It’s once again Thursday so let’s have another throwback on one of my previous travels. Today I’ve opened up the hard drive with photos from a cruise I went on with my family in the spring of 2012 when we visited Fujairah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and Muscat in Oman and I thought we could take a closer look on that. I had honestly never even heard of Oman before we visited it, but it’s a country with a…
One of my favorite cafés in my hometown Stockholm is Gamla Orangeriet located north of the city center. It’s placed right in the Bergianska Gardens and is actually in a conservatory building where oranges grow all year round which gives a really beautiful and quite unique interior. For those who like light and rustic places, this is the café for you! I’m probably visiting this Gamla Orangeriet more often than I should since I sometimes work extra at Stockholm University which…
You do not need a big and expensive DSLR camera to take good photographs. Yes, the quality gets better and you get more possibilities with a DSLR than you get with your smartphone’s camera, but I promise you that it’s possible to take amazing photos with your smartphone! I often say that the best camera is the one you have with you, and in today’s society pretty much everyone walks around with a smartphone with a camera in their back…
Since I have some sort of “amusement park theme” going on right now on the blog I thought we could do a throwback on my trip to Legoland in Billund 2003 today! I really enjoy looking back on these really old travels I’ve done since they bring back so many memories, and this time I really have to trust those memories since we had very few photos. I was only eight years old at the time but I do remember…
I just love when amusement parks go all in on seasonal themes. Earlier this month I visited an autumn decorated Disneyland in Paris, and last weekend I went to the amusement park Gröna Lund in my hometown Stockholm which had gone all in on the theme Halloween. I published a lot on my insta-story during my visit at Halloween at Gröna Lund and got a lot of questions about it so I thought I would summarize it all in a blog post!…
The days pass by so quick and now it’s Thursday again so let’s have another Travel Throwback! Swedes have for some reason always loved travelling to Thailand during the winter months and my first time there was in 2006. I was ten years old at the time and we were three families travelling together and all had kids in about the same age which were great! I think we were there for about three weeks and I remember that as a homework from…
Our third day in Paris was also our last and we intended to explore as much as possible. Neither my brother or I had been into the central parts of Paris before since we only went to Disneyland our first time in Paris and had spent our two first days on/near Disneyland during this trip so the goal of the day was to see pretty much everything first-time-tourists-in-Paris see. During this trip, we had rented an apartment through Airbnb in…
It’s Thursday so let’s look back on my trips to Brisbane in 2016! My boyfriend and I studied at the University of the Sunshine Coast for one semester and Brisbane was the closest big city nearby so we had a few visits there during our time in Australia. I remember that I had a hard time describing Brisbane already back then since it’s a city with not that much personality. Don’t get me wrong, I love everything about Australia and Brisbane…
This post contains affiliate links My birthday is only one month away! Is it just me, or do time just go by quicker the older you get? My friends and family have started to ask me what I want for my birthday and this year and my only wishes are an apartment and a trip around the world. Not at all expensive and totally appropriate for a birthday gift, haha! With all jokes aside, I actually prefer gifts in form of…
This week started off with a short trip to Paris. As a birthday gift from my family, my brother got the trip to Paris (and more importantly, Disneyland!) so he and I got to Paris late on Monday evening and got home again Wednesday evening – a trip that lasted less than 48 hours in other words. We have been to Paris once before back in 2005 but that time we only stayed on Disneyland so the city of Paris was a brand…
