Highlights of LA the Swedish way - WEEK 2

In this episode I wanted to chat about my social life in LA.

When I first moved here at 24, I was completely captivated by the buzzing nightlife. We used to hit up nightclubs almost every night, mingling with celebs and soaking in the exciting vibe of the city. Life was just one big whirlwind of social events and unforgettable experiences. But then the pandemic came along and totally changed things. We had to adapt to a new reality where socializing looked a lot different.

Nowadays, my friends and I have adjusted to more low-key hangouts like cozy dinners at restaurants, fun gatherings at bars, and cool events that celebrate creativity and community. A lot of us, like me, moved here from all over the world and formed this special bond in this huge city. Without our families nearby, we've become like a chosen family, supporting each other as we navigate life in LA. The connections we've made really give us a sense of belonging, which is super important in a city that can sometimes feel overwhelming and lonely.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned since arriving in LA is to always say yes to opportunities. Every social interaction has the potential to open up new doors and completely change your life in unexpected ways. Whether it's a spur-of-the-moment adventure or a casual invite, embracing those moments can lead to some amazing experiences and truly transformative relationships. In a city as vibrant and diverse as LA, you never know where saying yes might take you.
