Swedish Summer in the Time of Corona
This year has definitely been a strange one for everybody. Canceled plans, paranoia over a virus, lots and lots of bad news, and perhaps the biggest change of all: a new way of living, traveling, and even eating. Living in Sweden, perhaps the changes aren’t as drastic as those in other countries. There has never…

Postcards from the Lakeside Cabin
At the time I’m writing this, I just got back from a short getaway to a lake house. The post-vacation blues is in full swing (although technically I’m still on vacation), and I can feel the bliss from the lake slowly dissipates as we ease back into city life. But let’s talk about this place.…

Praiano
Our trip to the Amalfi Coast was more than 3 months ago, but I’d never got round to write everything I wanted to write on this blog. And that makes me sad, really. This blog started as a travel journal for me, but I’ve been struggling to find time to write here, thanks to the…

Journal from A Fantasy Land Called Snowdon
The first time I heard of Snowdonia, I instantly thought of a fantasy land with majestic mountains and otherworldly sceneries. There is something magical about the name that makes it sound dreamy, I thought. When I first set foot in there, it wasn’t far off. Unlike the southern part of Wales that I’d visited a…

The Path of the Gods
I got to know the Path of the Gods from a lovely couple I met when I was staying in Sorrento. Hailing from Germany, they had been touring the Amalfi Coast on foot, making their way from Salerno to Sorrento. I saw them the first time at a restaurant I frequented for dinner, when I…

Exploring Naples
When I arrived alone in Italy, the plan was to stay for a few days in Naples before meeting H in Praiano for the second part of the trip. H had a business trip in Norway, so I thought I’d come to Naples alone and enjoy the city on my own. I’d missed my solo-traveling…

The Amalfi Coast
My trip to the Amalfi Coast began with chaos. Less than 48 hours before I was due to fly, I found out I’d got the date wrong. I was supposed to fly on Thursday, not Friday. Panic ensued. There was barely enough time to fix the accommodation, wrap up some work, and pack in between.

Oh, Österlen!
As I’m writing this, I’m sitting in our room in Österlen, in a charming farmhouse that has been converted into a BnB. We occupy one of the two rooms on the second floor, which was built not so long ago. This newer part of the house is in stark contrast to the old, charming kitchen…

Memories from Budapest – A Photo Diary
It’s been a year since my short trip to Budapest, but the memories remain vivid in my head. Budapest was an afterthought. “Oh hey, the flight from Prague to Budapest is really cheap. Should we make a detour?” That was how it was decided. Prague was the main course, and Budapest was more like a…

Postcards from Styrsö and Köpstadsö
My first experience with Gothenburg southern archipelago left me itching to explore more. After Brännö and Galterö, I was determined to see other islands. This time, we opted for Styrsö and Köpstadsö.
