Sweden and Argentina seem like complete opposites: north and south, cold and heat, order and chaos. But history tells a different story. In this episode, I explore the surprising cultural, historical, and social connections between Sweden and Argentina, from migration and architecture to music, human rights, and shared values. Drawing on research and personal experience of living in both countries, this episode shows how distance on the map doesn’t always mean distance in identity.

Living in Sweden for so many years, coming from a very different cultural background, is not easy. Not even for many Swedes. In this episode, I reflect on why, after more than a decade, I’m still here. I talk about patience, learning, cultural curiosity, family, and personality. This is not an idealized view of the country, but an honest reflection on what keeps tipping the balance toward staying, despite doubts and the passage of time.

En este episodio hablo, desde la experiencia personal, de las cosas fundamentales que necesitas si quieres vivir en Suecia a largo plazo. Idioma, adaptación cultural, clima, soledad, objetivos vitales y renuncias reales. No es una guía idealizada, sino una visión honesta y directa sobre lo que implica emigrar y construir una vida en un país nórdico. Puede servirte para Suecia… o para replantearte cualquier proyecto de vida en el extranjero.

Elva personliga reflektioner som jag lärde mig och praktiserade under 2025. Enkla tankar om sinnet, rädsla, närvaro, lycka och livets mening, baserade på erfarenhet snarare än teori.

I det här avsnittet berättar jag historien om Eratosthenes, en grekisk vetenskapsman som för över två tusen år sedan beräknade jordens omkrets med förvånande noggrannhet. Utan GPS, satelliter eller datorer. Bara en pinne, en briljant hjärna och stor nyfikenhet. Ett mästerverk av vetenskap och observation.

In the 3rd century BC, Eratosthenes figured out how to measure Earth’s circumference using only a stick, basic geometry, and observation. While there was no shadow in Syene during the solstice, there was in Alexandria. Using this difference and the distance between the cities, he calculated Earth’s circumference as 40,000 km — missing the real value by just 75 km. A brilliant example of curiosity and rational thinking.
