I moved to Sweden for exchange 🇸🇪 | exploring Lund, starting classes, weekend trip to Copenhagen

My first week living in Sweden! Join me as I move from Montreal to the quaint city of Lund, explore the town, start classes and go out with new friends. On the weekend, my friends and I went on a quick trip to Copenhagen where we visited museums, ate delicious food, went to a rave, and reconnected with my cousin! It was truly a monumental week for me as I began my exchange journey and I am thrilled to be sharing my experience with you :)

Love,
Dre

I’m Swedish but it’s so interesting to see Sweden from an “outsider’s” perspective 😍

The star shaped lamps is tradition all over Scandinavia and probably western Europe, if not all. Here in Norway, most people aren’t religious and so this is just a common Xmas decoration.

Welcome to Sweden! Lund is my old uni town and it’s amazing. Trust me; just wait until spring and summer arrives. It’s SO much nicer!! Key is also to join the right nation (Malmö Nation is the best!). Have fun 🙌🏻

I'm so nostalgic about Lund University it was such a magical experience.

*New* friends is challenging in Scandinavian culture.
Try to find shared activities where you have a pretext to talk.
While other exchange students will be easy to connect with locals may take more effort then you are used to on average in order to get a friendship.
But it's absolutely doable.

You really moved here at a great time. The winters can be pretty boring and depressing but the spring and summer is the opposite, they are amazing. People come out of their shells, are full of life and happiness. Great weather and very long days so everyone is outside doing things.

I’m studying abroad in Lund next year!! Glad I came across your video while researching what’s around the area. It was suppeeerrr useful. Can’t wait to go to Sweden next school year. Your video really got me excited 😁

I’ve lived in Lund my whole life and I grew up here, very interesting seeing someone’s first time reaction hahah

Welcome to my home city! Glad you like it, then of course most do.
One little correction: In winter the sun sets as _late_ as 3:35 in Lund. After all, it IS in the far south of Sweden! In Stockholm, it sets at 2:47 pm at the winter solstice.

Brazilian music playing at 3:36 😍😍😍🇧🇷 Tim Maia!

Cheers! ✌🏼

Lund is my home town and it’s always so weird so see all of the places I see daily from other’s perspective😭❤️

[nilslindberg]

Congratulations on being able to both study and live in Lund! I´ve heard from a relative, who´s got a friend who introduces foreign students to their studies in Lund, that the foreign students are very excited before they know about the most common solution: They study in Lund but have to live in Eslöv, 10 - 14 minutes by commuting train from Lund. Eslöv has also been said to be the most boring town in the area...

Välkommen till Sverige/Skåne och Lund ❤ Glöm inte den stora festen i Stadsparken den siste april ( Sveriges kung fyller även år denna dag 🎉❤

[joannacardoso]

I have been dreaming about this. Literally and figuratively. I’ve never been abroad so my heart just keeps telling me “Scandinavia” but whenever I research, I very instinctively look into Sweden. I want to take the leap so bad! Thanks for the video :)
