The 5 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Moving to Sweden:
1. Being active in Sweden is not a lifestyle choice - its the way of life! And don't get me wrong, not everyone is super active all the time, but people train and look after their bodies on a whole different level to in the UK!
2. It gets dark - no, seriously! You've heard Swedish winters are filled with long, cold and dark days, but did you know that the light pollution is so low in Sweden that you'll need to prepare to experience dark nights like you've never seen before! No wonder its possible to see the Northern Lights!
3. Coffee is basically a human right in Sweden - almost every workplace you go to will offer you free coffee throughout the working day. Same at popular public spots and institutions. Wave goodbye to all that money you've thrown at Starbucks over the years!
4. Everything shuts down in July! - you've heard of the Swedish summer, I'm sure, but did you know that Sweden basically closes down in the month of July? By law, employees are entitled to FOUR weeks of paid vacation back-to-back and you'll find lots of people take up this opportunity!
5. Swedes love to queues! - I thought I knew my fair share about queuing because us Brits are famous for our love of queues as well. But we seriously have NOTHING on the Swedes! Prepare to need to get a kölapp in basically every food, clothes or utilities store you visit! No kölappar - no purchase!! So look out for those red machines!
