Can people live in a very small place in a world and be happy and satisfied with it? Sure they can! Just listen to these locals from Tranemo talking about the place they live in. Tranemo is not Stockholm, but it has its own qualities...

 

Anna Starrén, Uddebo (Designer, Oddbirds)

 

What´s the best living in Tranemo municipality (the place you are living in)?

 Uddebo, more than any place! To have the possibility to influence and realize your own existence, the people, the closeness to all I want.

Why should you recommend people to live here?

 The air, the scent, the stars, the seasons, the silence, the birds in the spring, barefoot in the grass and thousands of other things like own produced eggs, fantastic neighbours and to walk directly out in nature. To look at animals in the garden. To be able to open the door an early morning, yawn,strech and inhale the morning fog and poor up a cup of coffee and notice when the surrounding wakes up.

What improvements would you like to see?

 To support fire souls that loves their work and believes in their ability. Those people have the power. If we want people to live here, we have to think more innovative. We are able to create our own idyllic spot. We must come together and create our dream and vision. Dare to think more lateral.
