A couple of weeks ago we visited the Kungsö battery on the Åland Islands for a short history lesson and a fabulous walk in the woods. During our visit the place was very quiet, we didn’t see a soul nor did we hear anyone. As is the case with most tourist attractions on the Åland…

We visited the town in September 2014 and we found out that it is a great destination for a weekend trip. In case you’re efficient or don’t have much time, read on!…
Happy Easter Monday! Let’s talk about some Easter traditions in Europe. The ones mentioned in this post are the ones we have personally come across, there are plenty of interesting traditions all around Europe. Traditionally Easter is one of the most (if not the most) important holiday for Christians. In tow with a more secularized…
Easter is soon here and that equals a long weekend. Here in Sweden, we are off on Good Friday and Easter Monday. And what better time to go for a city break or a weekend getaway than during these four days? This year we are staying in Sweden, as the flights abroad were quite expensive….
There are days when you wake up, the sun is shining and everything feels so right. Lay in the bed, looking out the window and enjoying the short moment before the alarm once more will ring. Well, I still haven’t decided how long time to snooze in the morning, but one thing is sure: it…
A weekend getaway – don’t we all love to take that chance for some leisure, relax and exploring a new place? One perfect weekend getaway from Stockholm is a trip to the south.

Hungary, oh Hungary. Small, yet stubborn. Glorious, yet worn down. Beautiful landscapes and delicious food. Have you ever, during your travels, felt so oddly at home in a foreign country? This is what Hungary is like for me. I remember when I visited Hungary for the first time. That was many, many years ago. I…
What to do on your last day in an amazing country? You know that feeling: on the one hand, you want to catch a last (sentimental) glimpse of a place you will soon leave. On the other hand, going home requires some mental preparations and the swimming pool suddenly feels a lot more appealing. Well,…

This post about Scandi life is not at all too serious, don’t get upset. Especially if you’re from the cold north. Word of caution: here the term “Scandi” refers to Finns and Swedes. Second word of caution: this post is full of generalizations. Don’t be upset! Laugh! For all of you non-Scandis, this is what…
