Take Your Shoes Off is a podcast exploring the experiences of expats living and thriving - or at the very least getting by - in Sweden. Americans Bob and Kelly and Swedish Micke engage in meaningless banter while discussing the challenges and joys of starting anew in Sweden. Each week, they invite guests to share their unique stories, navigating cultural differences, personal growth, and the question of whether they’ll stay in their new home. Tune in for insightful conversations, laughter, and the more than occasional reminder to leave your shoes at the door!

In this episode, B Keesson shares her journey of moving, adapting, and finally finding a place to call home. As an expat who's experienced the highs and lows of relocation, B reflects on the life choices that led her to settle in the forests of Sweden.
From having a baby to discovering a culture that truly aligns with her values, B walks us through the unexpected twists - like choosing a Swedish multinational over an NGO career, falling in love with a Swedish-American (or is it American-Swedish?) partner, and even developing a surprising affinity for local delicacies. If you're an expat navigating your own journey, this episode is full of insights and relatable moments about the challenge of finding belonging in a new country.
