This post is a part of the writing project called Stories from the West that I started with Christa.

A Walk Through Änggårdsbergen in the Fall
I’ve made no secret of my longing to live in London, but if you asked me if I’m happy here in Gothenburg, I’d say yes. While Gothenburg might not be as famous as Stockholm, it has its own charm and advantages over the capital. It’s not as big as Stockholm, and it certainly doesn’t feel…

The Fall Diaries
It’s been a while since I posted a journal entry. The blogging space has changed so much in the last few years that personal posts can feel a bit too self-indulgent, and I have been hesitating to post something like this. To post or not to post, that’s the question. But then I remember the…

Friends.
Last week, I said goodbye to my friend Timothy after he visited me for 2.5 days. It all started the previous summer, when he threw the idea of meeting up the next year. I said yes of course. A man of his words, a few weeks ago he actually bought a ticket to Gothenburg. And…
