STOCKHOLM—Ever felt like calling up a complete stranger in Sweden?
Now is your chance.
The Swedish Tourist Association has set up a hotline that lets callers worldwide “get connected to a random Swede.”
On its website, the nonprofit group says the idea is “to spark people’s curiosity about Sweden — our culture, nature and mindset. To help us do this, we have the people of Sweden.”
