One year ago we stood in a beautiful room in the Town Hall of Stockholm. On that hot day, we got married. And wow, what a year it has been! We have spent quite a bit of time abroad. I remember a notebook I had as a teenager, on the cover, there was the following quote…
There are a few places on the Åland Islands that we have passed by a few times. And each time, we comment that “this looks nice, maybe we should stop sometime”. As is usually the case, we keep on driving. One place we actually took our time to see recently is the Lemström Canal not…
The Åland Islands is a small place with a lot of history. We have previously written about Kungsö Battery in Jomala, but that is not the only demolished battery on the islands. Another such place is the Sålis battery. It is located in Hammarland, one of the central municipalities. Built by the Russians, the purpose of…
The sun peeps through the clouds and the music is playing. The master of ceremony shouts out his orders and on three the men push and move forward. Slowly, slowly the pole rises toward the sky. People cheer, the violins sing cheerfully. The place is Lumparland and the whole municipality and some visitors have gathered…
Bratislava’s Old Town has many beautiful historical buildings, and the Old Town Hall is one of its most prominent. The building, known as Stará radnica in Slovak, stands on the city’s Main Square. Its tall tower with a colorful tiled roof is a key feature, and it is an impressive sight for any visitor. The…

It’s Tuesday and time to share some travel stories. Today I write about the time that I decided it’d be a good idea to move to Poland. As it turned out, that sudden impulse resulted in a lot of great memories and eventful trips in this fantastic country. I have touched upon the topic here…
It’s been a while since we have been abroad and I think it’s safe to say that we are both getting restless. We want to explore the world, now! Do you recognize this feeling? The truth is that we have been quite stationary recently and it has a very good reason. Our little A saw her…
Trosa is one of the towns that we will visit quite often this summer. Today was our first visit this year, so we took the chance to spend a few hours enjoying the sunshine and meet my grandparents. All in all, it was a really nice day. Today is also a public holiday here in…
It is soon time for Midsummer here in Sweden and that brings back a few memories from our first Midsummer together. As we’re both from the cold North, Midsummer is a special tradition for us. The very first one together occurred while we were living in Bratislava and we decided to go to Budapest for…
Today we return to 2013 and our trip to Sopron in north-western Hungary. While living in Bratislava we had several countries in our vicinity. And of course, we wanted to grab the chance to see as many of them as possible. Hungary was one of those countries, with its border just a short drive away….
Last Friday was a wonderful sunny day and we took the possibility to visit the open-air museum here in Stockholm – Skansen. It is actually the world’s oldest open-air museum and it’s located on beautiful Djurgården. The interesting thing about Skansen is that it also includes a zoo, with mainly nordic animals. But you will…
