- In this video we will talk about why Sweden is such a great country for vanlifers, camping enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys traveling. In our opinion Sweden is a #vanlifefriendly country and the infrastructure is really good here. And in some cases you can actually stay longer than one day as long as you don´t disturb anyone or leave permanent marks/damage to nature. If you'd like to hear more, watch this short video, and let us know what you think! Do you agree? Have you been to Sweden?

It will be our next destination once we can leave the country again...
Greats from Belgium
Hello there in Belgium! That sounds like a great plan! Let's hope the restrictions are lifted by the end of this year... You will love Scandinavia! Greetings from a Swedish island called Gotland to you! 🤗
😍 Your country is so beautiful.
It really is. Actually the whole Scandinavia is beautiful! We are hoping to make more videos about other countries in Scandinavia in the future. Thank you watching the video!🤗
Hi. Sweden is fabulous. I need to come back to Sweden . I once drove a “Rock & Roll “ sleeper coach from Hamburg to Oslo, and I remember the fantastic scenery up to the Norwegian bridge where you are thousands of feet ( meters ) in the air looking at all to see
Wonderful !!!😊😊😊😊😊
Oh wow! That must have been awesome! Norway have some beautiful scenery routes👌
You dont gotta convince me! I've watched enough Jonna videos to know this already lol
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
LOVE your vlogs and look forward to hearing you share your adventures and travel wisdoms. You are incredible van-life ambassadors!
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words! We are also looking forward to share mor travel-related material once we can travel again!🤗
Great detail and very interesting - thanks for sharing that. Just one question please - I don’t think you mentioned about places to empty the chemical toilet. As there is a lot of wild camping I guess that would be something worth hearing about please? Peter 👍
Glad you liked it Peter! Yes, absolutely great question! they usually have those emptying spots at campings and sometimes gas stations and also sometimes the outskirts of towns.
You just got yourselves a subscriber. Love the channel and all the value you guys share. Rock on!
Thank you so much for the support! We appreciate it! 😀👍
Lovely tribute to Balthazar, thank you for your videos, really does make me want to tour Sweden one day.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you will visit Sweden one day too! I think, you will like it here!
Another good video with lots of practical information.
I think once covid is out of the way we will have to visit ☺
Thank you very much! Yes! That sounds like a great plan!😀 We are also looking forward to this covid situation to finally being resolved and restrictions being lifted.🚌
Nice tips, guys! We would really like to travel thru this beautiful land. We hope it will be soon! Thanks for sharing this.
Our pleasure! If you get the chance you definitely should! 😃👍
thank your for those tipps, I have to visit sweden soon
You should! Glad you enjoyed them! 🤗😀
Subscribed, credit goes to your Meshuggah Cap 🤘👍🏻
Haha that's awesome, a fellow metal-head! 🤘🤘🤘 Welcome aboard! 😀
I wanna go to Sweden and rent a Van one day. Thank you for this video ❤
Such good information about Sweden! Thank you for posting. Love the ending with Balthazar eating the leaf...or should I say, not eating the leaf 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
2022 will be the year to see the north and also Finland and Norway. I've only been as far north as Borås.
Sounds like an awesome plan!😃 We are also looking forward to going to Finland! Maybe we will see you there.😉
@@Beelzebus Would be nice! My plan is to drive from germany through Denmark, Sweden and a bit of Finland to the north cape in norway and go back south along the norwegian coast, incl. Lofoten islands. Back to Denmark and Germany maybe on the road through southern Sweden again or by ferry to Hirtshals/DK.
Look out for a tiny, blue Seat Marbella... 😅🤘
@@___Steinn___ That sounds like an truly amazing route! we will be looking! =)
Great!
Thank you! 🤗
Our favourite country to explore with our van!
I am happy to hear you like traveling in Scandinavia!😀 Have you been to Norway and Finland too? Norway is so beautiful and we are really looking forward to visiting Finland in the future, as soon as this Corona situation is under control.
