TRAVEL DATE TO PANGLAO ISLAND (October 2017) My family and I wanted to spend our vacation in a province as we have not been able to visit a beach for quite a long time. It’s great that we were able to see this accommodation in AirBnb and what sold us to this was its beachfront […]
TRAVEL DATE TO RIKUGIEN GARDEN (October 2018) Serenity. Calmness. Tranquility. These are just some of the words that come into your mind when you get a chance to visit the Rikugien Garden. I could imagine this as a great setting for haiku Japanese poems. Strolling along its greenery combined with the cacophony of bird sounds, […]
TRAVEL DATE TO TOKYO DISNEY SEA (October 2018) This was our first time in Japan. Because we both love Disney, it’s a foregone conclusion that we would also visit Disneyland here in Tokyo, Japan. We were surprised to find out that there’s actually 2 types of Disney theme parks here which are Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo […]
TRAVEL DATE TO MÖVENPICK HOTEL (October 2016) October is always special because it’s Marc’s birthday month. This time, we wanted to experience Cebu for the first time and so we opted to look for a place where the accommodation has its own private beach. And that is why we have chosen Mövenpick Resort and Hotel […]
Although I’m truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to relocate for now in Sweden, I never imagined that finding a job would be truly challenging. I thought having had enough work experience, it would be easier for me to apply but I couldn’t be more wrong on this assumption. For my fellow expats […]
My husband and I originally came from the Philippines and when he was given a wonderful opportunity by his company to choose into which country he could migrate to, I actually influenced him to choose Sweden because of our mutual love affair with IKEA. I thought that once settled and since we have all the […]
Like what I mentioned in my previous blog, we had to secure our Swedish ID cards first because it seems to be a requirement and would make it easier for you to open a bank account. In this blog, let me tell you about our experiences about the three different major banks and what was […]
We initially thought that once we had our own personnummer (here’s the blog on how we applied for the Swedish personal number), everything will be OK but apparently not because we found out that in order to open a bank account here in Sweden, most of the banks require for us to present our Swedish […]
The be-all and end-all of your life here in Sweden. Having your own Swedish personal identity number or what they call here as personnummer is of the utmost importance when you decide to relocate here in Sweden especially if you’ll be living here for one year and more. Once you have this, this will be […]
Four days after arriving in Sweden, we immediately scheduled for our appointment to process this card. We scheduled this online last September 23rd and then the appointment we chose was for September 25th. We were advised by our Immigration Consultant that this should be carried at all times especially when in contact with government institutions […]
