- If Sweden had an awesome climate, it would be like Italy being more efficient, too good to be true! Haha! I just got back from my week long vacation in the 'North of Europe' and it was super different... from anything I've ever seen! This vlog is a little long because I had a lot to say... and show! Enjoy!

As we swedish people say: The swedish summer is the best day of the year!
Spring - Agar.io lol
Spring - Agar.io ha so true😂😂😂
it's been almost 2 months since the last time I saw the sun here.........
same
Spring - Agar.io Funny! We say the same in The Netherlands :p
I'm Swedish/italian and I love your videos and your views about different countries, always interested and fun to hear how you think, i really like it. You are a great inspiration because you pay attention to the details in a country and analyze what you see! Good to see you in Sweden where I live, so fun to hear what you had to say about it! Continue with what you do. puss/bacio 😘❤
the reason why you saw so many h&m is because it is swedish haha!
Belieber 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
We don't begin our days with desserts....
so true!
True
I want to have a fika 4-5 times daily when I go visit!
We just eat macka and kaffe!
Nä vem fan gör det
We speak English well because we really embrace British and American culture. We use subtitles instead of dubbing all the international TV-shows, we listen to English speaking music (and almost a majority of Swedish artists sing in English I would say). So it's likely that you hear English whenever you put on the TV or radio. And Swedes generally use the internet a lot, and here English is the main language ofc. The Swedish society just kind of expects everyone to speak English and so people do.
come on though, the 2 languages are so similar too, that why, Im English and I learnt how to speak Swedish conversations in 1 summer
Sara Nordström wouldnt say we embrace Americans and British culture just because of us not using subtitles.
Leonard Woods Nordic culture is still the same man we learn about Vikings the same as we did way back
American "culture"? Does that mean Native Americans? Or like everything borrowed ! meaning Everything! British or English ---hahahahah The Anglos, Saxons, and the Norms... Also all borrowed. Speaking of Northern Europe aside from Sami people... hahaha Some German efficiency too
@Leonardo Bossi
According to www.quora.com/Who-inhabited-Scandinavia-before-the-Viking-age:
The people inhabiting Scandinavia before the Viking Age (8th to 11th century) spoke the Proto-Norse language, a dialect of the Indo-European Proto-Germanic language, which would eventually transform into Old Norse. (whoaaa! There were people before the Viking Age, and the Viking age was short lived... hahahaha!)
hahaha i thought you said VÄSTERÅS. like 10 swedish miles from stockholm haha.. "just walked there".. haha
...and that'ss 100 km btw
Westeros, "landet" som Game of Thrones utspelar sig i vilket också är medeltida-ish :)
Hence "kaninöronen"
Same😂
Me too!
Sweden made Skype, Spotify, Minecraft, Candy Crush Saga, IKEA, H&M......😊
+Choklad Miranda volvo ;D saab, scania, JASEN och mycket mer :P
Volvo, Dynamite, Ultrasound, Zipper (on jackets and such), Three-Point Seatbelt and sooooo much more.
+Choklad Miranda And Tetra Pak, the adjustable wrench (skiftnyckel), security matches, the propeller, the pacemaker, the cash machine, the respirator, styrofoam (frigolit), the video card (grafikkort), the list is long..
+Choklad Miranda and hot chicks, belle biondine
And fika ❤️
I want to live in Sweden so badly I am learning Swedish and I just really want to live there 🦄☺️🇸🇪🇸🇪❤️
Jag med
Why?
I live there :)
we don't need more people here in Sweden please do not come here.
Sage Glover i live here in Sweden! :)
-2 degrees is harsh? haha don't go anywhere near Scandinavia in winter dear
I wish she would have specified celsius or Fahrenheit - there's a huge difference. -2C is fine, -2F not so nice.
Ah yeah, that's quite a bit colder
Haha sant
Haha sant
Haha så sant där jag bor hade vi en ungefärlig medeltemperatur på -16 i vintras 😛
I went to Stockholm last year in September, it was as cold as London so it was bearable for me. I was shocked at how well they spoke English and how polite everyone was. Oh yeah! I went to that street where there were 5 H&M stores on one road! I'm definitely going again. It was too beautiful! x
Oh u where in city "Stockholm city" :))
+Linda Okachi you should go to the north, like a town Luleå or Lulea, but go in like august or something
Linda Okachi Hi . I want to go Sweden too . Which places can you advice m for go ? And how much do i need to for spent 1 week in Stocholm ?
Good that you liked it
Julia Ohls Yeah . Your'e from Sweden ? :)
Am I the only one who thought she meant Västerås at first?😂
Nope. I was like damn she walked really far :D
Haha, totally!
