In 2011 the project idea turned into a real Website. HejSweden.com was launched and the first proper post published (about Swedish culture, in German) on the 12th of May that year. So, exactly 10 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hej Sweden has been an immense pleasure to work on, with now about 400 posts and pages, in German in English. Through the years it has helped several million visitors to get informed about Sweden and the Swedes &#8211; for example by helping readers to prepare for their Sweden trip, improve their Swedish language skills, learn about cultural differences or simply find an original recipe for Swedish cinnamon buns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am glad for all the feedback and responses I received from so many readers in the past. These didn\u2019t just motivate me to continue expanding the blog but also inspired me to write a book about Swedish culture: \u201cHow to be Swedish &#8211; A Quick Guide to Swedishness &#8211; in 55 Steps\u201d (at one point #1 bestseller on Amazon\u2019s Sweden Travel Guides list) would not have been possible without the support Hej Sweden received from the readers and followers on my social channels. <\/p><div id=\"hejsw-2869617540\" class=\"hejsw-content-sfa-desktop-and-tablet-1 hejsw-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3eu3RS1\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Book about Sweden - How to be Swedish\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1.png\" alt=\"Book about Sweden - How to be Swedish\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1.png 900w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-800x600.png 800w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to say thank you to everyone who at some point checked out my blog, HejSweden.com, liked a page or post on Facebook or Instagram or even sent me a mail with comments or feedback!
