This excursion is sponsored by EnjoyPolen.com It has taken me three months to write this blog post, but here it is: my visit to Auschwitz. I think it’s just so hard to know where to begin and what to share. Just as I wrote in this blog post, there are people today who deny the whole holocaust and it’s so important to keep the memory of what happened to more than a million human beings in this place alive. This is…
It’s less than a month left until I’m back in Australia so let’s do another throwback from my last time there! I lived in Sunshine Coast back in 2016 and played quidditch (yes, the sport from Harry Potter!) and my team became State Champions in Queensland and went to Canberra to compete in the Australian Championship in quidditch. Canberra is the capital of Australia and together with a Brisbane-based team, we took a bus to get there which took 18…
What do I do when life gets too stressful to handle? Book a spontaneous trip abroad apparently! I’ve had such a couple of stressful weeks filled with way more things than I could possibly manage within 24 hours a day. My brain and body have constantly been working, so I decided to book a spontaneous trip to Riga just to physically get away from everything and I have to say that it was such a great decision. I brought my…
Just as last year, I’ve visited Halloween at Gröna Lund. I think this is the third or fourth year they open up Stockholm’s biggest amusement park during Halloween and invite their visitors to get amazed by all the beautiful decorations and get scared in one of the haunted houses. I brought my cousin Mimmi and after spending a full day at the amusement park during Halloween (and the fact that I’ve actually worked at Gröna Lund a few years ago,…
I found this list or challenge or whatever you call it on Jossus Travel Pics and thought it would be fun to do! Event: Since all my social media feeds are filled with ads with Christmas Markets in countries like Poland and the Chech Republic I have to say that. Home country: I’ve really been longing for a hike in Abisko and was sooo close to booking a train trip there this summer! I decided to wait a year with…
This excursion is sponsored by EnjoyPolen.com One of the biggest tourist attractions in Kraków is the Wieliczka Salt Mine. During my trip to Poland with my mother and my grandmother this summer, I had the opportunity to visit the salt mine with a Swedish speaking guide from EnjoyPolen. I’m not a typical organized mass tourist (read more about the different travel types here) but I have to admit that it was so convenient to be picked up outside our hotel and…
With this blog post, I’m finally done with all the travel diaries from this summer! It took some time, but this means that I finally can focus on publishing the “fun” blog post with tips and things. Those are the ones I enjoy writing the most, but I have to say that in a year when I look back, I always find the travel diaries more fun to read, haha. What do you enjoy reading the most, travel diaries or…
It’s freezing in the mornings and I’ve got my first cold and that can only mean one thing – autumn is here. I’ve got mixed emotions about the autumn since it’s a season I both love (cozy sweaters, candlelight and millions of cups of tea!) and hate (wet, cold and dark!) in the same time. I do believe everything in life gets better with a positive mindset so this year I’m totally going to embrace all the great things about…
I haven’t done a Travel Throwback Thursday in ages so I thought it was time to do one today! Let’s look back at that cruise trip I did around the United Arab Emirates back in 2012 when I also visited Dubai, Fujairah, and Muscat in Oman. In this post, we focus on the stop in Abu Dhabi which is the biggest emirate of the seven emirates and is also the United Arab Emirates capital. We didn’t spend more than a…
I spent exactly 3 minutes at home after Gotland before it was time to go on my next trip! I got home, switched bags and then jumped into my parents’ car and drove to Leksand with them and my boyfriend. We have visited Leksand every summer for as long as I can remember since there’s a varpa competition there we really like to compete in, and that was the reason we went to Leksand this year as well. Here’s what…
