Premier FX collapse – What to do next for customers

Moving overseas is exciting. The idea of making a fresh start in an exotic location is generally a cause for optimism and joyfulness, and for many becoming an expat will bring a positive outlook for the future.

But expatriates have a lot to consider before saying goodbye to their home countries: sorting out a new home, finding a school for any children who will be moving as well, and figuring out what’s best for future finances (an international financial adviser can help you with this) are all sure to be top priorities.

Nordic countries have a very good reputation with international students, and Sweden is no exception. But where in the country offers the best environment for study?

The Swedish National Union of Students (SFS) has recently announced the winner of its 2017/2018 Student City of the Year award. The award goes to the city that actively works to improve the welfare of students, and this year it went to the city of Gävle.

Gävle is the capital of the Gävleborg County, located at the very lower end of Norrland. It’s the country’s 13th most populated city and is perhaps best known to the public for its unique Christmas tradition. Every year, a large straw goat, known as the Gävleblocken (or “the Gävle Goat”), is erected in the centre of the city and then, in a more unofficial tradition, tends to get destroyed by the locals.
