This is your Random Swede!

YES!

I just signed up for something absolutely awesome! I've talked to people from all over the world since yesterday! This is AMAZING!!!

OK, so mostly people from the US. Why are you so fascinated with Sweden? I'll ask that the next US-person I'll get on the line. But man oh man... I am LOVING being a random swede!

Call Sweden! Talk to us! We love talking! And, bonus, we're good at english. ;-D

Watch on YouTube

The Swedish Number

My first call was from a couple high as kites guys from Netherlands! X-D They wanted prostitutes and drugs, both illegal in Sweden! Oops! X-D And it has moved on from there to some sad calls (woman who had lost her husband) to interesting ones (refugee politics in Sweden) to calls just from people curious on the country and what great sights there are (the nature, get out in the nature, for GAWDS SAKE! and visit Öland and Gotland, for SERIOUS!!!)

I am so continuing to be a random swede in the evenings. This is so awesome. I hope this will continue to be a thing, just like the swedish twitter account @Sweden where a random swede tweets each day... I so so so hope this will continue. Because I am loving the hell out of this!

Call Sweden! Get a chance to talk to me or my countrymen (and women!)!!!!

Wow, you have a really cool country. Americans should be frightened by the idea of letting others call us to ask us questions, lol.

I hope you tell us some fun things you talk about. Good luck!

I like to think Sweden is tiny but a bit cool, yeah. :-D I must say it's a ball to be a random swede, I am having SO much fun with it!

And no offense, but I do get the impression that US-people are constantly afraid?

ROTFLMAO!! That's awesome! I think of Americans as being very abusive and mean. But you have a point, that all that is usually just misdirected fear.

I lived in the US between 1996 - 1997. And I've never seen news-coverage like the US version before or after that period. It all built on scaring everyone constantly. And then I watch the different elections, not just this one... It still plays on fear. Fear, fear, fear, fear... Obama a bit less so, but it was there during his campaign as well.

So from an outside perspective, US-people are always afraid and being told to be afraid. Again, no offense. :-)
