Hope Tia is feeling better! Dining on cold mashed potatoes, cold meatballs, and cold moose while sitting on cold concrete in front of a frozen body of water without complaining --- that's hardcore. You two are the best! Such a picturesque video.
The guy in the end said "Is it ok if I take a picture while you guys are sitting there?" amazing video.
you're being creative with your budget and still finding the ability to explore local culture and customs - impressive work and enjoyable to see your adventures!
I know that this is an odd comment but I think you are one of the most romantic couples I've seen. How attentive Cheveo is with Tia and her scarf. I love seeing her out of her comfort zone at the Sheraton with the anti-food waste app - which is something you both should be proud of doing. I wish more people would do this and not feel any shame. One of the most romantic scenes braving the cold while eating your meals together and just enjoying nature. I know it would be great if you had more money to spend but I don't feel like this segment was chaotic; it was just very natural. In the social media age where everything seems over-produced, you are winning over some of us who are jaded and disgusted with excess when it comes to travel.
Love Stockholm. Please go back in summer too and spend some time. Beautiful with lots of forest walks and lakes close by!
'too good to go' sounds like an amazing idea, good find :)
18:20 , lingonberry
don't forget swedish pancakes (crepes).
More authentic old-world European winter charm - loving it!
Food wastage is a pet peeve of mine so great to see a program that benefits those doing it tougher/on a tight budget.
Enjoy seeing your budget-wise vlogs that show you how to travel on a shoestring even to the more expensive countries so don’t think they’re not informative and appreciated - just keep doing you!
Feel better Tia - it sucks being so unwell while travelling in a foreign country - Cheveyo is so caring and supportive!
Then you should watch a video fromRøros, Norway, this is Winter Wonderland!. Stockholm was average.
The video was not a mess! It was informative, funny, scenic and friendly. Thanks once again, Tia and Cheveo.
Glad to have you here visiting :)
Where you bought the meatballs is called "Östermalms hallen" and thats in the poshest part of town called Östermalm, where most things are pretty expensive since most people who live there have a higher income then the other neighborhoods in town.
I do think its a bit sad that you came here during the winter, because Stockholm or the south part of Sweden is kind of boring during the winter compared to the summer since i feel like you are more limited during the winter here with activitys and so on, compared to the North of Sweden where you can go snowmobiling, or skiiing and those kinds of winter activitys.
During the summer, thats when Stockholm and the south really comes alive and its daylight almost like 19h/24h of the day. Sweden in the summers are AMAZING. People are very active in the city at resturants, bars, clubs and there is events and stuff almost everyday like small festivals and stuff. You can go by boat into the archipelago and visit the island towns there. Go to the beach or bathing from the cliffs and so on, its really nice :)
One other cool thing that i like to do during the summer is visitning the castles around Sweden, like Skokloster Castle or maybe Stora Sundby Castle since im a big history nerd i love those kinds of trips, and its a very unique part and heritge of Sweden and Europe i think people should take time to visit. 😃
everyone needs a Tia ans Cheveyo in their lives , thanks for sharing your adventures and wonderful personalities with us .
I really you come back during the summertime some time, it is beyond beautiful then
No wonder the 7/Eleven was fancy, it was the one in Östermalm, the most expensive neighbourhood in Stockholm :)
Fun video! Stockholm looks really pretty. I wonder if the Scandinavians put extra emphasis on making sure their cities aren't dreary in the winter because it lasts so long there.
Where you guys felt chaos, I saw a wonderfully frugal day spent wondering around in love ❤❤
Jam of Berries are Lingonberry . From Wikipedia: Vaccinium vitis-idaea, the lingonberry, partridgeberry, mountain cranberry or cowberry,
Welcome to my hometown and enjoy! You should come here in summer, you're gonna love it. There is so much to do and see and take the boat out in the archipelago. That's something you never will forget or regret.
Glad you still enjoyed Sweden despite it being winter and Tia starting off being sick. As some have commented already regarding the alcohol in public., Yes, it is illegal "within the City limits" , but if you're an adult, behaving, police generally will not bother you. Especially a "folk"-beer as the ones you got. (weaker, at 3.5%, allowed to be sold in general stores).
Hopefully you get to revisit in the summer now that you have a reference point in the wintertime!
Oh and yeah, that guy politely asked if it was OK to take a picture with you sitting there :)
Good luck on future travels guys, you're awesome!
Most seem to need for read up on alcohol rules in Sweden..