VAfan sa hon då? Var det inte Västerås hon sa?
Nej, tydligen menade hon Westeros som är kontinenten Game of Thrones utspelar sig i och den serien utspelar sig väl under medeltiden.
Hon sa Westeros, en kontinent i serien Game of Thrones
men jag trodde hon menade Västerås ocskå till jag förstod att hon menade medeltidsmarknaden i kungsträgården :D
Haha so glad you like sweden! So fun to hear about it from you, love your videos 😘
+Frida hahah thanks frida:))
I Love Your videos = Jag älskar dina videos ( on Swedish ). | Micaela Carlsson. PS: - I com from Sweden ( on swedish ) - Jag kommer ifrån Sverige 🕊🍉❤️💛💚💙💜
i am from sweden and i have never in my life eat waffles to breakfast
Sven Lindecrantz Same!
They should've made pancakes. Waffles is more of a Norweigan thing.
Sven Lindecrantz Va??? Jag gör det på lördagar ibland!

This was so interesting to listen on. I live in Sweden and just thinking like "what? Don't they have this and this in America?" This was so funny and you forgot to do something in Sweden... Eat the Swedish chocolate from marabou. It's the best chocolate in the world, I promise. And 10 degrees is not so cold because in the winter it can be like -25 degrees and that is cold here. Good video and if you come back, try the chocolate!
Yes! You really have too! :)
that's not cold. In mother russia were i live, it gets much cooler (-60°C) And marabou is not real chocolate, it only has like 20% cacao and rest is additional sugar and fat.
+M1NT You're lying. You can barely survive in -60°C. And Marabou is milk chocolate.
Michelle H what?
+Alvina Katajisto I was answering M1NT :)
H&M is a swedish brand so that's probably why we have it everywhere
i love watching ppl talking about what they think about sweden because its so funny cuz ive lived here all my life and its just fun to hear other's opinions xD
Amanda Bergström Yeah!
LOVED this. All your input, insight, and info is awesome for a fellow traveler. THANK YOU!
Next time you visit sweden, go to Göteborg!! Everyone is so nice there! And yeah im from Göteborg :D
+Kajsa Winterfall No, that is a myth.
NOPE! I love in Göteborg and everyone is SOOOOO NICE HERE!
Live*
People are nice in other cities too.
Götebörg!
I love this!!!! I'm from Sweden & for a person who's been living in the country for my whole life it's interesting to see what people who come here react on, some things I've never thought of before. Amazing video :)
Loved the video! I liked how you spoke about the cool things there between clips of your vlog
I´m from Sweden and let met just begin to say Thank You! This was very refreshing to watch. To hear what people outside of Sweden thinks of it. You made me feel a bit proud of my country. And if there is one things Swedes lack that Americans don´t it´s pride in their country ;)
I´ve been to Italy twice and I love it. Want to move there when my kids have grown up. Tried so hard to learn Italian but I can´t crack the code... even though I studied french for four years. I know it´s not the same but their principles are closer to each other than Swedish and Italian.
Lastly, you really SHOULD come here in the summertime. It´s so much better :)
This was a superfun video to watch! Glad you liked my home country and I got a new perspective on it :) Have a great day! xx
Thank you for this great video! I am swedish, and I sometimes complain on various things, but your comments really gave some perspectives. I guess we have a lot to be proud of in Sweden.
I love these vlogs and enjoy watching them. I appreciate how you pay attention to detail and talk about interesting topics. Although I do leave your videos hungry or jelous, I can say your content is worthwhile because it is thought provoking.
This video made me so happy! I'm swedish and I live in Stockholm, but right now I'm in America as an exchange student for the year. I often try to explain the way we live in Sweden and why Sweden is different from what most americans I've met think its like. It really warms my heart to here you speak so nicely about my country and it seems like you have a pretty good understaning of basic cultural traits in Sweden already. Love your videos as well! :)
I'm going to Stockholm in April, super excited!!! Thank you for sharing!! & wow your smile is so contagious, you're so beautiful!!
We use English even when talking to people we understand, like Norweigans.
You got it wrong about integration and work, though. We have huge problems in areas.
You talk english with Norweigans? I always speak swedish with Norweigans.
Nah, I speak Swedish with Norwegians. Most Swedes do I think
I even speak English with my swedish friends. I would say that 10% of everything I say is in English, and I really only talk to swedes... :O
and now you two are both writing english to each other when you´re apparently swedes.
Oh, shit... I´m a swede too.
