Before I came to Sweden 11 years ago to study, I thought I was gonna go back after the study is finished. I am still here, enjoying this beauty almost every day.

Best food: Punchrulle...formerly known as a Vacuum cleaner (looks like a 1950's vacuum cleaner). Arrack drenched bread crumbs cased in marzipan and dipped in chocolate. Started as product made from leftovers in the bakeryshops.

Dear Mandy & John, I found your channel by accident. I am a Frenchy living in Denmark for the last 28 years. I am generally very cautious with foreigners driving by a country and giving their opinion... but I fell for your tone, your open mind, your kindness... Thank you for your beautiful pictures and I'll enjoy following you from now on. If you ever get by Espergærde in Denmark (nothern part of Sealand), please stop by!. Take care of yourselves. Cedric

I've lived in Sweden for ten years now, still takes my breath away.

I've just spent nearly a month in Sweden (well in August). Gorgeous country, gorgeous people..

Ah I bet that was fantastic 😁

As a Swede, living in Örnsköldsvik it's exiting to see what you think about our country. It's so easy to look past things that we take for granted. I must say you guys have shown Sweden very well. I follow both Chrome and Chad and have been amazed at their adventures and how they find beautiful places in no man's land. I have previously reflected on the fact that we actually do have the same opportunities here in Sweden. Your vlog has given me the new perspectives I'll thank you for that. I wish both of you a pleasant journey.

I must agree with Marie Gillander. As a Swede living just a stumble south of where she lives, in Härnösand, watching your videos i do agree we take a lot for granted!! I just take my fishing gear and camera and drive for like 20 minutes. And i am in "nomans" land by my self fishing for trout and taking pictures of whatever catches my eyes in nature. A leaf in autumn can be just as beautiful as a newborn raindeer calf taking its first steps, it is just all nature. Thank you both for sharing your films and your adventure! I will hit the subscribe button like an avalanche 😉😊 And, if you ever find your ways passing Härnösand, give me a heads up, and you will have time for loading up, and loading off all you need. BBQ with beer is promised!! Thank you for your films!! I rather much enjoy them 😃💖

As a Brit living in Sweden for 40 years I’m so glad you appreciate the beautiful nature in Sweden. I expect you’ve realized by now though that Sweden us pretty much closed as regards amenities at this time of year! But with your big van that won’t be a problem.

Please visit Sweden again in Summertime when it's warmer and greener. =) And then don't miss taking the boat over to the island Gotland, it's really beautiful there.

I live on Gotland! ❤️ Summertime is great!

8:46 Thats the road my little Town Vännäs, Nice to see some footage around Västerbotten!

It's nice to follow your journey through Sweden. I moved to Jokkmokk 1991 and have lived here since that. If you still are in the area I really recommend you to visit Jokkmokk. I don't like museums BUT the museum in Jokkmokk is different! Jokkmokk also have a lot of small restaurants, shops and lots of nice places for wild camping and nice campsites. Lot's of nice hiking trails, beautiful mountains (but you are little bit late to get the colored leaf. They are already gone and today we get som white things falling from the sky. It's a perfect day for hot coffee and editing videos. Welcome to the north! / Matti

Hi guys nice to see you looks like you are having a lovely time really like watching your videos cooper looks happy to

Just found ur channel. Ur a very lovely couple, genuin with lots of humor and heart. Like others have said....Swedens worth a visit in summertime as well. Now I´m off to backtrack ur journey thro the world :)

Love the way when Mandy is sitting on the bench and John talks to to copper and it looks like copper understands and is talking

I feel so proud when yoy show my home country to the world. I love my country and seeing that people from other countries can fall in love with it as well makes me a proud swede. It has it´s shortcomings but over all I think I was very lucky being born here and growing up and getting old (64) here. I.m happy to share my lovely Sweden with you and anyone who wants to come here and see our beautyful nature an evrything else that´s fantastic about Sweden. You should mention the swedish "Allemansrätten" though. It´s an ancient law/traditon that gives evrybody the right to enjoy nature freely. You can pick berrys or flowers as long as you don´t do it near peoples houses ot farms. But you havde the righr to visit forrests and lakes as long as you leave it in the same, or better, shape that you found it. To us who live here it´s not anything we talk about very much but having visited several other countries I know that it´s really a big privilege.

You missed two of my favorite spots in Sweden. The west coast of Bohuslän and The island of Gotland. Nice video by the way.

I'm 74 driving a small Citroen Jumpy and I am planning going North from France in 2024. Finding your posts so interesting. Can't make up my mind on best time of year.

Lost in Sweden. I wish I was! Haha. Great following your adventure. ATB, Sue x

Hey you two, make sure you try Pytt y panna. It’s the most delicious traditional Swedish hash that will blow your socks off. I lived on it for months when I worked in Halmstad many, many years ago…. And, hope you like tunnels when driving through Norway… many are at least miles long with breathtaking fjords at every turn, get ready.

The birtday of 45th is great. you look great and still young!

I worked alot in a town called Gällivare and i used to drive the road that goes to Porjus and Jokkmokk, and in the old railway station in Porjus there is a brittish couple that has a diner there with amazing food :) and driving a truck from Luleå to Kiruna i see alot of wildlife

Sorry, forgot to mention in my last comment. We lost our sailing boat "Mandolin Wind" during hurricane Irma and have decided to name our new home on wheels "Mandy" so finding your videos has really inspired us.

Absolutely stunning scenery. Great to have you guys back on the road again.

Norway 🇳🇴 is just WOW !!! The Fjords are epic.. Hope you have more luck with the Northern lights than we did tho 👎🏼 Glued to this series and what’s to come 🚐💨❤️

Such beautiful scenery everywhere you look, what a stunning place 😍

Stunning!

Wow thank you so much for a wonderful insight to Sweden.

yeah swedish autumn can be quite bone-chilling. never get used to it. Am constantly underdressed for it. Punschrulle makes up for it all🤣

your videos are never long, truly amazing scenery, all the best to both of you.

1st of all Mandy, we both wish you a belated Happy Birthday..🎂 Yet another cracking episode guys, enjoyed every minute. We loved Sweden on our trips, but I was working so couldn't wonder off piste... We're looking forward to next year when hopefully we can visit at our leisure... Looking forward to your next installment, take care, see you soon....🇸🇪👍

Hi, J .& M. Wow , what a place it looks, so so nice looking !! . &so quite. !!! Off to the article? ?? Great . Look forward to this ...

A great video. I recently found your vlog. I see you are also infected by the Sweden virus haha. We are Belgians, visited Sweden the 1st time in 2005. Immediately it felt like coming home. In 2017 we moved to the High Coast (which you seem to have missed it's spectaculair views, you'll have to come back!). No regrets what so ever!!
