As a Swede, I want to emphasize that most Swedes are genuinely kind, warm and good-hearted people. While they may come across as cold, they are simply a bit shy and reserved.🙂
Thank you ❤️ and you're right we met so many amazing people here ☺️
Well, a lot of turist also do a lot of shitty things and don't try to understand swedish culture and can end up being a bit entitled.
A lot of foreign don't understand the freedom of roam rule in sweden and think its a right/privilege but its actually a obligation/duty. And if you don't do your obligations according to the rules you have lost your rights and you can be fined or have to leave because you are not doing your dutys. When this reality hits a lot of foreigners that exploits freedom to raom without understaning it - they (the wrongdoers/foreigners) ends up with an false victimhood perspective.
And in these cases... well the anger from the Swedes are understandable...
He knows that but he wouldn´t all the naive Swedes coming here and increasing his interaction if he would´ve gone with the truth. As a Swede I´m saddened that most of us fall for media trickery time and time again.
Maybe it was in your interest that the van was burnt down?
I googled it, it was an accident. The owner put on the heater and went for a walk with the dog, and when he came back it was on fire.
Wow that's really sad for them but also glad nobody was hurt 🙏
Suspected as much. I see no reason for anyone to burn someone's van down out in the middle of nowhere. But I understand them feeling cautious when they didn't know what happened.
@@TravelTalesVlogsIf you google "Larm om husbil som brinner vid sjön Svarten" you will find a tweet from the newspaper Hallands Nyheter about it (in Swedish) and an image of the burning camper van. Seems to have happened April 29th 2024.
@@TravelTalesVlogs A good reminder to you guys also. Do not leave for too long with the heater on.
@@Mortac Foreign media likes to write about the recent gang related issues in Sweden (which is a serious issue, and needs to be resolved), this paints the picture of Sweden as a whole essentially being in flames, which isn't true. To put it into perspective, I don't judge California for the shootings and crimes happening in Detroit.
Only three types of snakes in Sweden. You have the Snok (Grass Snake) which is very common (featured in your videos) and is not venomous and it prefers to hang out close to water sources, usually dark with with white spots behind the head, secondly you have Hasselsnok (Smooth Snake) also not venomous and less common than regular Snok, Hasselsnok is greyish brown with dark spots . Lastly you have the Huggorm (European adder) which is venomous but only dangerous to humans if you happen to be allergic to their venom. They have a striking zig-zag pattern going all along it's back.
So fascinating 🙂
Addition: The adders bite is probably not to kind to small dogs.
To be fair, there are two kinds of Adders
@@TravelTalesVlogs If you are close enough to see the eyes, the snake's eyes are round and the viper's ( Adders) eyes are diamond-shaped like cat eyes.
@@joakimbarkstrom9679 Right, for children and small pets they are dangerous. For other humans their venom is just painful.
So good to hear stories about service providers going above and beyond expectations.
We're so impressed !
I am a more than 50 years old Swede.
Last year I saw my first and only ONE snake.
Wow we must be snake magnets 😲
@@TravelTalesVlogs yes or was in the few forrest whith many snakes I never been to.
I am a 76 y.o. swede and as I remember I have NEVER seen a snake. Maybe becuase they are not dangerous in Sweden so I have never lookd for them ? If You come from a place where there are dangerous snakes then You may look for them like no swede does ? ..."he who seeks shall find " (Bible quote)
@@staffanlundberg JA kanske det var därför jag såg en förra året. Inte för att jag är rädd för dom men för att jag gärna ville se en minst en gång i mitt liv.
Gud hjälpte mig nog uppfylla den lilla drömmen.
BLESS ❤
Lots of vipers in Sweden. More in the south. With dogs, ticks are still a bigger problem except in the mountains.
Great to hear you had such great service at the shop. The title made me worry that you had bad service. 😂 Those pizzas looked great too
Thank you - the pizza was amazing and the Swedish service even better 😊
It is called a ”click-bait”…
Follow your instinct ...when you feel in doubt or not safe...just move on ...take care & enjoy !
Thanks Simon, you're 100% right !
I live in Sweden and I hardly see any snakes. You must have been in snakeland
Yeah it definitely felt that way. Don't think we saw any more since then tbh !
I see grass snakes all the time when I go for a walk. That is always close to a lake, though.
@@andreasfischer9158 What is grass snakes?
