Hey all, does anyone work in Sweden, mainly the Stockholm area? I ask as things are a bit dry (work not weather) here in sunny lancashire at the moment and I quite fancy trying to find work over there? Maybe even relocate in the future... Anyway, whats it like work-wise and living wise. Any opinions and information is greatly appreciated coz i think i'm gonna have to start doin a lot of research about the place but its nice to know from first hand experiences

 

Cheers

Great summer, hard winter, lots of large live elms to climb, awful expensive beer, some v. fit women, branches thick with lichens, climbing ropes freezing so its like climbing on cable, carburettors icing up on 020's, being able to go swimming in the summer right in the centre of Stockholm the waters that clean, friendly people interested in what you do. Good country to work in for change. That was in 97-98, it might be different now, but not that much I bet.

if youre looking for climbing cos things are slow and you have the opportunity to be flexible, there is always climbing for ecology projets.

you'll payed sweet fa and you'll never use a saw. but going collecting pollen with a piant brush for ecologists is an option. theres always some projects runnning somewhere. botanics proffesors are a hive of contacts and quite open folk on the whole. ive known afew people up to that over the last couple years.

i know for a fact theres plenty of work in venezuela, mainly because its dodgy at the mo but you'd be fine in the wilds...

borneo is nice and settled at the mo, contrary to belief and sierra leone is now one the quitest places about and has alot of fresty projects at the mo.

with borneo and venezuela or costa you gotta be prepared to go up Big trees, and i mean big.

 

sorry to waffle but sounds like your flexible and its another option....

pays a pittance but live on pittance and see some rare sights...
