We have been to many countries, but there are still many left on our list. Not only do we write about the places we have been to. We also want to share tips and travel inspiration with you.

As always, we appreciate your comments. And remember, let us know if you have any questions!
One visit of Rome wasn’t enough and we eventually ended up a second time in the Italian capital during the same trip. Enjoying the view of Piazza Venezia, Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo made up a big part of our day.
We might not know who is the current pope, but we have at least seen where one of his summer residences is located. After one day in Rome and another in Frascati, we decided to see more of the region of Castelli Romani. Looking through the web for recommendations we found photos of the town, Castel…
In June 2018 we spent a few days in Frascati, Italy. It was a stop on the way back home to Sweden after a month in Greece. Frascati, famous for its villas and wine, is located 20 kilometers from Rome and it is one of the municipalities of Castelli Romani. We arrived there late on…
We might still dispute whether all roads lead to Rome or not. However, in our case all the small roads we took across Europe eventually ended up in Rome and the Vatican- to our great surprise. This is the story of a day in Rome. Italy was a stop on the way home after a…
After saying goodbye to Athens our early-summer trip continued a bit to the west – to Italy. We continued from one ancient city to another, from Athens to Rome. These are two of the most important cities in our view of ancient Europe. Maybe we should have included Konstantinopel (Istanbul) as well on this trip,…
This is the post where we say goodbye Athens! Eventually, everything comes to an end and after a month, we had to prepare to leave Athens. The time we spent in the Greek capital passed way too fast. So many memories in so little time – and Little A will have to stand all of our…
Our days in Athens were eventually coming to an end. There was, however, one place I wanted to visit before we continued to Italy. This was the Temple of Poseidon located at Cape Sounion on the southern tip of Attica. Sadly it was a bit too inconvenient to bring Little A on a long bus…
Right outside of Athens, there are two small beautiful islands – Aegina and Agistri. During our month in Athens, we decided to go for a day trip to these islands in the Saronic Gulf. We knew about these two places already when we arrived in Athens, and it didn’t take us long to start gathering…
My paternity leave is still continuing and the summer saw several trips. One of the more recent is a trip to the far north of Sweden. This time actually without Susann. Instead, Little A and I boarded a flight to Kiruna and joined my parents for the weekend. My parents had driven from south of…
Driving in Greece is something that I have always dreaded and when we decided to spend a month in Athens it was already set – no driving. Mood, time, and location can, however, change your mindset. Driving in Greece was eventually a reality. Not in Athens (that will probably never happen), but on the island…
Visting Kefalonia was definitely one of the absolute highlights during our trip to Greece, Our last day on the island was a calm one. The day before we had seen so much on our little road trip, so we thought it would be a good idea to relax. There were a couple of places in…
The Greek island of Kefalonia is a great many things. For one, as we have written here, its capital Argostoli is very cosy. However, as the town isn’t very big, we decided that we would spend our second day exploring the island. As a taxi driver told us, if you’re going to drive in Greece,…
