  • Successful Relocation to Sweden
    Apr 30 2024

    This week, we're diving into all things related to a move to Sweden. By listening to this episode, you'll get amazing tips on how to tackle both practical challenges and find the right mindset for a smooth and successful settling-in process in Sweden. Moving TO, instead of moving FROM, is one key to success. Another key is to have a long-term perspective from the beginning, even if your plan is to stay for a shorter period of time.


    We're thrilled to have Lena Rekdal, the founder of Nimmersion, a relocation company, as our guest on the podcast. With almost 30 years of experience, Lena is a true expert in relocation issues, immigration regulations, finding a home and a school, and landing successfully in Sweden.
