It’s Tuesday and time to share some travel stories. Today I write about the time that I decided it’d be a good idea to move to Poland. As it turned out, that sudden impulse resulted in a lot of great memories and eventful trips in this fantastic country. I have […]
It’s been a while since we have been abroad and I think it’s safe to say that we are both getting restless. We want to explore the world, now! Do you recognize this feeling? The truth is that we have been quite stationary recently and it has a very good reason. […]
Trosa is one of the towns that we will visit quite often this summer. Today was our first visit this year, so we took the chance to spend a few hours to enjoy the sunshine and meet my grandparents. All in all, it was a really nice day. Today is also […]
We have been visiting my parents in Vagnhärad for the weekend. The weather has not been on the better side until this evening. So once little A was satisfied we joined my mother out to lake Sörsjön, which is quite close by. It was time for the family dog to enjoy […]
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 […]
