Here is a survey from the Global Expat Centre Stockholm aiming to help make life easier for expats in Stockholm. It takes just 5-10 minutes to answer, and you might even win a Baltic Sea cruise!
The centre offers Swedish classes, social activities and job hunting support, and by completing the 5-10 minute survey, you can do your part to help them get a better picture of what working professionals in Stockholm need and want.
Everyone who completes the survey will receive some luxurious shower foam from Rituals and will also be entered into the draw to win one of three Baltic Sea Cruises from Tallink Silja Lines or one of 10 luxury beauty packages from Rituals.

Winners will be announced at the end of the month, and presented with their prizes at the Global Expat Centre Stockholm's Latin American event in May hosted by Volvo and co-organized by the Centre and the Latin American embassies.
