It’s time to write a short summary of week 3. Susann is writing the post from the Åland Islands. In case you have no idea what island we are talking about, it is a group of islands located between Finland and Sweden. This week we have written a couple of posts about Åland. The first…

Week 2 and it’s already Sunday. The cold weather has continued here in Stokholm and we are slowly starting to think about what to pack for our next trip. Sunshine, here we come! We have also been looking at interesting destinations for Easter and the other public holidays coming up this spring. Do you have…
Let’s talk about walking. A few days ago, I read an interesting article about 12 unexpected health benefits of walking and the thoughts that it gave me inspired this post. You may read the article, in Swedish, here >> Countless are the benefits of walking, and they are probably known to most of us. Having…
