‘Call-a-Swede’ Service Is Intimate Cultural Exchange at Your Fingertips

|Updated:

Have you ever wondered if it was possible to have an intimate and inspiring conversation with a person you never knew existed until you spoke with them? An ordinary person in a far away country, from a distant culture? 

On April 8, Sweden taught me that it is, indeed, possible.

The Swedish Tourist Association has launched a national number for its country. Simply by calling this number, you can now, at any time, talk to a random Swede. The service was set up to honor the 250th anniversary of Sweden constitutionally abolishing censorship. In 1766, Sweden was the first nation to do so. 

Get connected to a random Swede and talk about anything.
