Life is good in Sweden. The government spends money on public services, while college education and healthcare are free. There must be something in the water because the Swedes have one of the longest life expectancies in the world.
Stockholm is a beautiful and historic capital city, but be sure to venture to other areas of the country, including Kosterhavet for snorkeling, Gothenburg for the food and Lapland for the Northern Lights. Ahh, it’s time for Fika.
