About

Välkommen! This is the story about how I am selling almost everything I own, packing up, and moving to Sweden for love and life.

Writing an “about” page is always a challenge for me but I’ll share with you a few notions and goals for 2Sweden4Love. Yes, it is a love story. Yes, it is about an American in Sweden…or at least it will be once I get there in the summer of 2011. But more than this, 2Sweden4love documents my journey (emotional and physical) toward a new life.

When considering this blog I asked friends and associates what they would most want to read about. The answers were intriguing. They want to know about the Swedish identity, the culture, and even the issues surrounding the high immigration rates in that country. They want to know about art and design in Sweden. And they asked about how I would go about selling my belongings, finding a place to live and how I prepare to be a resident of Sweden.  Of course they also want to know all the embarrassing details that I’m bound to make once I get to Göteborg and experience culture shock head on.

It is my hope to answer these questions and to provide you with some interesting info and insights into what it’s like to an expat. But for me, 2Sweden4Love is different from all the other articles, blogs, and posts I’ve ever written. This is my story. Here I endeavor to be at my most authentic and honest. Here I write for me and 2Sweden4Love allows you to go through my journal.

My name is Lisa Mikulski and I’m a writer for art, design and culture. In the US I write for INK magazine, Artscope magazine, The New Haven Arts Council, and AIGA Connecticut. I’ve been a blogger for many years and I also invite you to visit Lisa’s Blog where I discuss art, design and culture.
