AmericanInSweden.com has changed names and moved sites to ExpatsInSweden.com. ALL of the information which exists on AmericanInSweden and much more, is now available on the new site. Along with a new design, the new site has dramatically extended our private area to include our Company lists, CV Posting, Forums, and other Expat networking tools.
Current members and new members have access to all of these features. Current members can use their old login information to access ExpatsInSweden's private area.
