“I have a terrible sense of direction. But I was able to get my bearings in Helsingborg quickly because it is such a walkable city.
Trying to find a place to work was tricky at first. I love working in cafes (What's Up 2 Sisters!) but needed somewhere to these endless virtual meetings so needed an office. I ended up at Mindpark which is a godsend. Nicest people who have become friends.
What helped me adjust here? Going to the beach in the summer in surviving. It was like a right of passage. Also going to a screening at Doc Lounge. I connected with movie-loving culture at a time when theatres were not exactly recommended venues.
Helsingborg to me is a source of new inspiration.”

"How do you get to know where to throw the garbage? No one explained this to me, so me and my boyfriend ended up carrying out the trash to the closest recycling point at Söder until we got to know where the trash room was and how to get in there. 😄
Helsingborg is my true home. It gave me the best friends I could ever dream about and made me feel more at home than anywhere else ever before."

“I have so many wonderful memories from the years living in Helsingborg. I moved here when I was 15 years old and since day one, this has been my home.
As a newcomer, I decided to start collecting places that meant a little extra to me. Over the years, the places have become many. My top three places are; The beach in Domsten, a hot summer day with beach toys, playing in the water with happy children and eating egg sandwiches.
Another favorite place is the café Brödkultur in Laröd. I love spending early mornings here, drinking coffee and answering the first email of the day.
A third favorite place is the Pålsjö forest. Feeding the ducks, taking a walk or collecting sticks and stones with my children are awesome.
I am so grateful to live in a city with so many magical places. Helsingborg to me is home.”

"The most challenging thing, since I moved to Helsingborg more than six years ago, is that I have to do everything myself, from a physical perspective. Such as walking to the supermarket and carrying the groceries back, climbing the hill and up the stairs to the 4th floor.
I am a typical couch potato and a person who appreciate comfort and laziness. I used to complain a lot about how buildings lack elevators. I thought It would've made my life easier.
Over the years, I started to notice the benefit of all these physical activities. I lost weight, became in better shape, and my outfit size was getting smaller. So, I was motivated to add physical activities into my daily routine. Instead of going to work by car, I chose to walk. I even got a little enthusiastic and bought a bike which eventually got stolen."

"Although I'm 100 % Swedish and was also born in Helsingborg, I did not know anyone apart from close family relatives when moving back here after many years of living overseas. But, as a seasoned ex-pat with 9 international moves as a family of 6, I used my networking skills to find a positive path and now have a super network of friends, work colleagues and more!
Sprung from a "Kitchen Table Conference" together with Sally Russell, we created HIC, Helsingborg International Connections in order to help more global citizens discover this beautiful city, also known as the "Pearl of the Sound". Apart from co-creating HIC and seeing if flourish, I am super grateful to hold a role focusing on digitalisation, communication, collaboration and sustainability at Öresundskraft.
An unexpected challenge on moving back here was not being as "Swedish" as prior to leaving Sweden, having personal references from far and beyond, as well as a CV looking like a Swedish "Pytt i Panna" (Google it if you are not familiar with this classic dish). Tip: make good use of LinkedIn to collect experiences relevant to the project/job you are looking for." 🙂

"I moved to Helsingborg for studies. I think being active in student life has been fundamental for me being a part of Helsingborg, and still being here. I both met a lot of great people (most that did not study the same as I did, but something else at the Uni), and those people are still those I have the most contact with in Helsingborg. Most had moved here for studies, just as I, so almost everyone was new to the city. That helped a lot in creating lasting connections, as everyone was open to forming new friendships - something that is quite hard in Sweden the older you get.
Helsingborg to me is home."

"I moved back to Helsingborg and one weekend I had nothing to do so I went outside (I lived in Järnvägsgatan) and took the first bus to the end stop and walked back. It took me to the place I grew up when I was little so I got to see it for the first time in 20 years. I was filled with the feeling that there were so many new opportunities in my new life here.
Joining Helltown Hellcats - Helsingborg Roller Derby Club, buying my koloni and also through the job I have, helped me establish a brand new social network.

"Finding accommodation before my personnummer was granted was a challenge. Applying for pre-school was another struggle. I didn't know that it will take 4 months.
But asking help from anyone that I could reach out to helped me adjust here. Walking alongside the beach in Råå is our family routine, and it helps us to break from the overwhelming newcomer situation."

"My martial arts club Kaisho Kampsport helped me make a lot of new friends in town. An unexpected struggle was to start my own company - Mindkicker, through which I was able to overcome the challenge of employment.
Helsingborg for me is a place for creating memories and experiences. A great memory I think of is when we moved from Malmö downtown to Fleninge in the countryside."

