How to visit sweden by mmz43

"With a couple days' notice, work asked me to go to Sweden. How could I say no?"

How I did it: Got out my passport and got on a plane.  Seriously.  My company bought the tickets and booked the hotel and I figured the rest out when I got there.

Lessons & tips: Try the reindeer steak, the fish roe, the lingonberry jam, and the cloudberry ice cream.  Oh, and the herring.  I never thought I'd eat any of these things - OK, maybe the berries - and I am so glad I did.  DON'T try to bring any meat products back with you as they'll take them away at customs.

Resources: The locals were fantastic, super friendly, and helpful.  Everyone seems to speak English, many better than our fellow Americans.

    I used to date a Swede, so naturally I’ve been to Sweden a couple of times.
    I love the country. The Swedes are very nice people and I really enjoyed the scenery over there. I think it is really worth visiting at least once.

    It seems like an awesome country, and I think I might want to live there someday. So I want to visit it eventually to see what it’s like.

    My ma has promised me a trip to Europe next summer as a sort of graduation present. Hopefully she’ll follow through…

    I want to go there again ... 2 years ago

    I have visited Sweden during a short business trip. And like it is on such trips, you don’t get to see as much as you wanted.

    And Sweden was so beautiful and people so nice, I want to come back and spend some days in Stockholm and other places.
