Thoughts, lists, sparks of inspiration… you name it, it’s all here if it doesn’t fit anywhere else. We write about the joys of travel, but also life, seld-development, foreign languages, current events, and so on. In some ways, this is a dairy. Of sorts. We hope that you enjoy this blog!

Week 4 is ending and it is time for us to say – Hello February! This month we have been 3 + 1 countries: Slovakia, Austria, and Sweden. And Susann paid a quick visit to the Åland Islands. The month started very nicely in Central Europe. We are looking forward to more travelling this spring!…
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…
Countless are the times that I have travelled by boat. I come from an island and for a long time the only way to get a glimpse of civilisation was by taking the ferry to the mainland (the mainland being located a few hours away by boat). As countless are the hours that I have…
Let’s think of some Thursday inspiration. The cold continues and we keep dreaming ourselves to faraway lands and the sunsine. Maybe we should make more of an effort to be happy with what we have (ie cold and dark Nordic winters), but it’s extremely difficult when Facebook os filled with sunshine selfies. Let’s talk about…
It’s Wednesday and time for some stories from the kitchen. This will probably be one of those random posts with little sense, but I will try to stick to travelling, since this is what this blog is about. So, hello. How are you on this Wednesday? I’m here in the kitchen, sipping on black tea…
Living abroad has taught us a great many things about people, cultures, languages, and behaviour. In this post we share the five most valuable lessons we have learnt from living abroad.

We have all heard of Wanderlust, but do you know about other good words relating to travelling and places? Let’s take a look at some vocabulary from around world about travelling. Smultronställe is a Swedish word referring to a place one wants to return to (often little known to others). It’s often a place where one…
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…
Week 1 of 2016 is coming to an end and it’s now time to make a summary of the week. As we started the new year in Bratislava, Slovakia, quite a few of our posts this week have been about the Central European capital. Here’s a recap of what we talked about. On Tuesday we took you…
Today I will write about the benefits of moving abroad. This post is just touching the surface of a very vast topic, we will talk about challenges and practical issues at a later time. Let’s begin with some background info. If you have seen some of the other posts on this blog, you might have…
Today’s post will be about movement through stillness. In essence, the word movement refers to the process of changing the place or position of someone or something.