The illegal part is more complicated than a general ban it is rather the opposite. You are allowed to drink alcohol in public areas. Every district (kommun in Swedish) set their own rules and hours so for example it is allowed to open up wine or other stronger spirits in more places than not, there are rather exceptions where you are not allowed.
So they would have been fine even with stronger drinks than 3,5
7/11 is one of the most pricey stores in all of Sweden, not recommended if you're traveling on a budget 😁
As an Australian, I find it so mind blowing seeing people walking on the lake behind you!!
It’s not actually a fresh water lake it’s part of the Sea Harbour. Which makes even crazier it’s that cold.
@@mickj9496 ok- that truly is mind blowing!!! I can’t wrap my head around the idea of such a large area of water actually freezing over!
Makes for great shortcuts! Just skate to the other side.
This was great! I actually enjoyed the realistic budgeting while traveling and being creative with it. It wasn’t a “mess” at all. ❤
ITs nice to have tourists in this bad season. You will find a whole other Stockholm in the summer
LOL, 2:53. Can't even tell you how many times I've been to that Sci-Fi book shop, I'm from Finland but been to Stockholm more times than I've been to the neighboring town from where I live. I must have been on the Silja cruise ships to Stockholm over 100 times. 😄
Too good to go is an awesome app . I love the idea and it definitely helps minimize all the waste from hotels . I've tried it in Vancouver Canada and it's been pretty good ! You get to try varieties of food that you may not have chosen yourself
So sweet that someone wanted a photo of the two of you :D
You two are such troupers picnicking in the cold (withTia under the weather). Didn’t know it was so pricey in Scandinavia so your videos were a good eye opener. Take care of yourselves. You don’t need to overdo it with the vlogs.
Hi! One of the great things about Stockholm is that you are always close to a waterfront with magnificent views.
Ya know, if you hadn't warned us about the "art", I wouldn't have noticed it. Really enjoyed this un - kind of free style of you and it came across as really relaxed. Nice one.
Sitting on the dock of the bay, picnic munching on a $6 box of food, frozen bottoms, wisps of snow falling, what's not to like, you did well Tia !
Stockholm is one of our favorite cities in Europe! We enjoyed Cheveyo for scale this time. 😂 Feel better, Tia!
The cookie were small and Tia was sick, so it makes sense she needed 2 :)
I see that you are in the 'Old Town', and i think where you guys stopped was in 'Marten Trotzigs Grand', kinda famous for being the narrowest alley in all of the Old Town.
Tia! You need to let Cheveyo take care of you ;) (i think he is right about the scarf!!).
Having visited Stockholm also on a budget as a broke uni student staying in a youth hostel, it was fascinating to see it in winter - thanks so much for taking me back! X
Thank you for the video & information. We traveled to Stockholm a few years back & only for a few days. Watching this makes us want to come back for a longer visit- such a beautiful city. Remembering that it didn’t get very dark at night. Big cheers from Melbourne 🍷!
You guys are so fantastic!! Stay warm- & Tia, please let Cheveyo fuss over you when you’re unwell 😘😘😘
I agree with others, no need to worry about how your video came across. It is still interesting and plenty of smiles/chuckles at this end 😊
Hope Tia continues to feel better. Look forward to your next adventure. Travel safe ❤
summer in Scandinavian is beautiful, especially in the North, then you can choose to have daylight 24hours. It's great.
U guys are so down to earth, what a lovely couple! Glad I found your channel. I am from Copenhagen and loved that video!!
That big white boat is the af Chapman. Back in 1990, when I was backpacking, it was a youth hostel (and it may still be). A great experience to actually sleep on the boat at night and drink beers on the deck after a day of walking around the town.
Thanks Cheveyo & Tia for making a video in Stockholm! CZcams showed me your videos on the Home Page!
I hope that you'd visit Oslo and Helsinki one day.
😊👍 Thank you for the laughs and smiles!
Loved this video. You are so authentic! Love how you just take us along for the journey and go with the flow, that is what exploration & travel is. Enjoy the Nordics!
Nice to see you enjoying my hometown! If you're still here Tia should definitely try a "semla" a seasonal bun with cream and almonds - and buy some of the pick and mix lollies! Classics 😋
YES i would love to see her face when she eats it considering how she glowed when she ate pepparkakan (gingerbread cookie) 😁
It's stupid wonderful how much you both Love & Adore
one another, gives me Hope for finding that... again!
Travel well and safe.
