Tips and Advice on Sweden from Your Fellow New Zealand Expats

Obviously, expat life in Sweden goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow New Zealanders is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Swedish mentality and way of life. New Zealanders in Sweden are a part of our community, calling cities such as Goteborg, Uppsala, Stockholm, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow New Zealanders in Stockholm, for example.

Wondering where to shop for New Zealand delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Swedish InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from New Zealand.
  • On the Sweden Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get pavlova in Stockholm, etc.