Well Balthazar definitely did not like that sorrel despite him willing to try ! Great footage.
Haha yeah, I bet he’d prefer a slice of ham or cheese instead of that sorrel any day.😁 Thank you!🤗
If someone is brave enough to break in, Balthazar would make a quick job of them for sure :) Also such a beautiful fotografi and camerawork! Happy for you Björne :)
Ha ha yeah he probably would have 🤣. Thank you Robert but that's all Katja 😉 im just the driver 🤗
Great video! Hope we will visit Sweden this autumn and stay for some time :)
Sounds like a good plan! It is still pretty warm during early autumn and you might get to see the northern lights too! 😉 If we are done with all our projects and can finally leave Gotland, maybe we'll be able to meet up with you guys.
@@Beelzebus sounds like a REALLY good plan :) Hope, it will happen :)
@@TheManInAVan-EgorIlyankov one day it will! 🤗
Tack så mycket 💚💚🇸🇪
Thank you for watching!🤗
Wonderful society full of social freedoms,which we do not have in the UK well done for making your life a adventure.As the bumper sticker says keep on rolling love from Wales
Yes! Keep on rolling!😁👍🚌 Thank you! What, in your opinion, are the biggest differences between Sweden and the UK regarding traveling? We hope to visit the UK one day in the future, Björn’s uncle lives in England, so we even have relatives there and friends in Scotland that we would like to visit one day. But we know nothing about the laws and traveling within the country.
Well it is all going away slowly but surely!
Sweden was our plan for 2020, now we will see if it works this year. If not then next year... looking forward to this journey!
That is a great plan! Sweden has so much to offer, I am sure you will enjoy your trip!🤗 Hopefully the situation with traveling with resolve itself by this summer.🤞
Hi dear guys! ...Full set of the crew... Good reasons to want to visit Sweden. Your mushrooms were attractive) as well as the autumn views. The Nothern lights worth watching 100%, that might be the goal of a trip and that's my dream.
Yes, we have a couple more videos with Balthazar planned in the future, but very soon we will run out of that material and have to continue filming without him. The Northern lights is a good goal and dream. Then, if you decided to visit Scandinavia again, you could go in late August-September, while it’s still warm but the nights are clear and dark, so you can see the lights. Plus you get to pick mushrooms too.😁
@@Beelzebus ...I will)!
Good info! Only hope Sweden doesn't get too popular now 😉
Hahaha 😁😁😁 Thank you!
Once the virus is gone, i'll definitely go to sweden and hope to experice "camping" at least once before i go back to my country again 😊😊
That sounds like a good idea! Sweden is great but we like the north a little extra so we recommend you head up there and explore 😉😀
Sounds great..just need to figure out how to get my van there..lol. 😁👍
Haha yeah, that might be a bit difficult and probably expensive. If you ever decide to do something like that, then you should definitely stay here for a while, so you have time to travel all over Europe.
There are also quite many rv rental services here, but they can be pretty expensive. It will be probably cheaper shipping the van and staying over a longer period of time.🧐
@@Beelzebus Guess it'll have to go on the bucket list for now 😁👍
We want to goooooo...
Hopefully we all can start traveling sooooon!😁🚌🤗
Awesome vid / clips :) Now... how to get my big rig to Sweden??
Thanks!! Hahaha maybe you can take a ferry??? 😁😁 It's the same for us. We hope to visit Canada and Alaska one day.. So, I guess, maybe we can meet up somewhere halfway?😁
We spent a week in southern Sweden three years ago & loved it so much we were going to come back for a month+ last summer but guess what happened next! bl**dy Covid. Maybe this year but no solid plans as yet. 👍 Oh & crossing those bridges was both scary & amazing as we had gale force winds both ways!
