Välkommen! A trip to Sweden is always a good idea in my view, especially (but not only) when you can drive there in a matter of hours. The difficulty can sometimes be having to return. There are so many things I love about our neighboring country, and since it was just a brief, five-day visit in the southern-most part (of a huge country, compared to Denmark), this is just a little taste of its loveliness. I hope you enjoy it, and keep in mind that any opinions offered here are simply my subjective, little musings based on a brief visit as a tourist, partly intended as ideas for other potential travelers, partly as vicarious traveling and entertainment. Hej då :-)

    Your travelogs are always so well done, I wish I could visit Europe more often. Thanks for sharing your trips with us!

    Yes, the joy of visiting a garden when you yourself are a gardener is you can finally feel like you can relax and “enjoy the roses”
  • @ordoveritas
    A truly soothing video and I needed that. Many thanks and love from a swede.
  • Your trip report was absolutely lovely. I adore your soft and poetic voice when you tell historic information as well as reflections of your journey. Your kind words about the Swedes and Sweden warms my heart as an expat living in California for more than 30 years. Denmark and Sweden are siblings in Scandinavia and we have so much in common along with Norway and our Nordic sister Finland. We tend to bicker sometimes like family members do but the love for one another remains. I have a feeling that you and your lovely family will be back in Kalmar again.

    Thank you so much! I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. I have not yet been to Sweden so this was fabulous. 🇨🇦

    What a beautiful and fascinating trip, thank you! I feel as if I‘ve had a mini vacation.❤ Coming from Germany I would say everything you said about Sweden I would say about Denmark: friendly, laid back people and an inviting, relaxed atmosphere alongside beautiful countryside and charming villages. But maybe our next trip we‘ll drive over the bridge, too!!

    I started watching your channel for the peaceful, knitting content, but this was probably one of my favorite videos I’ve ever seen on YT. It was so relaxing and I’m probably gonna come back to it again and again when knitting. Thank you so much for sharing it. 💚🧶

    I love all of your videos. It is inspiring to see your knitting and feast on the designs and colors of your lovely sweaters. But my favorite are your videos of scenery. You take me to places I would love to go to, but will probably never get the chance. The colors, ocean, restaurants, shops, architecture and the addition of the lovely restful music you include are food for my spirit! I will watch this one again, tomorrow, for another little "vacation". Thanks for all you share with us!

    Thanks Helle for another fantastic travel vlog you make it feel like I'm on the trip with you and considering I've never been overseas it gives me a chance to see places I probably will never visit...Sweden is as beautiful as Denmark ❤..have a beautiful week 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤️
  • @gwendylady
    Well now I want to go to Sweden, too! You keep putting places on my bucket list for me 😂 Thank you for another lovely and thoughtful tour 🥰
  • @a_grateful_tangle
    While I do so love your knitting videos, these other ones are so lovely. This episode reminded me of the last lengthy trip I took, to Northern Denmark and Sweden back in 2019. Your narration and attitude are so refreshing, and I love any time you post videos <3 A warm hello from California.
  • @fipeke
    As one of 10 people who took care of the outdoor places this summer in Kristianstad I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the scenery!

    Åh Helle♥️🤗 You're my favorite Dane! So nice to know You like my beloved country❣️Feels like we're sisters now 😂 and we both love knitting too. Our family love to go to Österlen, (eastcoast of the landscape Skåne) in the spring when it's less crowded. Due to our pets, mr Gustaf von Lasagne 😻 and our little puppy Lisa 🐻🤎 we go by motorhome and can stay where it suits us. ✌🏼Another plus is - I can peacefully sit'n knit 🧶🥢the whole time when we travel all the way from the archipelago north of Stockholm 😂♥️ Next spring we plan to go to 🇩🇰Fanø as well! Lots of love & thanks for Your absolutely amazing and lovely videos♥️ from sis! 👭♥️🇩🇰♥️🇸🇪♥️

    Väldigt trevligt att se några av mina egna småländska favoritplatser genom dina ögon. Jag har också varit i Kalmar i sommar och jag bodde på Hotell Skansen i Färjestaden så sent som härom veckan. Tack för att du påminde mig om alla vackra sommardagar i år! /Very nice to see some of my own favourite places in Småland through your eyes. I´ve also been to Kalmar this summer and I actually stayed at Skansen Hotel only last month. Thank you for reminding me of all the beautiful summer days this year!
