with over 20 years of experience. Together with his colleague Signe, Stefan guided us through designing and creating unique silver rings - from hammering textures to polishing the perfect finish. 🛠💍

The workshop was held in Stefan’s cozy studio, surrounded by creativity, good vibes, and even two adorable dogs, who made sure we didn’t miss out on any cuddles. 🐾✨

A huge THANK YOU to our gift bag sponsor, @tvalaochtvaga , for the handcrafted soaps that made the day even more special! 🌿🧼

Everyone left with not only a stunning piece of jewellery but also an unforgettable experience.

🔴 What is your view on Systembolaget?

My alcohol consumption limits to just few times a year, mainly when I’m travelling and have a chance to try local alcohols, beers or wines.
Also, 90 seconds is too short to include all nuances and all angles I’m looking at this matter.

That being said, in general I’m not against.

Systembolaget offers wide range of products in one place and people who work there know all products really well so they’re able to advice you and help you with even most complicated questions.

Limited hours are not a problem neither, I think usually all shopping may be planned just like we plan our groceries. It’s more of a surprise for tourists who hadn’t known Systembolaget exists before they come and learn the hard way.

But I understand the voices against such strict alcohol policy. In that case, it’s hard for me to make a clear statement on this issue as a person who might not necessarily be the target group of the product itself.

This is why I’d gladly hear what you have to say 🫶

🔴 Like they think they’ve just entered the paradise

One of the many advantages of Systembolaget (not including those obvious ones) is undoubtedly the variety of the available assortment. You will most likely find popular alcohols from all over the world here, carefully sorted so that you can easily find your way around them.

For me, this is one of the signs of responsible drinking, as it encourages tasting rather than just getting drunk.

Also worth noting is the staff training - people working at Systembolaget know the products they sell and can give great advice and answer even the most detailed questions. Matching the best wine to goulash or finding the perfect drink for a planned dinner? No problem.

That’s why I appreciate the existence of Systembolaget more than the possibility of buying alcohol anywhere - you can plan your purchases, and at least you can be sure that you will always find what you are looking for.

🔴 Or MONTH I should say 😆

Hopefully, we have just few more months to go. It’ll fly fast, I’m telling you - we blink and there would be summer right away 😎

But no, seriously, how are you holding up out there? 🫶

🔴 SYSTEMBOLAGET

🥂 Welcome to Sweden, where buying alcohol isn’t as simple as a trip to your local supermarket! 😅

Here’s the lowdown:
🍺 Systembolaget is your go-to for alcoholic beverages - and yes, it’s a government-run store.

🕑 They only open during specific hours (no late-night booze runs here!).

💸 No shopping spree - it’s a strictly regulated experience. The focus is on responsible drinking.

So, if you’re craving a wine night or planning to stock up for a Swedish summer, make sure you plan ahead! 📅