Yeah covid is the worst! just wait it out then go again 😉. Yeah the öresundsbridge is pretty impressive 😃 yeah it can be some scary winds upp there 😅
Ive lived in the south of Stockholm in my van for three years now, my lock was broken the first year, fixed it now, but don't ever use it since then 😂
Coolers! That´s great to hear! Hope you won´t have a reason to 😉
Great video. Would love to do the same. However living in and around Göteborg you definitely always lock your doors. Streets are not safe. Lots of crime in this area. You do well not walking home alone at night. I’ve cleared up fights and brawls quite often. I’ve been attacked on open street with lots of people around (to the detriment of the attacker).
Thank you! Wow that sounds horrible not to be able to feel safe like that😰. very sad to hear that. Hope you´re allright though!?
Hi guys. This is a great video and your country is incredibly beautiful! I wanted to ask. If I traveled to Sweden for work and received a resident and working permit, would I be able to ride around and park my motorhome as a non-citizen? I would not want to break any Swedish laws. Also, if I was to get an apartment, where would I park the motorhome? Are there laws against having a motorhome near your dwelling due to the roads being smaller than the roads here in American? I'd appreciate any help you two could provide. Thank you for your time and great videos.
Hi Noah! Yes it´s allowed for anyone in Sweden to do so.👍 as long as you adhere to the allemansrätten which usually means that you should move the vehicle every 24 hours if not allowed to stay longer. About parking, most of the places you´re allowed to park a motorhome it doesn´t matter if it´s close to your apartment. The roads might be smaller but they are more than enough for most vehicles even motorhomes.👍🤗 I hope this help you somewhat or is there anything else you wonder about? 🤗
@@Beelzebus Hej. (I'm trying to practice the Swedish language). Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to answer my questions. So, this would mean that I'd be ok with parking in the motorhome camping areas and near residential areas as long as I adhere to the laws of Allemansrätten? No more than 24 hours unless I'm allowed to stay longer. Thank you for that. One more follow up question. While living in the motorhome, are there any laundry areas in Stockholm, Sweden where I'd be able to wash clothes? Thank you again for all of your help.
@@noahlomax1 Np =) laundromats are not so common in Sweden we haven´t really tried finding any so far. But most campings have a washing machine you can use for free sometimes other times 2-5$ we have been using those options since we stay at campsites for time to time.
@@Beelzebus Thank you again. One last question. Is the campsite free or do you need to pay a fee for the campsite and then pay for the laundry as well? Thank you for your help.
@@noahlomax1 it's free in some places and on some campings you'll have to pay 🤗
What would your advice be for someone who dreams of van life in Sweden?
Start by getting a vehicle that you feel could be your first van/adventure car and start traveling and get a feel for it. 🤗
Remember that your first vehicle doesn´t have to be perfect so if you don´t want to spend a lot of time on perfecting it don´t because as you travel in it you will learn what you want/need and it´s hard to get everything right the first time so don´t get hung up on building the perfect van at once. Instead focus on getting a good vehicle and do a through maintenance so you can trust it and maybe make sure you have a good insurance so you don´t have to worry about a breakdown and can enjoy the journey instead of worrying. Plan a short first trip as a test and just go exploring! Hope this helped that´s what we did when we started traveling 🤗👍
Hope to see you one the road one day! drive safe!
🫣Thank you so much yes its so helpfull☺️
Cool! Men jag visste faktiskt inte att det är tidsbegränsat 24 tim?!
Har för mej att jag läste nån pdf från naturvårdsverket där det stod att man har rätt att tälta/campa i naturen ett eller några
enstaka dygn på samma plats men helst inte längre. kanske är för att man inta skall störa någon men om man är mer avskilt så kan man stanna längre självklart.
Ok
Allemansrätten omfattar inte fordon och bara för att klargöra. Vatten är oftast gratis på bensinstationer men i somras uppe i norr var dom inte glada på en del ställen att folk kom dit och snyltade vatten. Som vanligt, handla lite kaffe, godis etc. och fråga snällt i kassan om det är okej att ta vatten.
