I met Hairy Swede this past weekend. Really really awesome to meet a fellow blogger IRL and also discuss the same problems with Stockholm. For the most part, those problems were quite amusing (why does the alcohol monopoly exist? why are old women always wearing fur coats? what’s wrong with the housing market?).
In any event, we got to chatting about blogs and came up with a great idea. Since this blog is about dating and there are lots of amazing comments here, there’s going to be a new project. It’s called The Love Refugee Project and I need all of your help.
Here’s what I am looking for:
Foreigners who moved to Sweden for a Swedish love and are still together
Foreigners who moved to Sweden for a Swedish love and are no longer together
Foreigners who followed another foreigner to Sweden for love (e.g. american following another american because one came for work)
Foreigners who moved to Sweden just because but found love
This project will take place over the next 6 months and I hope to compile stories, photos, etc to publish (where, I don’t know yet).
If you would like to be interviewed and have a free fika, please email me at chotipreeti at gmail dot com.
Thank you!
Cant wait to see it up!!! Wish I were one of the lucky ones with a swede to love :)
A glorious idea!
Sign me up to spill all the tragic secrets of my life before… it’s quite some story.
I like this! I fit in!
@Steven Savile @M8surf Woohoo! Let the stories begin!
Brilliant! Count me in!
count me in as well as category 1 :)
i go :)
I’m in!! There’s a lot to say about being a “foreigner” in Sweden with a Swedish partner.
Interesting idea – just keep it objective! Been reading a lot of bitching lately about Sweden and Swedes :) will keep reading your blog
Ooh, I hope I get to join in…I’m American and am flying to Stockholm for the first time to visit my handsome Swedish sea captain next week. We met working on ships and have become smitten, but we’ve never seen each other on land yet. I’m beyond excited…we’ll see what happens, so far he has been amazingly sweet, honest, and straightforward compared to American guys.
Hi Sapphire and everybody. I am working for a big Swedish museum and I’m actually also looking for people who moved to Sweden BECAUSE of LOVE. I’m very interested in your stories and maybe in having an interview which could be use for our next exhibition.

Do you have any information about Swedish guys online dating habits? My guy confuses the hell out of me. He is very very hard to read.
