🇸🇪 Sweden is full of unique traditions, rules, and quirks — and as a German-American couple, we definitely experienced some culture shocks in Sweden! Sweden known as the land of Ikea and Köttbullar, but also endless forests, thousands of islands, and, apparently, a slight obsession with cinnamon buns. From Stockholm to Gothenburg, this country is full of surprises. If you’re planning a trip to Sweden, moving there, or just curious about how Americans and Germans see Swedish culture, this video is for you. Let us know which of these shocks surprised you the most — and if you’ve ever experienced Swedish culture shocks yourself! #Sweden #CultureShock #TravelCouple #SwedenTravel #LivingInSweden #AmericanInSweden #GermanInSweden #ScandinaviaTravel #EuropeTravel #CulturalDifferences #TravelVlog
