I never thought I’d get used to these very Swedish habits — but here we are.

In this video, I share five Swedish habits that completely caught me off guard when I first moved here from the U.S. — from waiting weeks for a doctor’s appointment, to taking off your shoes indoors, to relying on BankID and Swish for everything. Some of these felt impossible to accept at first... but now? I can’t imagine life without them.

I’m Lexx — an American living in Sweden — and on this channel, I share honest, entertaining, and eye-opening stories about my life here. Whether you're planning to move to Sweden, already living abroad, or you're just curious about what makes Sweden so unique, this video is for you.