Kul video.
@@MECamping Jepp, håller med dig helt.👍 Det är ju sunt förnuft. Vi brukar inte ens låna toa på mackar utan att köpa en kaffi och vi fyller på vatten oftast i samband med att vi tankar vår buss för ett par tusenlappar då vi har en stor tank på 200L.🙈 Vi har spenderat nästan ett halft år sammanlagt uppe i norr och har aldrig märkt något sånt men jag kan tänka mig att folk "snyltar" ibland. Tråkigt att de var inte glada på er men även om man inte köper något någon gång ska man komma ihåg att det också en service. En gång fyller man på vatten utan att köpa något (fast vi aldrig gör det), nästa gång tankar man sin bil för ett par hundralappar eller mer. :) Kul att ni tittade på vår video! Tack!🤗
That dog could pull the van if it got stuck.
Ha ha ha yeah he was very strong! 😉
We want to come to Sweden as part of a Scandinavia trip when we are allowed to come in without quarantine.
Why is this you tube video flashing every 5 seconds?? Is it something to do with the subtitles. The flashing was very distracting so we stopped watching and just listened.
Sounds like a good plan! All Scandinavian countries have a lot to offer and are beautiful and unique in the own way. We are also looking forward to the quarantine being lifted...
What tube video? I don’t think we’ve added subtitle for this video yet... I just double checked and scrolled thought the video and didn’t see any flashing? Could you please explain what was the problem so we can fix it?? Thank you in advance.
@@Beelzebus Thanks for getting back to me. We spent the evening last catching up on all our youtube subscription content and the viewing experience on the other videos we watched was fine. Your video when we watched it had subtitles on in English and every 5 seconds when the subtitles refreshed the screen flashed black for a millisecond. It might just have been a problem at our end if no one else has complained to you about it. We have watched a few of your other videos and not had the problem previously. PS Your lofoten videos look great. We are both sea kayakers and hikers so really look forward to that trip one day. Oh and Kudos to you for fixing your own diesel pump when the garage took all your money and let you down by not finishing the repair they started. Good job
@@chrissaunders88 Thank you so much for taking your time and answering us!:) I've deleted the auto-generated subtitles and added proper subtitles instead today. I am not sure what the problem was, but hopefully it's resolved itself now. Thank you so much for checking out our videos an your kind words! Haha yeah, at least the guy was kind and gave us his pump so we could leave that parking lot at go back to the town Björn was working at. But, yeah, Björn had to fix the pump himself in the end. If you enjoy sea kayaking, then kayaking in Lofoten fjords is definitely something we would recommend you doing one day! Oh, especially hwen the weather is good, and there's no wind and the mountains are reflection in the water! You will love it! The mountains there are very impressive!
Sorry but you forgot some important information. You are not allowed to drive offroad in Sweden. You are not allowed to drive off the road to camp one night. You are allowed to put a tent but you are not allowed to damage any things.
Hi Hubert!
This video was more thought as why Sweden is a nice country for vanlife, not really about the parking rules and regulations. Thank you for your comment we are sure that some people will find it useful, although we do think not driving offroad and destroying nature is kind of common sense. 🤗👍 Cheers!
@@Beelzebus Well, I hope you are right, but you can be misunderstood as "Allemanansrätten" does not include campervans and one is not allowed to park everywhere in the "wilderness" for 24 hrs as you implied in the video. During low season a lot is tolerated but unfortunately, now as the number of vanlifers have grown so much local restrictions increase every year, partly due to many vanlifers disrespecting general laws. It's a pity as it makes life harder for all of us 😞...
Yuo don't allowe tolet yuor dog go with out leash from Mars 1 - August 20
Yuo had tof ollow the rules for the allemansrätten !
Pleace again update the rules
In this time 1Mars - 20August
The vild animals have babies.
Pleace It is our DUTY to know all of them

@@Beelzebus Yes, it is actually a great feeling 😂