You poor darling!😢 Get better soon, Tia. We love your videos all the time. You two are such sweeties. 🥰
That was one of my favorite videos, creative and captured the spirit of the city. Poor Tia still seemed under the weather but I enjoyed this one a lot. Great job guys. ❤
Meatballs with mash, brown sauce and lingo berry jam literally is our national dish.
No offense taken! ^^
It's soo good!
Lingon
You're both very entertaining, and I love your take on every place you go. Safe travels ❤
The vid wasn’t a mess, it was beautiful. You guys are great
I hope Tia feels better very soon, and I just wanted to say - You guys rock!! I love watching your stories - they are a part of my life, nearly every day - So thank you for all your work and travel - I know you enjoy it, but understand that it can be difficult to deal with. I just wanted you to know, there is at least a couple of South Aussies cheering you on! Go you good things!!
Enjoyed the video a lot, wishing Tia is much better, watching from Puerto Rico.
Wet my appetite to go there, looks a really nice European type of City, definitely will not go in Winter 👌
Thanks
Love following your travels but been an Aussie I find it hard to believe a city could be that icy & cold, so more then happy to sit here in the Air con. and watch you guys freeze. Take care.
Was there just last week. We also stayed in Gamla Stan and has snow and freezing weather. Didn’t notice TGIFRIDAY. Because of the freezing weather we mostly did museums and other indoor things. Which meant that we mostly had nowhere to go after 4 pm. The fact that you’re sitting outside on the frozen ground makes me feel cold.
That glögg is most likely non-alcoholic, or with a low abv. Swedish alcohol laws are quite strict and prevent selling take away booze on the street :) Too bad there was no Malmö episode, that city is awesome.
You two rock for always making an effort, possibly future travel catch, and cook could be an option.
the jam goes over the meatballs/elg/rendeer.
Wonderful video , i loved it , i hope Tia feeling better , the weather there rather nippy there and the damp feeliing not conducive for easing the sniiffles , do keep warm and dry as often as you can , dynamic duo
10:12 Unlike the German language, Swedish doesn't have "umlaut" but three extra letters in the alphabet: åÅ (aa), äÄ (ae), öÖ (oe). These are placed after Z. Å is a hard vowel, ä & ö are soft vowels.
That $6 buffet brunch looked like excellent value :-)
The video isn’t a mess! I enjoyed it a lot ✌🏽
Stockholm is so pretty! Sorry to hear that Tia got sick, but great to see you having a good time in Sweden :) If you have the chance, I can recommend checking out Södermalm, it's a bit of a hippie area.
As for whether you are allowed to drink in public - it's not allowed to do it in school, playground or cemetery areas. If you look up "alkoholförbud i Stockholms stad" you will find a map of where it is not allowed to drink in Stockholm. But anyway, worst case scenario would likely be that they'd just confiscate it. This rule generally can be different from municipality to municipality, in Malmö it is allowed as long as you are not disturbing others.
Oh and yeah, if you go to a Swedish supermarket, there'll be an entire aisle of candy like the one you saw in the 7 eleven, except bigger. Swedes really love candy :D
wholeheartedly agree on sampling sweets. my roots in a small nearby country taught me words I'll always cherish, olabola (fruit ball) and letterbanket (almond paste).
And buying a beer at 7 Eleven in Sweden might not be considered buying alcohol.
There's also plenty of candy stores too. The chain store Kandyz has like a thousand different types of candies
you guys are such a cool vibe.
Your such a great couple, soo pleasant to see.
Much love from Germany ❤️
Great vide!.You have developed a style that is so fun to watch. A fun reality show that try's to take it self seriously, and fails at it in the most fun ways. All with clever and creative production qualities. Also show me another travel blog couple that goes to Sweden in the winter LOL.
Welcome to Sweden guys. I been follow you for years, cool you now up here in north and Sweden.Yes thevguy ask if its okey he take a picture of you sitting by the sea👍 Have a great time quick recovery Tia and enjoy The northen light 👍
Great to see your experience during winter in Stockholm. But I need to echo that you should really visit in summer as well. A lot more greenery, a lot more activity and a lot more things to do and experience.
There is a saying that Swedes go into hibernation mode during winter so you'll get a lot more smiles and interactions during summer (as Swedes are lizard people that get energy while sun bathing in the sun)
Oh, so much fun to see you guys in my home town! I found your channel a year ago when I was looking for videos from Taipei. You were in Taiwan just a few weeks before I went there. Thanks for the inspiration!
Brave to go on a picnic this time of year.. 😂 please come back in the middle of summer when the weather is nice. Cheers!
