Ah, Sweden - a place where you're sure to find meatballs tastier than IKEA's and where ABBA is everyone's guilty pleasure. It's the only nation where spotting a moose during your morning commute is totally normal. They've brought us flat-packed furniture and an impressive knack for design, coupled with an arctic chill that's ironically warmed by a never-ending love for fika (coffee breaks). It's a Scandinavian paradise where people actually enjoy assembling furniture and the Northern Lights turn the sky into their own private disco.
