I'm in Sweden! 🇸🇪 My first week back home (vlog)
After 4 years of not being home I am finally home! Follow along in this messy vlog of my first week in Sweden! I had time to visit family, play in the snow, catch up with my cat Chris and just enjoy being in my home country on the quiet countryside of Southern Sweden.
In this video I show you my grandparent's farm - where we're staying - and what we've been up to. I go through my grandmother's closet and do some minimalist shopping, and my favorite part of this vlog - trying out the Swedish national dress! It's my grandmother's old dress and it's absolutely beautiful!
I hope you like this video ❤️

Never forget where you’re from, beautiful elf girl ❤ Charge some energy from home, before the journey continues. Follow you inner compass! You’re inspiring!
Such a beautiful place! The traditional clothes and sweaters look wonderful too! :) Love watching your comforting videos and views. Always glad to see how passionate, happy and kind you are. Sending you, your cat and your family lots of love from Brazil ❤
Oh so happy to hear it ❤ Thank you! That is so sweet!
🌻 Welcome! Your channel is a soothing journey into the beauty of slowing down, cherishing moments, and creating a cozy home. Excited to embrace the quiet tales with you! 🏡💕 #SlowLiving #CozyHomeJourney
Thanks for showing us Sweden & where your grandmother lived and your beautiful cat. Loved seeing the clothes & traditional costume. Must learn how to knit socks like your grandmother - a wonderful skill to have. I’ve just decluttered most of my synthetic clothes & doing Swedish death cleaning in Australia. Getting used to mor silence & listening to the birds in the mornings instead of the radio & haven’t watched TV since December 2022 except for occasionally watching on ipad prefererring to see other cultures especially European where my ancestors are from. My daughter did her dna & it showed Scandinavian in our ancestry. I guess Germany Poland & England being close to Scandinavia it’s entirely possible. So far have found eight nationalities in my ancestry. Looking forward to seeing more of Sweden & Europe in your videos. Seeing how other people live opens up the world for better connections.
I certainly agree with you about the noise. Asia in particular. 🙂... As I get older I appreciate QUIET so much. Such a beautiful cat.
Right! And same, silence is one of the most important things to me. Chris says thank you
6:41 I have a familiar experience, when I come to see through someone else's clothes, it's so pleasant. So much respect you show. (I remember that I have a dead friend of mine, and my mom donated me some of his clothes, so I couldn't even hold one of his t-shirts without crying, which was so healing). 8:02 Nice to stay so close to family. I really enjoy the gratitude and clarity you radiate.
Thank you ❤️
This house and the whole atmosphere is so peaceful. Very beautiful clothes, and it’s so nice to realize all the richness of its history. Welcome back home and look forward to your vlogs from Sweden 💕
Thanks so much 💕
On occasion, the Swedish community dresses in the old ways. Here in Vancouver,B.C.,Canada I would love that. I’m Swedish on my dad’s side.
Wow, that's so cool! Maybe we're related :D
@@SagaJohanna that’s possible. Most Swedes are related through king Gustav 1.
Thanks for sharing, the traditional Swedish outfit is gorgeous and your rock it!
Aw thanks so much!
So happy for you to be home and with family. There is so much peace when we go home. I always go home to have a reset. I grew up in the country in Oklahoma, USA. I lived on a farm and in a two-story log cabin where we harvested almost all of our own food. Now, we live in south Florida and it is so loud and definetely not the same mentality. Take time to reset and good luck on your house hunt.
Oh that sounds so lovely! 💕
Oh, I loved this video so much! The outdoor surroundings and the snow-so breathtaking. It must have been such an experience growing up in such an awesome place. I love the group ABBA and just discovered their music, 45 years later, and knowing they’re from Sweden made this video even more interesting for me. Wishing you and your partner all best on your new journey! Hope you’ll share more videos on Sweden 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! The snow makes it so beautiful! Thank you :) I will!
