Read all about our travels! For us, traveling is a hobby, a passion, a way of life. Here you can join us on our adventures in Europe, Africa, North America, South America, and Asia. 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. Come along as we travel the world!
As always, we appreciate your comments. And remember, let us know if you have any questions!
How did we end up in Ostrava and Olomouc? One of the highlights of living in Bratislava – the capital of Slovakia – was how easy it was to travel. There were only a couple of kilometers to the Austrian border. Hungary was not much further away. Even the Czech border was within easy reach….
In the district of Petržalka, just across the Danube River from Bratislava’s city center, lies a series of concrete fortresses. These bunkers are remnants of a defensive line built by Czechoslovakia between 1935 and 1938. Bunker BS-4, known by its nickname “Lány,” is one of the most significant of these fortifications. It stands as a…
How much life fits into four years of a person’s life? That’s a good question and it’s such a good thing that we have Facebook telling us what happened x years ago. Today I learnt that it’s exactly four years ago that I moved abroad. Four Years Ago I Moved Abroad In September 2012 I…
We are almost done with planning our next great adventure. This is one trip that we are really excited about. We have heard so many great things about these three countries that we plan to visit and we will probably not have time to see more than a small portion of what we would like…
There are few celebrations that are as typically Swedish as a crayfish party. Every August these parties pop everywhere: families arrange them, your workplace might invite you to one, they are also popular among friends. A word of warning: a lot of drinking is usually the norm. And you might be expected to sing! Throwing…
Few places in Sweden are as associated with the thought of one single product as Gränna. The town lying next to lake Vättern is famous for its traditional sweet and that is the Polkagris. Once in town, it is really difficult to miss the stores selling the sweets because they are literally everywhere. There is…
Stockholm is the capital and largest city of Sweden, serving as the country’s primary political, economic, and cultural center. The city is located on the east coast of Sweden, at the point where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. With a population of approximately 985,000 inhabitants in the city proper and over 2.4 million in…
At 8 o’clock on Saturday morning, Jesper woke me up with the words “I want to go somewhere for a day trip“. We thought about it for a while. The city center was out of the question due to the half marathon. We had been talking about Uppsala for quite some time but never actually…
Day one of our visit to London was dedicated to walking. The next day we woke up with somewhat sore feet and decided to enjoy the comfort of a nice hotel bed. We did not have much on the agenda, knowing that we had to head to the airport at 2 pm. We also had…
It’s time to explore Sweden a little bit more! This time we visit Borensberg – a quaint small town next to Lake Boren. We recommend you to make a detour to this charming place if you are visiting any of the main towns in the area, such as Linköping or Motala. Göta Kanal has taught…
I can’t believe it’s almost a week since our quick visit to London. In other words, it’s about time to write the second part of our 27 hours in the English capital. Are you curious about part 1? Then click here >> London In 27 Hours – Part 2 Our previous post ended with us…
What comes to your mind when you hear the word England? Jesper already wrote a good summary about our weekend in Manchester. However, my take on the trip might be slightly different as I was the one who returned to a country that I called my home for three years or so. Now that it’s…
