Three weekends in a row I’ve had my family come visit. First out was my mum and her boyfriend. They had a day of sightseeing in Stockholm while I was at work and then we had one day together at Skansen, a famous park here in the city. The weather wasn’t exactly at its best [...]

….or not! I had spent weeks preparing for the Gothenburg half marathon and then suddenly the 16th of May was here and I didn’t feel ready at all. It wasn’t until I was at the starting area, saw all the people that had gathered and heard the pop music flowing out of the speakers that [...]

My life as a university student is now, since the 9th of May, officially over. It has been four extremely eventful years during which I have made friends for life and gathered memories to last a life time as well as stories to tell my grand children when that day arrives. I had not expected [...]

I had a second interview thursday last week for a position as a controller at a healthcare company and sunday evening they called me up telling me I had got the job!! So exciting!! My introduction starts in a week or two and I can’t wait! I know it will be a huge challenge but [...]

Det fullkomligt glittrade i ögonen på mig när jag kikade runt på Åhlens som hastigast strax [...]

What was meant to be an easter skiing in the Norwegian mountains turned out to be a relaxed holiday at my dad’s house. No complaints from my side! I arrived on the west coast wednesday afternoon and had barely put my bag into my room before I put on my runners and went out for [...]

Montréal is a city located in the Canadian province of Québec. The majority of the population is francophone but there is also an Anglophone minority, along with a large number of other minorities of course. An interesting occurrence is that all the information given to the public such as menus and information about contents has [...]

To a lot of people Lille doesn’t really ring a bell. In my opinion it is one of the hidden jewels that the north of France has to offer. It might not offer that many well known sights to visit but it is a perfect place to live in. Admittedly one of the great advantages [...]
