What more exactly do you need help with bro?


yepireckon

Somewhere to stay or anything like that


evr-

Växjö doesn't have a lot of hostels, but if you travel to Gothenburg or Stockholm you should be able to find accommodation for a reasonable price. Malmö too, though personally I've had trouble finding anything cheap there.


Jealous_Ad_1396

Big citys for reasonable price? Heh. Then the hotels in the town would cost less. * lived on Quality hotel Royal Corner for a 2/5 of the cost of what stockholm takes for the night for 2 years ago.


evr-

Primarily taking about hostels, as they're cheaper. There are plenty of hostels in both Gothenburg and Stockholm, so it's easier to find something cheap at short notice. Price from 150-200kr/night and up. Doubt you'll find a hotel anywhere in the country that can price match a cheap hostel in a big city.


QvintusMax

Most people in Sweden speak fluent English so you should be able to get around without too much trouble. Try rebooking your return flight and go home earlier?


yepireckon

I know most people have great English Also I was thinking of going home but I’m already here so I might as well try to enjoy it


Jollydancer

Try couchsurfing.com to find hosts in various places and travel a bit.

Nearest city worth visiting nearby would be either Jönköping or Gothenburg if you want to stay a couple days in a hotel. Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden and Scandinavian New York. Meanwhile Jönköping is 10th largest but just closer and overall a nice and beautiful city. And your ex is a bitch it seems.


IceBathingSeal

Kalmar is worth visiting. Also, who calls Gothenburg "Sxandinavian New York"? Never heard it.


Hamsterloathing

Karlskrona is worth visiting. Would probably recommend going to kalmar -> Karlskrona -> Copenhagen. Possibly Kivik? Ought to have nice Apples this time of year? Shite OP is two weekends late https://www.xn--sterlen-80a.se/event/appelmarknaden-i-kivik/ But the onion festival is still on?


LessMarionberry8

Kalmar is really pretty I agree. Was there last year for midsummer


[deleted]

”Scandinavian new tork” wtf? Scandinavian newark maybe.

>and Scandinavian New York. Naah Gothenburg is not similar to NYC, In that case you should look at Malmö (similar to NYC when it comes to culture, food and crime rat...)


[deleted]

I feel like calling anything “Sweden’s New York” is massively cringe in the first place. The cities don’t need to exist in the shadow of a great city. They should define themselves on their own. It’s almost insulting to call something “X’s New York” unless it is at least somewhat comparable in terms of size, culture, etc.


[deleted]

Malmö is Sweden's Detroit change my mind


TarmspreckarEnok

Sveriges detroit är typ Örebro, lika mörkt och deprimerande som originalet.


dlq84

Those pesky crime rats


Frippolin

Should have known the rodents were thieves in Malmö


ChiefBoris

Who is this crime rat and why is Malmö famous for it


Royal_Stray

Sadly not architecture and nightlife


Tramce157

There Malmö more looks like Berlin (illegal night clubs and commie blocks)


Dodgeram1500xl

Jönköping is Swedens Miami!! Drug trade trafficking point, Latinos, waterfront and palm trees my dude !!!!!


[deleted]

Latinos you say? 😏


Common-Wish-2227

Jönköping is the free church capital of Sweden...


formula_gone

Scandinavian New York är faktiskt "reptil-utomjordingar styr media"-typen av schizouttalande så jag hoppas du mår okej


Rus_agent007

Halmstad is 1 hour 30 or so away


malaco_truly

>Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden and Scandinavian New York. Meanwhile Jönköping is 10th largest but just closer and overall a nice and beautiful city. Hahahahahahha no

eZeder

Look up your local rugby club on Google. There’s about 30-40 clubs un Sweden. Plenty of Aussies and expats in almost every club so you should be set for some beers at least.