@johannaengman2594 Snokar. Det vimlar av dem där jag brukar gå.
there are definitely snakes in some parts of Sweden, in Hälsingland where I grew up, I encountered plenty of European viper (Huggorm) - I have stepped on one and driven over one with my bike on accident, and seen them in the forest and around lakes etc.
It is not like they are very dangerous, but if it is a warm day, they will come out on the roads and trail, and you should be a bit careful.
If you pass Falkenberg again, don't miss the Fish and Chips bus located at the end of Skrea strand (Skrea beach). They will be there until 19th of August.
Thank you ! ❤️
The man that owned it had turned on the heater and went to take his dog for a walk. He came back to a raging fire. It was too late to save when the fire crew showed up.
Thanks for letting us know - we couldn't find anything in the news !
Well, I have read a complete story
Nice to see you getting good service here in Sweden! Greetings to you from Skåne!
Thank you - it was unbelievable service x2 🙂
Another great vlog; love to see lakes reflecting the surroundings, they look magical. Glad you had great customer service when you had work done on Tandy. Can understand your headache every time something is wrong and needs fixing so that was such a relieve. Take care guys ❤
Thank you Bernardette, we were so impressed !! Glad you enjoyed the video and Sweden 😊
I don't particularly like italian pizzas. Swedish pizza for the win.
This one was good 😀 i guess it was a mix of Swedish and Italian pizza 🍕
Italian pizza for the dough and cheese, Swedish for the toppings. 😉
Freak
Haha you are a funny couple, do not freak out for a little burned down caravan, fire accidents happens everywhere, maybe problem with the gas or electrical fire. Also wanna add that I love your videos 🙂
Thank you !! 😊 It's a bit weird just a bad vibe really, unfortunately accidents like this do happen you're right :// in fact we try to bring Holly with us everywhere 99% of the time because of this.
@@TravelTalesVlogs I feel with you, also travelling in an unknown land can maybe be difficult and scary in moments like that, I rarely see such things since a travel mostly to bigger cities and hotels but your way to travel is very inspiring.
I found half of a news story about the bunt down van, I couldn't read the whole thing as am not a subscriber but no-one was hurt, and it said that the owner turned on the heat in the van, (didn't say what kind), and went for a dog walk.
Thanks a sad story for sure but good news nobody was hurt 🙏
Well, many Swedes are of the stubborn and quiet kind but still want to help out if they could.I guess the Viking blood are still rushing through our body. Take care.❤️👍
So true, thank you ❤️
Welcome to Sweden! I'm swedish. Wish you a nice trip in our beutiful County! 🤗
Thank you so much Helen ❤️
Well Sweden has acctually won the pizza world championship more times than any other country. EVEN ITALY!!!! ;)
Wow that's crazy, didn't even know there was a world championship haha. Well the one we ate was delicious !
17:43... What happened yesterday and why didn't you feel welcome in the area? Did i miss something? And you are right, Vinslövs Fritidscenter is awesome, my parents have bought all their caravans they had trough all the years from them.
0 explanation really
Hey that place was amazing, honestly the service from both of them was exceptional! We had a bit of an issue, but didn't put it in the video. But don't worry all is good we are fine and ready to continue exploring Sweden
@@TravelTalesVlogs óh clickbait title and channel
if you ever travel by vättern or jönköping, i recommend going to huskvarna vätternstrand or piren in the town of jönköping. theres also a very nice view up in the atollen garage, of the big lake a green surrounding hills, really cool
Thank you for your tips 🙂
Hey C2H!
I'm back from my travels around Dorset with my buddy - so I've been catching up on SM etc.
Another great VLOG showing us around Snakeland .... sorry, Sweden & I've had a chance to see other people's comments, so I know the reason for the van fire, but I can see why it 'spooked' you a bit - it would have spooked me too. (For a horrible moment, because of the VLOG title, I thought it was Tandy) :( .... Phew!
Thanks for taking us around the fantastic landscapes & showing what amazing Customer Service you received.
*Love the drone shots as always!
Drive safe, stay safe & look out for snakes & I look forward to the next one. N1S Kev x
Thanks so much Kev sounds like an amazing little trip 🙂🇬🇧 Glad you enjoyed watching ❤️ Lots of snakes so far but so beautiful here in Sweden 🇸🇪
I don’t get it, first you get the best service and then you don’t feel welcomed in that part of Sweden? Did I miss something here. It can’t be a car fire, dose happens everywhere so what made you feel scared?
