Has any redditor moved to Norway or Sweden? I would like to.

I'm in Finland.

It's just next door. The cost of living is pretty high, but the pay is good if you're in tech. The people are very shy, but they warm up fast if you put in the effort.

Almost everyone speaks english, or something close enough that it's not a problem.

I really like their public transit, it's much better than it is back in Canada. The weather is pretty nice compared to back home as well, it's been above 0C pretty much the whole time, instead of the -15C average and -30C lows back home.

The only problem is the fact I haven't really seen the Sun since I arrived. They don't call it HELLsinki because it's well lit.

I'm with you. Norway, Sweden or Denmark would be good choices if you want to improve your quality of life.

I live in sweden and can say that it's alright. Stockholm is the place to be if you want to be in a semi-large city.

Public transport is excellent. I'm 33 and still don't have a driving license cuz I don't need it! =)

winters are longish and little sunlight but most people have 5-6 weeks of paid vacation and childcare benefits are great. I can stay home with most of my paycheck intact for 6 months as a new father.

I agree that tech pay is good. c'mon over dude ;)

All the cool redditors are moving to Canada.

I've been thinking about moving to Norway a lot. I learnt the language, and did school internships there. There is still a part of me that wants to fix all the wrong things with my country (France) though, and I think that moving would be giving up.

Wow! I'm so with you XzeroX. I'm actually learning swedish now. I have a swedish flag that hangs and spreads against my wall... I'm looking at it right now. I've never been out of the country, but the more I learn about Scandinavia, the more I respect it. I plan on living there/ studying there for college. I can't wait to work there, and the taxes.... don't deter me. I feel like they will go to good use... unlike the US taxes - gross.
