There are so many interesting places to visit in this world of ours that if you asked us to compile a list of countries we’d like to visit in the nearest future, we’d be hard-pressed to make a list of just 10 or 15. What we do know is that Sweden would definitely be in the top five, as this country and its inhabitants just keep impressing us with endless tech innovations, thoughtfulness to fellow humans, and endless love and respect for nature.