Hey yeah you are right ! We shared a bit more in the next video
@@TravelTalesVlogs well I don’t know what to say. Some people just had enough of getting things stolen and try to protect them self. You just happen to fit the profile for what the government told people to watch out for. Foreign license caravans and trucks, flying a drone and to that being on the wrong place at the wrong time. This is not a common behavior as far as I know but some people just take things too far.
And recently there have been a lot of new rules and laws about flying drones and also filming with them. you need a special license and in some places permission (military and NATO requirements). People don’t care about this to 99% but burglars has been using drones to spot out machinery and equipment on farms and even boat engines at lakes so people are on the edge in the summertime. Just know it was bad luck and not like Swedes are hostile.
Big shout out to Alde then 😍! As a Swede I appriciate the information on wich company is truly service minded here (for our future "buys") 👍
Thanx 🎉
Honestly a real surprise ! 🙂
And it also depends how you interact with people. If you got a cockey attitude well then you really got to know it...
(Sket i det blå skåpet)
Some people (turists) think they own the country and everybody is their servants and that will get a real payback...
Sudgestion: Travel up north and then go to Norway and the City Bodö and take the ferry to Lofoten. If not this year, then maybe in the future :-). Bodö-Lofoten-Narvik-Kiruna, maybe go to Haparanda and then into Finland. Or Kiruna-Luleå and just E-4 down south again.
Thank you so much ❤️
Really enjoyed the video.will follow and watch again.
Thanks Michelle glad to have you ❤️
I am Swedish and I am am kind like hell, we all are so no worries. Buy us all a beer and we will be mates for life lol.
🍻
Ok this might be negative , i guess that you dont know about law about Drones in Sweden and not beeing alowed to post drone videos?
Yeah can't show military places and stuff like that
@@TravelTalesVlogs it's a bit more than that, to fly and film is one part, another is to share the pictures/videos for that you might need permit
@@TravelTalesVlogsall nature reserves and some other areas are banned to fly drones as well, and now russian spies are flying drones in sweden making authorities to enforce it more
It is not good...Why have it not been cleaned....
Maybe because it's a lay by in the forest so not used often 🤷🏼♂️
Hey you too.
Great video, awwwww little Holly's face when you to were eating pizza.
Be safe take care X X X
Thank you so much Susan😊 Holly was ready, one slip up and she would have had a slice for herself haha 🍕🐕
@@TravelTalesVlogs
She so cute 🥰
Why that title😂
We all thought it would be something bad.
Snakes, not at all common in Sweden.
Never seen so many snakes as this year!
Yeah I think we were unlucky or lucky however you look at it, in these two weeks we saw so many snakes but not again after that. Maybe the area or maybe just the heat ! The service at those two places were amazing ❤️
Actually, snakes are common in Sweden, but it varies from place to place. And they are very shy, so you typically don’t see them.
It's funny, I've lived in Sweden all my life and I can't remember ever seeing a live snake. I probably have but it must have been a long time ago.
Wow after seeing everyone's comments we must truly be snake magnets 😲 We saw about 4 in a week. Mind you we didn't see any more since then !
@@TravelTalesVlogs Ive seen 3 snakes so far this summer and that's a record
I live in Osby 🤠
Beautiful ❤
I have a French reg van, Do you have problems with damp on your windscreen which makes the Insurance and CT paper damp/wet?
I no longer have them in the windscreen now because all insurance is now online in France and as of the 1st April 2024 you do not have to put them in your windscreen plus the CT was never a legal requirement just advisable so there is now no need to have anything on the windscreen in France.
Yes 100% exactly the same ☺️
I don't understand your hysteria of snakes in Sweden, as far as I know there is one species that is venomous.
No hysteria just surprised to see so many in one week
When You have a Dog - Comoon !
Enjoyed the vlog after the headline; I thought something happened to,you two. Bummer for the person whose van burned down, must be horrible for something like thst to happen and your reaction is quite understandable. On another tack, loved the aerial stuff. Sweden is very photogenic from the air.
Hey Terence glad you enjoyed it ❤️ Yeah the light here is just perfect !
Ostja ghaddejt ezatt hdejja hahahaha.
Aw man, attent mid drone ghax kien hemm wiehed bela multa u sentenza sospiza ghax hawn ma tistax ttella minghajr permess mil gvern.
Thanks man ! Mela fejn toqghod ? 😊
@@TravelTalesVlogs mhux ha nikteb youtube ghax self doxxing taf int, pero there was my road in the film it was nice! :)) tilajn lejn il capital?
Actually, the best Pizzas are found in Gotland (Island). You have to go there sometime. It is an old medieval place. Besides the northern areas in Sweden, this is the one to go to (I used to live there).
