Carl Linnaeus and the Lagom Land

The Atlantic Magazine journalist Emely Hiestand returns to Stockholm to visit the home of the famous botanist Carl Linnaeus. Afterwards she published a CarlvonLinne_Hammarby Foto Andreas Trepte.jpgphilosophic slideshow image of Sweden. Listen to her sensuous explanation for the Swedish expression “Lagom”. No other language have an accurate translation to this word so typical for Swedes to use in all situations!

Take a seven minutes break and get the short story by her telling us about the characteristics of Swedes and Sweden. The pictures are mainly from Stockholm which also give you an idea of the wide variety of nature in Sweden.

And the summer in not so far away!