"It was a struggle to study two master programs at the same time, meanwhile, a part-time job in the evenings and weekends was an absolute challenge in the early years of my life here in Helsingborg.
But everything turns bright after going through lots of difficulties and downsides. Of course, all the experiences bring me more confidence and make me stronger.
To start Restaurang Koreana when my first girl was not even one year old was another big thing I encountered…Time goes by so fast and now my second girl is one year old already! Just like what it is said, "Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on”.
Helsingborg is a small but charming city, that once you live here you will never forget the beauty of it. It gets everything you want, nature, the beach, the shopping centre, the culture and the nice people…I began to love the city after the first year’s study on Campus. I got the chance to sail in the Öresund between Denmark and Sweden very often with my lovely classmates and teachers. We did fishing and catching samples of the sea bottom, we did the research of the water and climate of Helsingborg city. It is so clean and fresh, and it is so alive and wonderful.
Let us enjoy life in Helsingborg!"

"Someone told me, after living in Helsingborg a few years that you can not become a real “Helsingborgare” unless your parents were born here.
I still find it hard to get to know people - like for real sometimes.
I moved to Helsingborg when I was just 19. So I have overcome sooo many challenges. I kind of found my self here. I said to myself - Do not think so much about what everyone else is thinking and do your own thing.
I have been lucky to have been working in places like MiH and Mindpark where you get to meet a LOT of new people. Networking and listening to new ideas from inspiring people.
I always start my weekends with a run in Råådalen. Green everywhere, silence and maybe a cow to say hello to. That place gives me a LOT of energy.
Helsingborg to me is great people, amazing places and a home of dreams."

"For me, everything changed when I saw Dunkers kulturhus while I was walking on the seaside and a year after I started working there. The possibility of getting a full-time job was very unexpected.
Good people of the city and free zones to make things happen has helped me adjust here. I have overcome the challenge of attending every single event happening in Helsingborg.

"I have spent a lot of time with my kids since we moved here and have developed a great interest in working with kids around their age.
Things changed when I got the opportunity to start a book club - Speak Up Book Club for kids in the city library of Helsingborg. It gave me a sense of belonging by contributing to society and at the same time feeling much more connected with the city.
Not able to understand Swedish is a challenge, taking up Swedish courses definitely helped to overcome this challenge although I am still working on it. :) I also enrolled in a stöd och matchning's program through Arbetsförmedlingen, I was given support in many areas of 'know-how' about Sweden, and made some wonderful friends."

“Having lived in a crowded city like Mumbai with traffic all around and also a huge crowd in public transport, travelling in a much peaceful and less crowded public transport gave me a sense of peace. Since I travel every day to my workplace by public transport it is a great relief.
The cold weather and the fear of being alone was a challenge but it has been helpful to receive support from my colleagues and employer who have helped me in everything I needed to get to settle down in Helsingborg.
Helsingborg is my home now.”

"I moved to Helsingborg in 2016 and have during these four years explored the city quite well. However, I can still get lost when I go on my daily walks and that is one of my favorite things with Helsingborg. There is always something new to see and explore.
When I started my internship at Visionsfonden in 2018 is when I really got to know Helsingborg and what the city has to offer. During my internship, I met so many people who were so passioned to make the city better for every helsingborgare. I got to follow some amazing projects that contributed to a more balanced, vibrant and creative city."

"One of the greatest moment I had was when my piano teacher invited me to play a piece at the Helsingborg Rådhus (Helsingborg City Hall) for the International Children's Day, my tune was heard by everyone in the city that day, it felt unreal to listen to it.
I used to go everywhere in a car when I was living in Malaysia. We don't have a car here, I have been walking a lot to get from one place to another and it was tiring, but after a while I get used to it and get to see many things around me which I could not have seen if I was in a car, and my legs get stronger too!
After starting my school here and met some nice friends helped me adjust here. I love my teachers at school, they are so nice and friendly."

"I took my move here to reconsider to start from scratch to do what I really love to do and what was meant to be: I started my own business that gave and gives me the freedom to decide over my own time and happiness. (Patricia Bohlen - Movement, Health & Transformation). My boyfriend already had kids and that was quite a challenge for me who only needed to consider myself before that.
I tried to integrate into society as soon as possible and ”volunteered” at friskis & svettis gym to learn the language, meet locals and to get an insight into the Swedish work environment while I could go to their gym for free.
A memory from Helsingborg - Just simply walking along Gröningen by the seaside. I always considered the ocean as a symbol for freedom and endless possibilities. To just sit there and listen to the waves, going to the sauna by the sea. Very special.""I took my move here to reconsider to start from scratch to do what I really love to do and what was meant to be: I started my own business that gave and gives me the freedom to decide over my own time and happiness.

"I did not expect that I was going to live here for a long time, I thought I was just having a holiday.
I was 3 years old, had no friends and I did not know how to speak Swedish or English. I solved the problem by picking it up bit by bit every day. My mum made me feel comfortable over here by taking me to places and ensure me that things will be alright, now I like it more and more.
I was very proud when I had my first reading video uploaded on YouTube and my teachers shared it in front of the whole class. (Youtube : Sio Ma Checkley)
Helsingborg to me is like a home sweet home."