Thanks for the recommendation 🙏
Welcome to Sweden 🥰
Thank you 😊
@@TravelTalesVlogs 🥰🥰
Try marocco or Afghanistan, you will come back and never complaining about North europe again
Would love to visit
Just one question: Did you give pizza to your non-human baby?
Ah don't think so there was none left 🤷🏼♂️
If you are in the area (west coast) going north you are more than welcome to stop by the lake I live by, Gravlången. Here you can park for the night with amazing surroundings and I can take you out to pick chanterelles if you want to! //Anna 😊
Thank you so much Anna ❤️
The LAST place I would camp with the van, is under Windturbines. Ugly unhealthy Enviromentskillers.
Cheep commercial for Truma
They were great !
If you have the material, could you please make slightly longer videos when you are in Sweden, 25 minutes`?
Yeah generally speaking they should normally be around 25 mins but some where we are not travelling a lot will be less. Same goes for Norway videos !! ❤
I live in Sweden and i have only seen one snake in my life and it was dead. And thats in 50 years.
Wow ! 😲 We must be a snake magnet. These were all in the south mind you, haven't seen another since
I'm 57 and have probably not seen more than 3-4 snakes in my lifetime. And i live in the countryside
You dont have a Dog - or never been picking blueberries !
@@holoholopainen1627
I live in the countryside so at least i pick all berries myself, i hunt, i pick chanterelles, i walk with my dog. I cut timber in my own forests
@@catd11ng74 Tack & Merci ! I thought that You were from Stockholm - where they know All The things BÄST !
who exactly treated you bad? god i hate clickbait.😡
I wont be wacthing your videos ever again......
who am i kidding, ill be watching your next video.....😂😂😂😂😂
Haha this was too funny 😅 See you in the next one 🙂
Sweden is the country that developed pizza for the better :)
Gotta say the pizza was good 😃
Swedish cobras. Very dangerous..... :-P
Hiding in the bushes ready to pounce 😄
Looks delicious that pizza,now you make me hungry ❤
It was so good 🤤🍕
My first thought was that it must have been an accident.
My second thought was that maybe someone had overstayed and/or had been so rude and irritating to the land owner that he went down and "helped" the guy get off his property.
My third thought was that it was probably just an accident. 😊
Yeah exactly, some people have also since commented what happened !
We are very effective in Sweden and we dont like things that doesnt work properly🕺🏼thats why they fix it so fast…
Go to the store Biltema and buy a hose you need for the waterfilling problem, dirtchep store. You get a hotdog, coffey and a cinnamun roll for 10 kr💪
Where about in Sweden was that burned out van?
It was amazing service really ! 😀 The lake is north east of Halmstad we put the name up in the video too
I've been all over the length and breadth of both Sweden and Norway and I'm sorry to say that from watching your videos, it seems that a motorhome is the worst possible way to see Sweden. I always suspected it from seeing the poor sods sitting outside their vehicles in a car park in the worst part of my small town, but I'm now getting some confirmation. Parked up under wind turbines? And a lay-by?
Yeah the motorhome has its positives and negatives for sure but we love it ❤️ When we used to rent a car during our travels we used to see much more but prefer the van so much to have everything with us and wake up in beautiful places (sometimes 😀)
Well, a lot of turist also do a lot of shitty things and don't try to understand swedish culture and can end up being a bit entitled.
A lot of foreign don't understand the freedom of roam rule in sweden and think its a right/privilege but its actually a obligation/duty.

And in these cases... well the anger from the Swedes are understandable...
(However the burned van at the end was an accident by the owner according to news)
That's not a van, must be a caravan. No trace of a engine .
Possibly or they cleared the engine. Not sure but some people have commented about the story... not sure if it specified motorhome or caravan but either way scary for the owner to see !
🎉Jan
👋
DID YOU MEET ABBA LOL
Nowhere to be seen
I lived in Sweden for 5 years and never had a good Pizza. Soggy base, canned toppings, really nasty
Oh you definitely need to check this one out then, it was really good 😊
I have been in Italy several times and I have never eat a good pizza...🇸🇪
@@PetterLoke I went to Italy and was suprised I dident like the pizza. Best pizza Ive had is ironically one restaurant in Croatia and Sweden
Thank God - They still have prober Swedish food !
@@holoholopainen1627 😀 there is no problem with swedish food, but if you has eaten syntetic food or no taste on your tongue, then you have a problem...
