7 Swedish Habits I Picked Up After 14 Years in Sweden

After almost 14 years in Sweden, some Swedish habits that once felt strange or unfamiliar have become completely normal to me. In this video, I share a few of the everyday behaviours and attitudes I gradually picked up — from how I deal with weather and free time, to parenting, boundaries, work and what I now consider a balanced life. Some of these changes happened so slowly that I didn’t really notice them at the time. Looking back, though, I can see how much living in Sweden has shaped the way I live today. If you live in Sweden, have moved here from somewhere else, or are simply curious about Swedish culture and everyday life, I hope you enjoy this one. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Is there a Swedish habit that has become completely normal to you too?
