Hello everyone from Sweden! You may get annoyed with us Americans, so do I. But I have a lot of ancestry from Sweden and I'm very interested to meet some of you and learn more about Sweden in general. Music, food, pop culture, slang. All of it.
I play video games (of course) and love space and science. I'd love to make a discord and get to know some of you, maybe play some games on steam as well.
Since this is reddit, you may already be exposed to much American media and culture, but I can offer to teach you anything you'd like about America or explain any current events over here as well.
Nice to meet all of you in advance, adjö!

jr52xmgWe will generally have hard time to connect with you having Swedish ancestry 300 years ago etc. But if you are able to track down where your Swedish ancestors come from, if it's a small place, and you go there and talk with the local Swedes. Then you might get people excited to talk to you, especially curious about how it went for your ancestors.

jr74r4fWhere did you get the 300 years ago from? Most Swedes emigrated in the late 19th and early 20th century. My great grandpa and his siblings came in one of the last waves in the 20s.

jr758z9Saying it as an example because that's what he said in the comment I replied to. And yes I know, I have relatives who went to US in the mid 19th century.
