It is soon time for Midsummer here in Sweden and that brings back a few memories from our first Midsummer together. As we’re both from the cold North, Midsummer is a special tradition for us. The very first one together occurred while we were living in Bratislava and we decided […]
Today we return to 2013 and our trip to Sopron in north-western Hungary. While living in Bratislava we had several countries in our vicinity. And of course, we wanted to grab the chance to see as many of them as possible. Hungary was one of those countries, with its border […]