Töligt :P
***** Yeah you can
Sweden is in the top of the list of countries that speak English the best (I'm not that good at English tho but yeah😂 I'm just 13) And the weather... You learn to like it😅💗
New subscriber here🙋🏼
Omg, Stop saying that the weather in Sweden is shit. You guys live in the North/Middle parts... Move to the south if you want good weather...
I live in halmstad and its alright ;P
I did´nt say that the weather is shit? I actually like the cold weather and I love the rain and the snow.
I´m from Sweden and i loved watching this :D You are very pretty!
Cool video! Glad you liked Stockholm, come during summer when the vibe in the city is so much better. Just like nature, people seem to bloom open during Summer haha :D
Tia I love the videos you make walking around the city, showing us the views. Make more!!! Kisses from Brazil
It's fun to hear people talking about sweden, because if you live in sweden like I do it's normal to me :)) all the things that u said in the video
This was such an interesting video, thanks for making me feel better about living in sweden haha x
so cool to see others view of sweden, and i am glad that you like it here!! xx
I was really looking forward to this video!!! Thank you for your views and inputs , they were 100% accurate! You made me appreciate Sweden even more and I love how you said "Gratis" haha! I hope you come back for summer, trust me, Sthlm is ALOT more fun during summers!! And please do a meet and greet while you're here! :D
+nabunyam next time i come i'll totally organize something!! 🙈🙈 i had even more nice things to say but the video was getting too long! You guys rock!!
+Tia Taylor Yaay, i'll be there!! You rock for making awesome videos!
I live in America but I’m half Norwegian and I have relatives in Norway. I LOVED visiting Norway, I thought it was beautiful and so different from America. It was interesting to see this video to compare Sweden to Norway, now I want to visit Sweden too! I love your videos, they inspire me to travel and learn about the differences and similarities in other cultures
very interesting to hear about sweden! and those waffles looked really good lol, good job tia
+Briller hahaha right! Here i was thinking i knew all there was to know about europe 😅😅 nope not at all hahah and they were! Thanks brian!
Loved the vlog! Really happy that you liked sweden!
We used to have "50 öre" which was basically a half crown (0.50:-) , but they took those away 6 years ago or so. Prior to that, there used to be coins for 1 öre, 5 öre, 10 öre and 25 öre as well, not in my life-time though. :)
I'm in my 30s and I used 25 öre and 10 öre, it's not THAT long ago 😃
I love it when you vlog like this!!!!
Omg I haven't watched this yet but I'm so excited to! Hope you had a blast in my country
Awesome that you liked Sweden so much! This was a great video! :D
I just found your channel and I already love it! You seem to be so nice and smart. Also fun to hear you like Sweden, I am Swedish
Such a well put together video. Editing & commentary on point 👌🏾
Now I have. New country on my list to visit 😊
Loved to hear your opinion about my beautiful country! Really well made video :)
I watch these videos because I always find it funny how excited you are to discover new things (which is always a good thing). University is also gratis in Germany and Austria for instance and the whole paying an unemployed person while they retrain is also common in central and northern Europe
ohh, this video was so interesting to hear, I'm from Sweden and it's so nice to hear all those positive things about Sweden.
Mm, no country is perfect but we are pretty good, right?

I live for 20 minute travel vlogs especially travel vlogs!! Thanks Tia 👌🏽
+Odaddio hahaahah you're welcome!!
i loved this video! im from sweden and this made me real happy 😃 a down part with all the pros u mentioned about sweden is that teenagers get soo comfortable and lazy. which ends up that a lot of people take all those stuff for granted..
Thank you for being an inspiration Tia! :)
Amazing vlog! Love watching videos bout Sweden haha
thank you for this video, made me realise how fantastic my home town is.
This was a great insight video into your experience of Sweden and seeing the sights of Stockholm. My first time there was in 1991 and I totally loved my experience there. It's been 25 years too long. After seeing your video, I am making sure I will be take a holiday to Stockholm very soon. And this time I'll bring my partner with me.
Haha yes weather in March can be really harsh if you are expecting spring. Usually April it starts to get nicer (but can still be hella cold) and now it's just glorious, warm, sunny and just green and totally beautiful :)
Yup, I needed some flattering. Thank you stranger.
Tack för en fin video!. Tror du fått en bra uppfattning av hur vi svenskar funkar!. Välkommen tillbaka! ps: väldig "GO" musik i bakgrunden också!. Mvh Thomas
that was super interesting Tia good job!
Hey! Which camera did you use for the vlog?
