Working from Home: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Last month, I said goodbye to my working-from-home life, as I got an internship with a company here in Gothenburg. I’ve finished the internship and will start a new job next week (office-based), so I think I will share a few things about working from home. These days, the Internet has provided us with more…

Stories from October, the Best Month This Year
October has always been my favorite month, mainly because my birthday is in this month. But throughout the years, October always gives me something special to experience, things that later would become some of my fondest memories. This year is no exception. There were lots of good things that happened in this month, and I’m…

A Quiet Birthday
Last week, I turned 28, and there’s a weird feeling that came with it. It’s not so much of a fear of getting older, but more like the fear of running out of time. The clock is ticking, but I feel like I haven’t done so much. I’m only a year older than a few…

A Few Notes On The Fall Equinox This Year
Happy first day of fall! We had a stroke of luck that stretched for months with an incredible summer, but now Gothenburg is back to its real self with grey sky, rain, and occasional strong gusts of wind. And so it begins. Already I was down with a fever as the season was changing, and…

The First Summer in Sweden: A Diary
How come it’s September already? Summer is coming to an end, and I’m clinging to it like an old woman clinging to her long-gone party days.

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…

The Reality of Moving Abroad
Moving to a new country is exciting, and we’ve seen the highlight reels. Exploring new places, meeting new people, being bold and trying something you’ve never done before… all seems fun and hassle-free. But of course, it’s not always smooth-sailing. A few days ago, I went to the tax office to apply for an ID…

Sunset at Ramberget
A few weeks ago, my sister asked me if I wanted to join her and a few friends to watch the sunset at Ramberget. I said yes immediately, before even looking up the place on the internet. My excitement to explore Gothenburg hadn’t worn off despite having lived here for 2 months. We took a…

Summer Days in Gothenburg
HELLO AGAIN! I feel like I need to shout these words as my blog was down for 8 days since the domain auto-renewal wasn’t working. Sorting it out with the provider was a hellish journey that really got me on my wit’s end, thanks to their outdated payment system that couldn’t even handle online transfers.…
