I was always attracted by the European way of life, but I am deeply Swedish.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I met my wife in New York, so, we lived together there for five years, so my Swedish was kind of a gradual learning process.
Whenever I travel anywhere, I'm constantly asked if I'm Swedish. It's the burden of most Norwegians. The Swedes have just got a better publicity agent, I think.
I love the Swedish people for their detective novels, their archipelago, their sense of humor, their carbonated vodka, and most especially, for their wonderful hospitality.
I speak Swedish, it's my first language. Of course, growing up with Latin American parents from Argentina, I also have some other influences from other cultures. But Sweden is where I feel the most at home.
Every time I'm in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I'm in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It's funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I'll take it all.
Sweden is the home of my ancestors, and I have reserved a special place in my heart for Sweden.
I've seen quite a bit of the world, but I really like Sweden and feel like I could live there some day.
My life is European.
I come from the working-class area of Stockholm, and I grew up with Serbian and Chilean people.
I always identified myself as non-Swedish. I was never discriminated against, because I looked Swedish and speak without an accent. But I had an outsider's perspective.
