About Sweden
Sweden stretches from the Arctic Circle to the southern tip parallel with Denmark. Outdoor activities are very popular. Most of the population lives in small rural towns, and while the major cities are populous and modern, they retain some of their ancient charm with pockets of medieval streets and architecture. Traditional festivities include celebrations of nature, most notably the return of spring. And during the summer in the North of Sweden, you will experience the midnattssol (midnight sun), the time of the year where the sun does not set.

We Are All Alike

“People are really different. Some people say, ‘we are all alike’ and in a way I suppose that’s true, but I think I was looking at it the wrong way. We as people are the same in a basic sense – but look deeper and you will find a world unknown to you on every level. It was not just an experience for me to learn the Swedish lifestyle as a whole, but it was also an experience to learn about the individuals and learn about myself.” -U.S. to Sweden, Year
