Hi, Sweden, like UK, is EU country so no real difficulties moving. However, though most Swedes speak reasonable English chances of employment about nil unless you speak Swedish. There are special courses, SFI, that can help with the lingo. Loads of threads and forums around about this topic. It's a weird place, and probably not really what you expect. However, generally it's worth a go. Very different and enjoyable place in reality. Good luck. Lycka till, as they say.
