We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Living in Sweden for the past 10 years, I seriously can not point any single negative things. This country is built by amazing Swedish people and you can not ask more. I am very happy and convinced and since I became a Swedish citizen I feel very proud! May God bless Sweden! Amen.

It is worth noting that there are neither northern light or midnight sun in places like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo or Bergen. For that you need to go further north.

As a swede, I really like my country, but I actually miss the social parts that other countries have, like being able to talk to strangers like on the bus. I always gets really happy when strangers starts to talk to me...

Hi, I live in Gotheburg, Sweden and something that usually shocks people is that you're allowed to go in thr forest and hunt mushrooms, blueberries or anything else. And you are allowed to go around in the woods etc. if you want to! ( This is called "Allemansrätt" in Sweden)

I'm a Swede and I became so glad when I saw this video. You show tourists the best side of Sweden.

Hej, Sverige!! Hälsningar från TEXAS! I am a Swedish American/TEXAN! I have lived in Sweden and also in Germany (Hallo, Deutschland). Unlike many Americans, Swedes are generally not loud, boisterous and call attention to themselves in public. It's crass, crude and rude. It's low class. Swedes won't tell you that, but I will. Swedes/Scandinavians are much too polite, modest and classy. Swedes are definitely not loudmouth people. I am very proud of my Swedish/Scandinavian/European heritage! Alla lyckönskningar till det svenska folket. Din vän i Texas. Take care, Y'ALL!!!

As a Swede, I love hearing what other people think of us and our culture, it's very interesting! And these things are true, but the nude thing to a certain point.

Love your videos! They have been very helpful on our travels and the first place I go when planning a trip. Sweden is on the list for this summer!
@Belenor 7 years ago

@williamlarsson9820 7 years ago

Mark, your "bon vivant" enthousiasm is infectious! Thanks for the fun and very useful videos.

I have lived in Sweden for over 40 years, and the existance of Systembolaget and the insanely high taxes on alcohol both continue to shock me every time I accidentally think about it.
