Join me on a journey as I plan my move to Sweden by the summer of 2010. With a whole language and culture to learn, job and flat to find, will I succeed?

Snow Etiquette
Last night - here in Carlisle in England we experienced snow.
Comment from my Swedish friend and consultant Malin: "Haha I love it when Britain gets snow. You all become five year olds".
To fit in living in Sweden you must take snow with a pinch of salt. Yes they love snow, but they don't run around making snow angels at age 25.
Born in Blackpool, the tourismn capital of Northern England. I moved away - to Carlisle. Studied media at the - then named - "Arts College" - and eventually started working for BBC Local Radio.
Now I embark on a new mission, to move to Sweden.
So WHY Sweden?
I have visted Sweden on three occasions. Twice in Stockholm and once on an Island "Marstrand" (I think it's called), near Gothenburg - and I love it.
My best friend in the whole world is Swedish (but currently living in Carlisle) - and I have two more great friends living in Sweden at the moment.
So HOW will I make this move? and when by?
I have no idea! But I'm hoping to be ready by the summer of 2010. Keep reading to update yourselves on my progress.
Tack
(I know one word... that's a good start! - it means thanks, for those who will be taking this journey with me).
