05/17/22 • 57 min

Fasten your 3-point seatbelts, we are heading West in today's episode! Göteborg (or Gothenburg) is a brilliant city for so many reasons, mainly because so many wonderful Newbies call it home. In today's episode, we are meeting two of them: Veronica from Cafe Molokini and Vishnu from Volvo Group. We also chat a little bit about Gothenburg's history and touch on the hilarity that is the Gothenburg accent - possibly the jolliest of all Swedish accents! Thanks for listening!

Previous Episode

An unexpected message from Sheona

Today's episode is... well...slightly different, due to an unexpected Migrationsverket-related incident.

Not everything about being an expat is fun and our team is personally currently experiencing a not-so-fun part of being a Newbie in Sweden.

But this is also a reality of being an expat and something we wanted to share with you!

The GOOD NEWS is that the Newbie Guide to Sweden Podcast will return in May. Until then, why not use this extra time to write us a review or share us with another Newbie?

Have you completed our Salary Survey? In 2017, data showed that immigrants tend to be paid lower salaries than their Swedish counterparts - we want to see if that is still the case! It takes 2mins to complete: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScep8Bp3jlv-MzCh7dL8injGtioWSLotH5On6xB-_eG6DncPA/viewform
