- Our experience in buying an apartment in Stockholm
Is it difficult for foreigners to buy an apartment in Stockholm?

In this episode, we talked about our experience in buying an apartment in Stockholm. And... why we had to buy sooner than expected!

About Married Life in Progress
From the publisher's feed
We all don't have answers on how to navigate our lives—married life or life in our thirties, but the societal expectations are emotionally draining. Join us as we move away from the traditional expectations and just move at our own pace. Candid (and uncensored) conversations about life abroad, relationships, and life, in general.
New episodes every other Friday.
