excited to hear It is lovely to hear from you, we are very excited. Your mom's here with us for a short time before she goes home. Ben's now back in hospital - in a private hospital called the Hills Provate, getting better medical attention. His foot is infected badly, and he will have more surgery on Monday. This is mum - it's so so good to hear from you sweetheart, please keep communicating - when I haven't heard from you for a few days I start to to fret. But I know you're well. Love to Andre and to you, from all of us. You are the talk of the town.
from Pa and Boobi We got all your travel blogs Gaby, and enjoy them very much. We were very pleased to hear that you got a residence permit in Sweden. Enjoy yourself, all our love,
Boobi and Grandpa (typed by your mum)

hey l am not sure what agreements malaysia have with europe but best check out google or go see the embassy of the country you are planning to spend most time in, in malaysia. you can apply for a schegen visa which is cheapish and last for 90 days within 6 months time, but it is only a tourist visa, so l suggest you look at applying for a working holiday visa which means you can work and travel too. like l said before the embassy in your coutry can help and you will probaly have to apply in your country and recieve it before you fly there. working holiday visas usually mean you need, a ceryain amount of money for you start of your holiday ie. in australia we need $5,000AUD also yoiu will need a valid passport travel insurance for the whole durantion of your stay and a return ticket or the money for it. also sometimes depending on the country you need to be between the ages od 18 and 30 and not to be accompanied by children. if you look up the embassy online you can find out all those details and you can get the appropriate forms to print and fill in. l hope l have helped feel free to write back, good luck

well first where are you from? if you are from countries such as Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and some others you can just arrive with no VISA and you will get a stamp at the airport. that stamp means you are on a schegen visa(tourist only) and you can travel around 25 countries in europe including sweden for no more than 90 days within 6 months for free. that is what l started with. but if you are not from one of those counties then you have to apply for a schegen visa or another visa before you arrive in the country. while in there you can apply for another visa like a working holiday or a residence permit, but be careful do some research first bout the agreements with your country and sweden because sometimes you cannot apply in the country but have to leave it first. if you are wanting to work then l suggest you apply for a working holiday visa it is flexable and can be up to a year long. my boyfriend from germany is on it in australia and he can work whenever and travel too. he is with me at the moment. so you dont get tied down to just working like in a work permit. if you want to get a visa or extend one in the country l say go to the migration office in Malmö, sweden they were very helpful to me but there are others through out europe. l hope l have helped, you can write back. oh and look in google it helped me get all my info and also check out the swedish emassy in your country or another similar they can help you too. l hope l havent confused you...
Visa Hello,
My mom mentioned this website to me, and I came across your blog. I am in the process of trying to get my VISA. I am very worried that I wont receive it in time before I have to leave for Sweden. This is also my first time on a big trip alone so I am not sure about what I am doing. Haha. I was curious if once I arrive in Sweden do I have to have my VISA with me already or can I have it sent to me once I am in Sweden. Just thought I would ask, thank you!

it all started with meeting my love of my life in New Zealand in Feb 2008. We met at a backpackers l was working at in Napier. We decided to travel together. We did south and north island together by car and 2 months of hitchhiking. We spent 5 months in Queenstown working and living through the winter. We then flew to Australia(my home country) to earn enough cash to fly to Germany(his home country) to spend time with his family and to prepare for his correspondence study he will start in October 09. We have been here in Germany since April 26th 2009 and will be here till January 2010. We hope... full info