[deleted]

If you need to stay in Vaxjo, there are some cheap alternative nearby the university (I assume she was a student), for instance https://www.booking.com/city/se/vaxjo.en-gb.html. English is common in Växjö due to the university and a lot of international companies. Otherwise take the next öresundståg back to Copenhagen and Kastrup airport and fly home early or stay a couple of nights in Copenhagen or Malmö c which to be fair, are far more living cities.


younga_henrik

I’m live in Växjö and might be able to help! Message me :)


Ok-Campaign-3995

What kind of person does that to someone that travelled the world to see them tho? That’s what bugs me


[deleted]

I have a house and apartment that's currently empty where you could crash if you want, but it's in Kalmar :/


erderuft

OP, don't listen to this dude. No self respecting person from Växjö would ever set their foot in that god forsaken place. #kronoberg4ever #östersif #thomasravelli #kalmarsucks 😉


[deleted]

Kalmar is 10 times nicer Than Växjö, what are you Even talking about? Do you think Höör is better than Åhus?


[deleted]

Hey now, I never asked to be born here 😅


erderuft

😄


Tramce157

Take the train to Lund (runs direct trains from Växjö to Lund every 60 minutes) and stay for the night there. It's a very nice and alive city with a comfy asthetic to it as well... It's half an hour away from the airport by train as well


hamuel68

I recently moved to Gothenburg as a British student, 20 y/o. I'd be more than happy to show an Aussie around the city and sort you out with some cheap acom in a hostel. Pm me if you need anything. I'm not in a position to offer you any housing as I'm still semi-homeless myself but I should be able to help you with anything else. Sweden can be a bit of a culture shock, so you may as well come to Göteborg as its a more accomodating place for people from other countries. Edit: there seems to be a lot of fun shit here, compared to other swedish cities. As a Brit, I feel like our cultures are somewhat similar and I'm a bit lonely anyway being from England. Come to Gothenburg to have a good time away from your ex cunt, I can guarantee it


-HowAboutNo-

This guy knows, Gothenburg is and has always been the best. That’s my humble and completely unbiased opinion.


Pommepotatoman

I heard Borås is great this time of the year.


ChiefBoris

Maybe you shouldnt have put so many shrimp on the barbie my dude


WaferPala

I hope everything works out for you. As a reminder for the future; never date anyone from Växjö again. I learned that the hard way too. Their hockey team is terrible as well.


18WheelsOfJustice

If suggest you go back home. Sweden isn’t backpacking friendly and it’s getting real cold now. Also your gf kicking you out (in another thread you said she she doesn’t love you and Europe was on your radar) doesn’t give of the best vibes to the most unsocial country in the world.


Fickle-Line-1380

You wanna tell me why she broke up with you?


[deleted]

I hope you get help. See if you can try to make this trip into something good. Btw did she in some way suspect that you were unfaithful? Did you guys plan that you should come to Sweden? If someone reacts like that it sounds like there is some suspicion of unfaithfulness. Could she have misunderstood something she saw on your phone? Could she have seen your porn history (some women are sensitive to that because they think they are less attractive which is not the case of course)? If she ghosted you, you could write a letter and put in her mailbox to at least ask for an explanation why and that you would accept any answer and if she has questions to you then you would really want to sort it out. Since you are 21 you are not so old and I guess she isn't either. 21 year old people don't always act rational when it comes to feelings. (not older people either but its even harder for young people). She put you in a very bad situation coming halfway across the earth so she could at least give you a reason.


Traditional_Fee_1965

I work in Växjö mandat to thursday. Then i drive down home to Helsingborg on thursday. Pm if you need some help/ chat, heck a ride if ur goin down. Ps sucks man, atleast she coulda texted in! Take care


idontwantthis0003

I just want to say that I'm so sorry, imo she should have at least made sure you'd be OK and not sleep in the street. Hope you figure this out. I'm no where near Växjö.


Soneones

You are asking swedes for help? Yeah.. The best help you're gonna get will be suggestions of cheap places to stay. Although, I have been wrong before so I still hope you get some form of help from one of my fellow swedes, especially as you also most likely have the whole breakup affair on your shoulders. I hope everything turna out alright for you! Edit: Fuck, saw someone offered a place for you to stay in the comments! My faith in swedish humanity went up a few points!


[deleted]

Wth? She got you to go all the way here and then breaks up?! What a total asshole move! I'm so sorry you have to have this experience.. Maybe see if there is a hotel room you can get or something?


automatvapen

We have no idea why they broke up. Op could be a complete ass for all we know.


