One semester turned into more than a decade. In 2011 he started the blog Hej Sweden in order to share his Swedish experiences and love for Sweden and the Swedes with others who are keen to learn more about this beautiful country.\u00a0 One result of his constant attempt to discover what it means to live in Sweden like a typical Swede, is the book How to be Swedish - A Quick Guide to Swedishness - In 55 Steps (here on Amazon, also available in German)\u00a0 For more about Matthias and Hej Sweden, have a look at the About page.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hejsweden\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@hejsweden"],"url":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Be-proud-of-Swedish-innovations-How-to-be-Swedish-s.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Be-proud-of-Swedish-innovations-How-to-be-Swedish-s.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Matthias Kamann","author_link":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5101\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
