Meeting Alpacas at Skepplanda Alpackagård
My sister has been obsessed with alpacas for some time, and this obsession is… intense. Just like a fangirl poring over videos of their favorite K-pop bands, she spends a big chunk of her day scrolling through alpaca photos on Instagram. When her birthday was coming, it seemed like a perfect gift to take her…

A Day Trip to Brännö and Galterö Islands
Summer in Sweden is something else, and everybody keeps telling me that I came at the right time. Of course, they’re right. Gothenburg is gloriously warm right now, as it has been for the last few weeks. One of the perks of living in Gothenburg is the easy access to the famous archipelago of West…

Cherry Blossom Hunting in Gothenburg
Spring is here! I’ve been enjoying the heatwave and the burst of colors around me lately, and for the last 2-3 weeks, I’ve been on a mission to hunt for the most beautiful displays of cherry blossoms in Gothenburg. And it turns out, I didn’t have look too hard; they’re everywhere. At someone’s garden, next…

Gothenburg in the Snow
Last week, my sister had the pleasure of having me again in Gothenburg, this time with H. (Actually, it might have been a displeasure for her, since she had to retreat to the guest room with a small mattress to give up her room and comfy bed for us. Thanks, sis). If last time I…

Prague, Take Two
My first encounter with Prague was short, dazzling, and remarkable. You could say it was love at the first sight. It was summer, and I just had my first taste of solo-traveling. I remember arriving at Hlavní Nádraží with an overstuffed suitcase, my wonderful Airbnb host already waiting at the other end of the escalator.…

Winter Wonderland
“What do you want for Christmas?” H and my sister had asked me this question a few times, but I hadn’t given a definitive answer (we’re all about practicality here, so we just ask what each other wants for Christmas). This question really got me thinking and trying to figure out what I really wanted,…

Autumn in Southampton
November might be colder than what I prefer, but the beauty makes up for it. I forgot how beautiful November could be, when fall is in full spring. Last week, on our way to the city center for Christmas shopping, I did a double take at a park that I usually overlooked. This park was…

A Walk Down Memory Lane in Winchester
I’ve written about Winchester a lot on this blog. About the bonfire night, the Christmas market, and the town itself. Winchester is one of my favorite places in England, and fortunately, it only takes a 20-minute train ride to get there from where I live. Winchester has stolen my heart right since my very first…

Bibury, and the Reality Behind the Picture-Perfect Beauty
One of the perks of living in this digital era is the ease of travel planning. You can type in a place, and plenty of results will paint you a clear picture (to a certain degree) of that place. That’s how I found out about Bibury, and, at that time, its charms. For a long…

Lower Slaughter, A Quaint Little Village in the Heart of the Cotswolds
A trip to the Cotswolds had been a long time coming for me. I’d always wanted to go since my masters days, but never had the opportunity until 4 years later. This time, we planned it for my birthday. A birthday in the Cotswolds in the fall would be more than enough for me. The…