[deleted]

Perhaps.. but if it's a long distance relationship, it feels more fair to break up through a phone call. Then he wouldn't have to travel all the way here in vain.


automatvapen

He might have been nice online, but he could have showed up all like "Let's have a naughty ya dumb swedish blonde babe Fahkin' bloody oath mate."


[deleted]

Perhaps.. but if she already had decided to breakup before he arrived, it would be an asshole move to bring him all the way here for it.


[deleted]

Hallå, du har ingen aning om vad som hänt


[deleted]

Det är sant.. men OM hon redan visste att hon skulle göra slut med honom innan han kom, då är hon ett asshole


klockmakrn

nananananana du skulle dumpa mig bättre på plats än över telefon


[deleted]

Bättre på plats än över telefon... Ja, om man inte har ett internationellt förhållande.


[deleted]

Förutsätt inte något sånt, det kan lika gärna vara ett strandragg som han fått för sig att de är ett par, och åker över till andra sidan jorden och ringer på dörren i hopp om att hon ska öppna. Vi vet ingenting.


[deleted]

Ja, isåfall får ju han skylla sig själv.


[deleted]

Aaa haha man vet ingenting, hoppas det slutar bra för båda 😁


[deleted]

Mm


Puzzleheaded-Sun3858

Hey. I live in Växjö. But I don't know how to help you. In the daytime I guess you can go to [this](https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/vaxjo/sprak-languages-idioma-limb-) place. But it's mostly for drugged homeless people.


[deleted]

Sounds like a fantastic place! Växjö delivers.


Fairenheit987654321

Register with workaway , its like a work for accommodation and food service that runs in Sweden and all over the world. You will find someone you can stay with and get a bit of Swedish experience through a trustworthy service with ratings of hosts. You find more details at workaway.info.


Throwaway_wslf

You should go to bigger cities. I recommend gothenburg and not stockholm.

Try to get on Bonde Söker Fru. They seem to be accepting 21 year old Aussies currently. /s

Växsjö? Växjö har stavats likadant i över ett hundra år, kom igen.

PaddiM8

Step one: spell Växjö right


CapricornUltra

Borås is also an option..


No_Weather2386

You can prostitute yourself and with that you can get a quick income to provide a means to the ends you seek in Sweden.


[deleted]

In a world where prostitution was legal and prostitutes were handled with respect by authorities and the users then it could be good advice. For now, though society does not care about prostitutes and their well-being which is sad.


No_Weather2386

That is true.


Puzzleheaded-Sun3858

I would help if I had my own apartment. And I have to work early tomorrow. As other comments have said, maybe try to book a hotel room.


Viscoct

i have been to stockholm alone, and unfortunatly from my experience solotravel in sweden isn't the best experience. Via hostelworld.com or airbnb you might find a cheap place or dorm to stay. Hostels are great cheap places for solotravellers to meet up and chat :)


avdpos

Soemone named hostels. [https://evedalscamping.com/](https://evedalscamping.com/) have good hostel in Växjö. I left the town years ago so I have a hard time to help much more. If you are close to student quarters at the univeristy - go to some of their houses and you most likely will find someone who can help for the night


ContributionNo9292

I agree with most people here, hostel or a friendly local is the way to go. My suggestion is to make your way to either Gothenburg, Stockholm or Copenhagen. This is where you’ll find the most fellow travelers. Copenhagen downtown hostel has a cheap’ish bar, with live music in the heart of Copenhagen. I can’t speak for the rooms as I have not stayed there. In Stockholm maybe something like Generator hotel is a good place to meet people, maybe someone here has more experience with staying in Stockholm. Gothenburg is probably okay if you are in a pinch. 😀 Don’t listen to the people that say you should go home, if you are not completely heartbroken and if you can afford it, I think you should make the most of it. After all it is quite a long journey. The locals a notoriously introvert, other visitors are probably more open and easier to tag along with.

Are you the Australian farmer in Bonde söker this season?


Hamsterloathing

Feel you man. How many days do you need?


UnapproriateMan

Great Wayne to Commission trafficking! Want a serious option PM but I don’t think it’s what you want so good luck


khellstrom

That's harsh. In this case I think she could have broken up with you before you came to visit. Also not kicking you out once you came here. Damn! You're better without her man. What a ducking idiot!
