About the author
Mirjam Taylor is a native Swede who left Sweden to live abroad for many years. She understands the joys and struggles of moving to a new country – understanding a foreign culture, learning a scary new language, and dealing with confusing bureaucracy.
She’s also had many dear friends approach her throughout the years, asking her questions about how to move to Sweden, and how to figure out life in Sweden after arriving. “Which visa can I apply for?” “Do I really need to learn Swedish to live in Sweden?” “How do I call home?” “How do I buy alcohol?”
The desire to help these friends started a research journey but the book would’ve never been created without the help of some incredible individuals.
We hope this book will help anyone taking their first step towards their new Swedish life to enjoy that journey!
