In this week's episode we hear from Canadian entrepreneur Francisca Leonardo as she explains how she first came to Stockholm as a tourist and immediately felt it was a place she could see herself living in.
In her recent conversation with The Local's editor Emma Löfgren she talks us through how she went from being a master's student in biotechnology to setting up a flourishing tour company showing visitors sides of Stockholm they might otherwise miss.
And what was it like working through culture shock as first impressions gave way to a more nuanced understanding of how Sweden works?
Membership+ subscribers can listen to the interview in the latest episode of Sweden in Focus Extra, out June 4th.