"It was a shock to be denied a personal number after having received a 5-year residence permit. Luckily, we had figured it out in the end, but it was very stressful and disappointing at the time. I couldn't join Swedish classes, open a bank account, even get a phone subscription or become a member in a gym or a supermarket chain.
Moving to a new country with no network is really hard; I even remember asking our son's nurse where we could buy a used bicycle because she was the only person my husband and I knew. I found my first friends via a Facebook group around 4 months after I had moved to Helsingborg. I soon discovered networking events by HIC, which led me to several volunteering/work opportunities and expanded my network. And, of course, having studied a Master's degree here, it has become easier to make connections, both for personal and professional reasons.
I recall our first walk in the city back in October 2016, and I was feeling so happy and lucky to live in such a beautiful city. Having no prior knowledge about Helsingborg, it was wonderful to discover the city's corners while having long walks with my son in the stroller. Once we even got lost and ended up walking over 30 km.
Helsingborg is like nowhere else - It is my home, as well as a constant source of inspiration and joy."

"The first time I took a swim during my lunch hour, I had a meeting at Sofiero afterwards and then biked to Kulturhotellet for a vernissage. As I biked all across Gröning, I thought to my self: Is this a city in Sweden? This is not LA? I became completely in love with it. Being so close to the ocean and culture activities, it's a freaking blessing.
I don't know if I have overcome challenges, but I am on my way. I often feel like I am not enough, or what I do is not enough. Through my job, I've seen fantastic projects grow and become something else and more interesting over time. That has helped me to realize that you never know where you are going to end up, you can just do your best and that is enough.
Helsingborg is an amazing city where I have my job."

Fredrik, It's complicated
"We moved around a lot while I was growing up. England, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Australia - and while I looked typically Swedish and spoke the language when I finally moved to Helsingborg permanently it was after many years living in an English-speaking, international bubble. So I was faced with this slightly surreal experience of being both Swedish and non-Swedish. I looked and sounded like an archetypical Swede, but I had to essentially relearn my own culture and the nuances of my own language when used in a social context. It's been a crazy ride but it's also been wonderful to put down roots and build a clearer sense of my own identity.
My girlfriend has been a massive help. She never misses an opportunity to poke fun at me for mixing up my English and Swedish grammar, or when I accidentally translate an English idiom into Swedish - irritating but valuable. And she's helped me a lot in overcoming my insecurities and widening my social circle in a culture that doesn't exactly make it easy to connect with new people."

"Discovering stone coast was an important piece of serenity for me, a place so close to the vibrant stroll, yet giving grateful mindfulness moments. Also, a perfect place to see your phone slipping down between the rocks. Yepp...
I expected it to be more interconnected between different groups in society. It feels quite segregated. But I keep my mind international and open for possibilities."

"I moved to Helsingborg about 15 years ago. The best thing about this city is that it's alive. Helsingborg gives me positive energy which was hard to find in other cities in Sweden.
I work as the principal headmistress at Södra Folkhögskolan i Helsingborg. For us, both the workers and participants in Helsingborg gave us a big opportunity to develop our teaching methods. Helsingborg is a creative city with many activities for its citizens. Many of them are for free so anyone can participate.
Every day is easy to wake and get up because I know I will go to my work to meet wonderful colleges and students. Besides the wonderful feeling of walking to my work at Södra Folkhögskolan, there is one more place that gives me a lovely feeling and that is at Fira Vin. What is better than eating tasty food and after that dancing salsa to get hungry again and end the day eating AGAIN 😃
I can't imagine living in another place than Helsingborg. The city with its perfect size and activities for all ages and a city with possibilities."

"A challenge was to socialize which I overcame by learning Swedish. The biggest challenge was to find a job in media communication as I am not from a Swedish background and I was a news anchor when I was in my home country. As it is my dream and worK, I started my own Youtube channel 'SWEDESHI' so that I can live my passion.
Closeness and awareness that people have towards their mental as well as physical health here always inspire me..during my long evening stroll with my one-year-old daughter Anaisha, I always observe people doing workouts, cycling or enjoying with family from different ages.
Helsingborg is a home away from home."

“I moved to Sweden to my husband and that is why left my cool job in Minsk. However, after a few years, I got divorced and found a new apartment for me and my daughter. I happened to find a flat in Helsingborg and that is why I moved here from Ängelholm.
Kallis - it is a place that can help you to be born one more time. When I had a sad time in my life I came here, relaxed and suddenly understood that everything is not so bad!!! I love this place. I love the sea but we don't have sea in my mother country. I dreamed to live closer to the sea but didn't think that it's possible in my life. Suddenly it happened. I moved to here from the big city, so it was a little bit boring for me to live in so small city but the sea solved that, it's like compensation for me that it would not be boring.
I am very active now and meet a lot of cool people - at Mindpark etc. So my network helps me and now I am really happy here in this city.”