So sweet. Enjoy your stay and I look forward to more videos. Since I am Swedish American, I have some cloth with little people printed on it, they are wearing traditional clothing like that. It was just what I expected, especially red, blue, and yellow.
Thank you! :) Oh that is so cool!
Thanks so much for this beautiful video. It looks like a magical place and your sweet kitty is just precious. He must be so happy to have you back with him.
You are so kind, thank you Susan
wow! Sweden looks so beautiful and i loved seeing all the awesome traditional Swedish dress. Thanks as always for the video! 😊
Thank you ❤️❤️
@@SagaJohanna 🏵🌻
Very happy for you. You seem at peace. Nothing better than returning home.
Thank you! That is so nice of you.
So nice to see you happy and excited about your family, adorable cat and home.Love your grandmother's clothes; the traditional outfit really suits you. Do you have something Swedish for your husband to wear? Good luck to you!
Thank you so much! No, we’ve never had the male outfit in my family but maybe I can find one second hand. Haha!
Meant to ask you about the availability of vegan food in your area. Are there any places you can eat or buy vegan stuff? Thanks.
Hej, I am glad to hear you are in Sweden. I wish you the best on your trip. I live in Sweden so I miss my nieces so much. I'm waiting for July, the end of the study period to come back home and visit my family as well.
Thank you so much ❤ Oh, I wish you get to see her soon!
So beautiful, thank you so much for sharing. I miss Sweden 🇸🇪 too. For me it is 5 years since I left my homecountry. Blessings 💕Aloha from Hawaii 🌺
Thank you ❤️ oh wow! That sounds lovely!
The traditional Swedish costume is beautiful! And you look so Swedish in it! Lol This is one of my favorite videos of yours. It’s such an intimate glimpse into where you’re from.
Thank you haha :D
You look so pretty saga in that costume it looks good on you
Thank you :)
Love the costume and will follow you further in Sweden. Your cat is similar to the one we had a few years ago but yours will meow in Swedish. Tack tack.
Thank you so much Adrian!
I stll miss my grandmother and now I am the grandparent!😂😂
Welcome home
Thank you!
Hej, tack for sharing! WELCOME HOME! I love the outfit at the 4:15. The farm looks so gorgeous, especially with the snow. Why are the pillows at the bottom of the bed? How are you and your husband dealing with a little snow? Have a great week! kram
Thank you so much
Saga, you have like super museum nice house. Tack sumi keat...😊
Haha yes, it's my grandparents! :) Thank you!
Interesting video!👍 I never would have thought it was a traditional Swedish outfit. And you have a very special interior, calm natural colors. Are these typical colors of a Swedish interior?
Thank you! :) It is my grandparents house and they haven't changed it really in 40 years, so it's typical of that time period, but these days it's much more white :)
@@SagaJohanna In some countries, gray colors of furniture and walls are in trend now, and it looks depressing. In your country, people make a good choice of colors for the interior, both before and now. It is not for nothing that Scandinavian style has been popular all over the world for so many years!😉
Quiet is good.
💕
Tillbaka i gamla goda Sverige. Välkommen!
Tack!
Välkommen hem :)
Tack! Är du i Malmö? :) Hade varit kul att ses!
Hej! I'm glad you're back, are you here to stay?🥰
Hej! Only for a while is the plan ❤ But staying in Europe.
@@SagaJohanna ❤️
I too knit socks so warm and hard wearing
So great! I really want to learn :)
@5:35 okay, so _that's_ me!
haha what! :)
you look gorgeous on that dress
Thank you so much ❤ Only for a few months! Planning on moving a bit further south!
You look beautiful in your great mothers clothes
Thank you so much :)
Sweden has changed a lot the last 4 years. Take care and don't leave home at nights because of all violence.
Haha I do not have any neighbours so leaving at night is no problem :) Only deer and hares on the fields!
where do you get the ideas
Haha what ideas? :)
