🔴 Some say hobbies are things like hiking, knitting or baking sourdough 🧐

But for many government offices in Sweden, the real passion is… making things harder than they need to be 🧩🇸🇪

From waiting times longer than a Scandinavian winter 🌨️ to being asked for documents you can’t even get without the very permit you’re applying for –
this is bureaucracy at its most poetic 🙃

Blessing my EU passport daily like it’s holy water 🙏💼

🔴 Don’t walk -  RUN!

…to the nearest Polish store and grab some Ptasie Mleczko (only from E. Wedel - it’s the original and still the best 💪).

It’s my absolute favourite Polish candy. I spotted it on the shelf the other day and realised it’s been way too long since I last had it.
Want to learn the proper Polish way to eat it? Check out the video 🤩

For more Polish tips and recommendations, visit my YouTube channel. My vlog from a recent 72‑hour trip to Poland is waiting for you 🥰

 7 more are planning to join:
➕ Blekinge
➕ Kronoberg
➕ Norrbotten
➕ Uppsala
➕ Västernorrland
➕ Västerbotten
➕ Västra Götaland

Should it be free for everyone under 27 - no matter their gender? Drop your opinion in the comments 👇

🎲 Remember when I said Göteborg made it onto the Monopoly board?
 Well… guess who had to add it to their collection? 🙋‍♀️

I already own the Wrocław edition (🇵🇱) and a vintage Pokémon Monopoly from probably 1999 (yes, I still have all the cards). So this was non-negotiable.

But here’s the catch: 🛒 The Göteborg edition was sold out online or just unavailable everywhere I checked.
 Luckily, you can still grab it in person - at the gift shop next to the Götheborg ship! @theswedishshipgotheborg

💸 Price? Around 500 kr. 📦 Fresh batch just arrived. ⏳ Get yours before the collectors raid the shelves again.

Because let’s be honest… How often do you get to buy Baltic-harbor real estate in board game form?

1️⃣ Save this for your next visit. 2️⃣ Send to your fellow Monopoly hoarder. 3️⃣ Follow for more fun, finds & facts from Sweden.

📉 Inflation shock in Sweden!
 Prices rose 2.9% in June - way more than expected.
 Experts call it a “cold shower” and warn it could stop future interest rate cuts.
 But others say: stay calm, one jump doesn’t mean a crisis.

📌 Real impact? The Riksbank might hit pause on lowering rates this year.
 Next week’s final inflation report will be key.

Literally me in July, standing like 😐☕ just waiting for my favorite café to reopen in August.

How is it that the entire world somehow finds extra staff to cover summer vacations… and Sweden just collectively decides to close? 😂

I get it - semester is sacred - but maybe, just maybe, I wanted a cinnamon bun without scheduling it around a national shutdown?

🚨 New UK travel scam - and yes, it’s legal?!

Swedes heading to the UK now need an ETA to enter. But if you don’t apply through the official site, you could end up paying over 1,000 SEK instead of 200 😩

Fake websites look real and promise “fast service” but charge way more.

Konsumentverket says many people are falling for it and calling in angry.

Tip? Use Sweden Abroad for the right link and if you’ve been fooled, try contacting your card provider to possibly get a refund.

🍄 Mushroom season has officially begun!

The first chanterelles are already peeking out!

Where to look: 🌲 Spruce forests with birch 🚜 Old gravel roads & tractor tracks 🌿 Mossy ledges with dripping water

You might also spot russulas, tooth fungi, or even the royal karljohan if you’re lucky.

⚠️ But don’t risk it - only eat what you’re 100% sure of. Sweden has some seriously toxic mushrooms too.

So... who’s already planning their next forest walk? 🍃✨
