THE STORY OF SWEDESPOTS

We didn't set out to build Swedespots

We simply fell in love with discovering Sweden.

Who we are

Sometimes you feel that life has more in store. At least, that is how we sat on the couch in our house in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands in 2023, just before we decided to find a new place to live somewhere in Europe. A place where we live closer to nature and can structure our days in a way that suits us. We sold our house and gave away almost all our belongings to take the leap.

What started as an experiment turned into a camper trip of a year and two months. This journey eventually brought us to a spot in the middle of the forest in southern Sweden.

One pin became hundreds.

We started saving every place we discovered on Google Maps. Hidden gems, beautiful nature, loppis, cafés, little villages and places worth taking a detour for.

Eventually, people started asking us where they should go in Sweden.

So we start sharing our google maps.

And people loved it!

As the map grew, we realised Google Maps wasn't made for the experience we wanted to create.

We changed our roadtrip true Sweden after we bought this app. So much fun!

We really missed this when we came to Sweden the first few times. There is so much to see and do, but as a non-Swede, it is difficult to know about those spots.

We found so many lovely places we would normally have missed.
