Hi swedish Gaffers.
I'm from Finland and we are planning making a movie which ends in Tärnaby. We have snowboarders and the like in the cast. So the trip from Stockholm to Tärnaby will have stops in small villages on the way where they will do tricks and other fun stuff.
So my question is, that can you recommend villages that would be good places to stop? Either really nice looking places or just weird ones that would be fun for others to see on film.

Sorry man, but you're talking about villages very, very far to the north and most people don't really have much experience of those areas; comparatively few people even live up there. You'll probably find some tips if you ask on a website with more users, like Reddit 
Good luck with the movie!
Good luck with the movie!
Thank you very much
Herre gud det sprider sig!

Hej guys, I'm interested in moving to Sweden because of the lack of jobs here in Italy, is it possible for a person who basically only speaks English to get a job and live there? I've been to Sweden a number of times (grandparents live there) and I'll be in Goteborg next Wednesday, and so far I can say that everbody speaks and understand English, but is it actually possible to work without speaking Swedish? I do understand it a little (both spoken and written) but when it comes to speaking and writing I just default to English.
Also, how's the job market (high school diploma)? Down here (as in, near the city I live in, not necessarily the rest of the country) the situation is pretty dire and most of the time people get a low pay job with six months/a year contracts at best. And of course, the social-political situation is a pretty great incentive in looking abroad for other opportunities.
I'd be living with my grandparents in Angered for the time being, then look for another place as soon as I can. Being from a country in the EU from what I understand I could start working without any major hassle.

It's doable in the big cities, but more doable in Stockholm than Gothenburg. Not any jobs though I'd say, it's either high level IT-related jobs, or alternativly working in bars or as a waiter.
Almost everyone understands english, and most everyone loves to speak english, but for work, I'd say it'd be sort of limited to the options above.
And again, it's easier in Stockholm than Gothenburg.

Yeah, it's perfectly doable, we have plenty of english only developers in our IT department.
No swedish is obviously a serious detriment on the job market, since it's nearly always easier to just get someone with the same skills, but who also speaks swedish.
But go for it. If you don't have a job in Italy there's nothing really stopping you from visiting your grand parents for a couple of months while you try to find a job. I checked some stats and around 40% of the refugees who come here have a job after two years. Your odds should be significantly higher coming from another EU country.

If you want to learn the basics of Swedish then Duolingo is a good place to start. You can sign up for traditional classes once you arrive.
Finding a job without any special work skills will not be easy. Most companies would rather hire someone that is fluent in Swedish. That being said, it might not be worse than in Italy.