I just got back from Stockholm a few weeks ago. It's nice to see other people's experiences on the same kind of trip :)
We don't really eat waffles as breakfast. So you did it wrong. Go for sandwiches, yogurt or oatmeal and then you've had a Swedish breakfast. Also it's only in Stockholm we have any norms of which side you walk on, and it's on the RIGHT side
Nah, you are supposed to walk against the car traffic to be seen more easily and have time to react when something goes wrong.
MiraJane D I always eat waffles for breakfast
What about eggs with kaviar! :P
Hampus Tman bara om det är Kalles ;P
MiraJane D Nej det ska vara Svennes! >:(
;)
wait what? we walk on the left? i always walk on the right...?
I'm an american expat who has lived in Sweden (northern part) FOR 15 years. You're observations are spot on!
Yeah, if you're social awkvard and anxious Sweden is the perfect place for you. We're experts at avoiding each other in public :p No but honestly this was a super nice vlog to see, especially for a swede. I've recently been pretty concerned about this country, mostly because of the schools and how the new generations are raised. So it's really nice and interesting to hear something like this from someone abroad with another perspective with a more optimistic view.
Awesome video, I liked it a lot. A lot of people forget key things but this, I think, will help people going to Sweden for sure. A few things though, I am not going to pick your video apart, I promise. It is not always windy in winter making it more bearable, although cold. You were also at the coast, that is a big thing as well. We used to have öre, 1 krona equals 100 öre. Since the currency is not what it used to be though, we've discontinued the use. It is bulle (bun), but that's short for kanelbulle (cinnamon bun).
Thanks again!
fun that you liked sweden. I live in sweden and if you think that it was 11c is cold. Think about that in the winter up north it can be up to 30c-
but still i love sweden
I'm an Afro-Swede and I loved your video and your thoughts on the things that are second nature to us who was born here. I hope you enjoyed your stay, I love your channel! :)
+Gmkudw W 🙈🙈 thanks love! I'm glad you like it!
I love that you talk about class! You seem cool, imma subscribe.
Haha yep, springtime in Sweden is characterized by huge temperature differences, at least in my experience. When the sun is out, I throw off my jacket, then 5 minutes later the sun is covered by clouds and I wish I had brought along my winter coat. :)
Yes, we walk to the left. The good thing about it is that since we drive to the right, we walk in a way that in the lane closest, you will have good sight over cars, so if they lose control you won't get run over from behind.
Not usually my kind of video, but good job :) A good video requires me to hit that like button!
I'm Swedish and I agree with what you're saying about how the English language is so common in the everyday life outside of School. Remember that I went home from school when I was 10-12 years old watching Fresh Prince in Bel Air, Sabrina the teenage witch and Simpsons everyday!
Such a cool channel! Thanks for sharing your travels!
I'm sorry but you're wrong about Swedens integration of immigrants, it's not easy for them to get jobs even after living in the country for 20 years! And they have the highest unemployment rates in the country although the government is trying to implement programs that increase their employability. But the difference between Sweden and Italy is that they have a very good welfare system. But unfortunately many get stuck in that system.
IT mainly has to do with will. It is not hard to get a job in Sweden, for anyone, if you are competent.
The reason their unemployment rate is so high is because they dont want to work. Not because they can't. Especially the women, u see in the middle east its embarrassing for a woman to work, especially the generations they come from, its changing abit now. For the most part in western Europe Muslim immigrant women dont work. They also dont integrate much, they didn't come to integrate or to offer anything, they came to take. Ps I'm not white before u call me a racist :-)
Perhaps a bit of a generalization? I teach at Södertörn högskola. 40% children of immigrants, the majority from the Middle East. 60% women. And believe me, they WORK. Because they want a JOB. Further, family businesses are run by men - but the women WORK. Believe me, they work HARD - but they are not on the pay-roll. So do look around before making generalizations based on religion and gender. So many other things play in!
Lol you're so wrong. You talk about "they" and generalise so much. Says alot about you educational level and intelligence.
go to Malmö maybe and see how ''they'' do not work and ''muslim women'' do not work........ like 90% of small businesses there are run by immigrants and 60% of that 90% are run by middle eastern immigrants and you can see that by your eyes!
Not to mention many of ''them'' have a high education level from ''their'' countries but due the language struggling, they don't work in places that fits them better than ''their'' current job.
you picked the worst time of the year to go to stockholm, the spring and the summer is the best!
Amazing video! Sweden is defo one of my next destinations to go! :)
additionalstory dont go in the winter....
