Living in Sandhamn

Sweden · temperate

🌍

Sandhamn is a tiny hamlet of roughly 120 people on an island in Sweden. The climate is temperate. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,300. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for sailing, swimming, quiet days.

È un’isola raggiungibile solo poche volte a settimana, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. Il servizio sanitario pubblico (5/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio.
