Most people aren’t born savvy travelers. It’s something that only comes with on-the-road-experience. In the beginning, I made a lot of travel mistakes.

I want to help speed up the process and help you avoid my mistakes, so I put together this list of my best 20 travel tips that cover everything I came up with to help you reach your full…

Travel used to be my therapy. How do I do to move forward from nowon?

I, as many travelers around the world, can’t stop thinking and talking about how much it sucks not being able to travel and live the life we want to.

But for me, not being able to travel feels like something bigger than that. Travel is the thing I’m most passionate about. When I describe myself to people, the first thing I say is that the most I like to do in life is to travel. I feel like…

Being a parent during the pandemic

Under the permanent stress of this pandemic, I’ve got to the conclusion that it’s important to remember that we are best able to take care of our children and our teenagers, if we take really good care of ourselves.

In order to recharge, there are three things we could do: Make sure you’ve got good social support. This means having someone you can tell our worries…

How teenagers can protect their mental health during COVID-19

6 strategies for teens facing a new (temporary) normal. Being a teenager is difficult no matter what, and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is making it even harder.

The Swedish Midsummer

In the middle of June, the schools are finally over and the nature has burst into life. It seems like the sun never sets and in fact, in the north of Sweden it doesn’t, and in the south, where I live, only for an hour or two. Swedes call it Midsummer and it calls for celebration!

The debut article on my blog is about my travel to Russia, which I was forced to cancle due to the whole Corona situation. Such a bad luck I had! Exactly the day I got our passports with the visa from the Russian Consulate in Guthenburg, on my way back to Malmö, being on the train I heard the lady sitting next to me talking on the phone and saying: ”Denmark closes the borders from 12 o’clock tomorow till the 13 of April!” I couldn’t believe my ears!… So here goes to trash my whole planned in the last details…

Hello world!