Trust me😐😐
Its really fun to look at videos that they talk about Sweden hhaha i love it
Great video! Im from Sweden and I agree with everything you're saying! :)
You should be in Sweden now, it's so hot right now! I'm Swedish and I love to watch videos like this because it's funny to hear what other countries think of us and our country!
Wish I could comment about everything you said but it would be such a long comment. I remeber how EVERYONE speaks fluent English, it was unbelievable. I really like this type of videos, where you also give your views on things. Love your channel!
+Ioana Pilat ahahah altighty! I'll make more 😁😘
Yeah us swedes and our english abilities are really awesome i must say, i thought it was kinda normal for most countries to have the english language almost as a second native language that just comes natural to you but this vid opened up my eyes and made me realize how great Sweden is and how unique and international we are :-) hugs from Sweden!!!
In Sweden we generally walk on the right, APART from in the Central Station by the metro. On the streets people generally keep to the right like the car traffic. Example on 5.20-5.25 in the video
99% av tiden går vi på trottoarer och stigar i städerna. Då håller folk mestadels till höger. Går du ute på nån landsväg så håller du såklart till vänster - mot mötande trafik - pga att det är säkrare. Enkelt!
Noooo, it's an unwritten rule to walk to the left!
lindastralberg take a look at sidewalks and paths in stockholm. people tend to walk on the right. maybe if you're from a small village it's different
It's actually a written rule that we walk on the right. The only exception is when walking on a road with cars, then you are ALLOWED to walk on the left. Not required.
I'm sooo proud over my country!!! Love Sweden sooo much!
to go on the left side does we especially when it's dark to face cars. this makes you have more contact with the cars so they doesn't show up unexpected from the back.
Ty for all your loving words about sweden, much love to you :)
Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing. Much love from Atlanta :)
Aye I live there too 😃 Yes much love, Tia ❤
It's so interesting to know what other people think of Sweden, because you never really stop and think about what you do or how things work in your own country.
I've never known anyone who eats waffles for breakfast though, however, pancakes are more popular if your going that direction for breakfast, but it's not really that common either..waffles are almost always dessert. And you said 'bulle' pretty good, I understood you :)
*Kungsträdgården (as in kung-king and trädgård-garden, kings garden)
Really nice video! :)
So cool hearing about your home country/city from a foreigners point of view!
+Lovisa Snickars 🙌🏾🙌🏾 i'm glad i can be the one to fulfill this need for you guys! 😁😁
Omg I love how you say "bulle"! So cute haha! (I´m from sweden)
Thanks for not mixing Sweden and Europe together as Americans sometimes tend to do haha
Your description of Sweden was really accurate!
Aaand you're stunning!
it makes me want to go to sweden when you said they like to maintain their own individuality
Helllooo there! Sooo fun to hear someone from a other country speak about Sweden! But a tips, do not come here in the Winter.... About 10 - 20 degrees and so much snow. ;)
Hi Tia, I'm Swedish but live in Milan just like you! I really enjoy watching your videos as I recognize and agree with so many of your points of views (speaking about dealing with the italian traditions, population and society). Nice to hear about your opinions about my home country. Keep up the good work! Oh, and btw, cinnamon roll is called "kanelbulle" not just "bulle". :)
If you don't like here, you can go back to your beautiful sweden.
Amazing vlog! You're analysis was expert-like, first time I've seen that in a tourist-vlog about Sweden. Lovely to see, intelligence is sexy! :D
there's i probably so many H&M stores because H&M is from Sweden :) Really enjoyed this video. And yeah, not many eat waffles for breakfast... :) And you should've visited in the summer, when the climate IS awesome.
Hi Tia , another great video , as always . . . I hope you enjoy your stay there :) Europe is beautiful , it's diverse culturally , naturewise , geographically . . Always something new to see and explore .
Do you plan to visit London too ? :) I would like to see your vlog about your feelings of London etc.
Greetz to Milano :)
Yes, we walk on the left side in Sweden. It's safer because it means that cars on the nearest lane can be seen from the front when they come towards you (which give a opportunity for a reaction if they would accidently drive up on the pavement). Bicyclers have their own lane in the pavement between pedestrians pavement and cars lane.
Great video! I'd love to visit Sweden one day :)
I'm going to visit a good friend of mine in Stockholm and Örebro this summer and this was great to see. I will have to try Max, shop at H&M and enjoy the beautiful city
So Tia, now that you have visited Sweden and you liked it so much. Do you still want to remain in Italy or you are having second thoughts?
We are scared of other people here in Sweden that's why we don't bump in to you.
This was so fun to hear someone's perspective on swedes! ^.^
