Visby is a town on the island of Gotland, some 100 kilometers of the Swedish east coast, which makes it geographically close to Stockholm but relatively difficult (read: expensive) to reach. A ferry ride takes around three hours and tickets are often sold out well in advance of attractive holidays, especially those that create a… Continue reading The magical town of Visby

As previously stated here, I love flying. I recently got the opportunity to join on a flight that is typically not accessible to us civilians. It was a cargo flight where we transported mail from Stockholm to the town of Visby and back. I want to start by thanking my friend and former flight instructor… Continue reading In the cockpit on a cargo flight

Åre in Sweden is mostly famous for being a ski resort. I have for some time wanted to visit it and finally got a chance to do so in the summer of 2018, but obviously not for skiing :-). Here is a report from the trip, which can also be viewed as a review of… Continue reading Summer in Åre

A road trip through Norwegian fjords has been something we have wanted to do for a while, but it always got postponed. Living in neighboring Sweden we perceived the fjords as being very close and as something we can do anytime. Which is quite wrong as they are roughly 1000 kilometers away from Stockholm. Anyway,… Continue reading Fjord road trip in Norway

To read this article in English, please click here. Detta är en recension av Kokpunkten, ett äventyrsbad (eller actionbad som de kallar sig själva) i Västerås. Jag skulle vilja börja med att framhålla att jag inte har någon anknytning till vare sig Kokpunkten eller deras konkurrenter. Jag fick ingen ersättning för recensionen, utan baserar den… Continue reading Kokpunkten – ett roligt actionbad med en väldigt avslappnad syn på säkerheten

I would like to start by pointing out that I have no affiliation with Kokpunkten or with any of their competitors, and the review is not financially supported by anyone. Rather, it is based on… Continue reading Kokpunkten in Västerås – a fun aquapark with a very relaxed approach to safety

Good weather at the end of March in Sweden is not something I would bet on. On the other hand, Emili being bored at home during a long weekend, is. And Easter in Sweden, with both Good Friday and Easter Monday being holidays, is quite a long weekend. So we needed to get away. We… Continue reading Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia

I love flying. All kinds of flying. I have a pilot license for two-seater planes (ultralätt klass B (UL-B) in Sweden; light aircraft pilot licence (LAPL) in Europe). For various reasons, I have not been very active when it comes to this hobby, but I plan to return to it in the future. In addition to… Continue reading Flying from Stockholm to… well, Stockholm

November is considered in Sweden to be the worst month of the year weather-wise. I agree. It is often cold, wet and dark. Daylight is scarce and the impression of darkness is increased by having changed from summer time to winter time during the last weekend of October. In December the Christmas lights (and often… Continue reading A road trip on Gran Canaria

The final leg of the vacation was the drive back home to Stockholm. Even though we spent a couple of days in Zagreb after coming back from the Alps, those days were not very relaxing. We were running around doing shopping and meeting friends (not as many as we usually do when in Zagreb, though).… Continue reading Driving from Croatia to Sweden