Lovely to see you doing something totally different from thailand, bali , cambodia, vietnam etc. its very HOT in Oz so its nice to see the complete extreme. Enjoy!!😊
Depends where you are in Oz. It's a big place
Darwin and Hobart have quite different climates
Thanks for doing a video while not feeling the best. I barely wanna get out of bed personally
Well I had a giggle Thanks again guys for an informative Video. I hope Tia is feeling better. Cheers, Muffy from Oz... Ps. 30 degrees Celsius here ... just saying.
So jealous of that 30c. What part of Aus is that?
I just found you through my recommendations. Love your vibe, instant sub.
I didn’t think the video was a mess. It was an authentic experience and a real travel video. Really want to visit Stockholm and it was really informative. Just stumbled onto your channel and I will be sticking with you. Reminds me of my husband and I when we were younger traveling with little money. It made me smile.
The places where you're not allowed to drink alcohol in public in Stockholm are marked. For instance if you had turned the other way where you had the lookout spot with the "art" in the snow you would have seen a park where the sign on the park gate tells you that you're not allowed to drink alcohol in that particular spot. These places are pretty rare and there aren't any on the island below the lookout spot where you sat to eat.
I enjoyed it. Hope you’re feeling better Tia. Stockholm looks beautiful. I only made it as far north as Denmark so definitely keen to return.
08:45 That is such a great deal ! Especially when you compare it to a $7 coffee in Copenhagen lol
Lingonberry jam perhaps
Hi you two absolutely lovely people ❤️❤️ I always love your content .. I’m following your Scandinavian tour with interest because I’m visiting those cities next June.. hope Tia is feeling better .. an Aussie
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks
You should really have come during summer, its like night and day..
Great video, try to explore summer in Stockholm ❤❤❤
@20:09 I don't think the video was a mess. I actually prefer videos like this where you can explore a new country and culture on a very limited budget. It makes the world seem that much more accessible.
Most of us don't have the money to spend on five-star resorts. Most travel CZcamsr's don't have that kind of money either. They can only stay in those places because they cut deals with the management to stay for free in return for being featured in a video, and often fail to mention that fact to the viewers.
Love the video and I'm taking notes 😂
I'm Aussie and just did Germany , Switzerland ( mega $$) , France and UK over Christmas and am now in the planning stages for Scandanvia in 2025/26. I really want to go in winter ( maybe to avoid the heat of the Western Australian summer) , so seeing you guys doing it in winter is awesome. I'm kinda hopeful accommodation is cheaper in winter 🤣
The meatballs and mash you bought must be heated in the microwave. But it's possible to eat as you did, but if you had heated it, it would have tasted 1000 times better =) The red is lingonberry, it's insanely good to have with the mash and the meatballs.
We went home and heated it up. Much, much better 😊
Nice video 😁Sweden is horrible in winter🥶nice in summer😊
🤣🤣 I'm sorry but it was so funny when you walked into shot and Tia was swinging the bag of leftovers. Haha it's 5 o'clock somewhere. I ate your cookie 😉. haha I didn't notice the "artwork" until you pointed it out. Enjoyed the video. I really want to go to Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
Still a brilliant video!!
Nice with the breakfast, I will have to try that one day.
Norway next? ;) ;)
Greetings from Copenhagen. You guys are so sweet 🙂
The jam was supposed to go on the meatballs I believe.
I love Stockholm, it's so charming and beautiful. And glögg is the best, and anything lingonberry is my favorite flavor in the world. I've never had lingonberry glögg, I need to look for that vendor the next time I'm there! The meatballs in brown sauce with lingonberry jam really is a traditional Swedish meal! My friends usually eat them over egg noodles, but mashed potatoes sounds even better.
I saw Cheveyo in Malmö but by the time I parked I couldn't find you to say hi! But I live in Sydney for half the year so maybe you can do a meet-up next time.
That breakfast idea is genius Tia will be sure to do it - utterly brilliant! How do you find these things?
Nice video, please come to Helsinki next! 🤩
Östermalmshallen is not the place to go when on a budget. Östermalm is the posh area in Stockholm.
Love from Sweden ❤🇸🇪
This was a very nice video! Btw glögg would be pronounced kinda like glug in english. ö kind makes an "uh" sound like the u in nut.
Too bad u was'nt visiting during the summer instead.
Then the window of 6 hours of daylight would increased to 16 hours !!
Liked your video... and you're welcome back !
Appreciate you alls ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
