Snowboarding in Sweden
Anna, I’m not sure how cold you think it gets in England, but I was in Åre in Sweden last week for a last minute snowboarding holiday and it was -21 at times and even colder with the wind blowing in your face.
It has to be said though it was a fantastic holiday and everyone I met was extremely friendly and the general conception about Sweden being horrendously expensive was not true at all. Granted if you want to buy a pint you might need a new mortgage but all the food was fantastic and reasonably priced. When I compare it to snowboarding in the Alps it is certainly no more expensive and, because the mountain restaurants in Sweden are the same prices as those in resort and the presence of värmestuga, it may even be cheaper and is certainly easier to get into the warm without spending a fortune.
The comparison is a bit similar to doing business in different countries and looking for a job in different countries, you might expect to ski resorts in the EU to be very similar in price and attitude but they can be completely different. You might expect two customers or two jobs in different countries in the EU to expect the same service or skills but in reality there is a marked difference between countries in Europe, even those that are right next door to each other. GLJ can help you to overcome these differences and find your dream job because you won’t have a Brit like me trying to help you find work in Sweden based on a week’s snowboarding…that’s what Anna is for.
Anyway, happy job hunting
