As we lend a hand operating the excavator in the garden and cool off in the mirror-smooth lake in the evening, things really start to take shape for us. We had actually planned to rule out Sweden in our search for a permanent home—but the magic of the Swedish summer, cozy pizza nights on the terrace, and the exciting flea market culture (“Loppis”) have us completely rethinking our plan. Although we love the free-spirited life in our van, we’re feeling the desire for a permanent home and a place of our own more and more intensely. In this video, we’ll take you on a detailed tour of Laura & André’s Swedish house, share honest thoughts about the challenges of buying and renovating a home in Sweden, and openly discuss our doubts—like the cold, dark winters and pesky mosquitoes. Could Sweden actually be the perfect country for our future? Here’s what you can expect in this video: Home tour of a Swedish house: An exclusive look inside Laura & André’s lovingly renovated home. Moving to Sweden: Honest experiences with bureaucracy, the struggles of renovating, and settling in. Everyday life in the Swedish house: From sweat-inducing yard work with an excavator to the perfect way to cool off in the lake. The search for a home base: Why van life has made us realize we want a permanent home—and why trying to rule out Sweden hasn’t worked so far. Experiencing Swedish culture: Bargain hunting at the traditional “Loppis” (flea market)—including a Dala horse and vintage scale. #sweden #swedishhouse #buyingahouse #renovation #vanlifegermany O U R J O U R N E Y - E B O O K S (Along the Pan-American Highway) O U R S H O P & B L O G https://www.chirpytravellers.com W O N T Y O U S U P P O R T T H E C H A N N E L ?
