    10 Advent questions about traveling – Part 3

    Its time for our third episode of the advent questions about traveling and this time we’ll focus on what inspires us. What gives us that little extra push to start dreaming. At what age did you start dreaming about traveling?I guess I was in my teens when I first started dreaming about visiting other countries. I remember the feeling of ordering the Swedish travel catalogs and browsing through them, looking for the most affordable trip. At the beginning as an explorer, what gave you the inspiration to travel? And have that changed during the years? Oh, I think in the beginning I was only thinking of travel as charter, staying…

    Mexican tacos

    Yes, we all love tacos right, and for me that’s always a given card for a dinner party, seeing as most people seem to enjoy our Swedish version of the meal. But just to spice it up a bit and just give it that little extra, we decided to go all-in on Mexican taco night. In Sweden, we mostly use minced meat, store-bought tortilla bread, and chips, along with some veggies and a hot tomatosause and sour cream. That’s basically a Swedish taco Friday, also called fredagsmys. So we made Mexican Carnitas instead of our usual meats, and a Pig out Salsa, some regular salsa, homemade tortillas, and nacho chips.…

    10 Advent questions about traveling – part 2

    So okay, it’s time for the second part of our advent travel questions and last time we focused on flights and getting there, so I thought it would be nice to do a follow up with destinations.   1. Where is your favorite spot in the world? Not a city or country, spot. I do have a favorite spot, or maybe it’s a favorite memory that was made on that exact spot. But anyway, my favorite spot is on top of the Castel Saint Angelo in Rome. We visited for a weekend a few years back and that place just took my breath away. Sitting at the top, overlooking the…

    Two more canceled trips…

    All of the images were taken a few weeks ago, when the trees still had some colorful leaves left, but since then most of them have lost most of the leaves, but if you are lucky, you can still find a few trees that have kept its beauty. This is what the nature around my hometown Nynäshamn looks like though, quite stunning right? And as always, we would like to end this with a gentle reminder to stop by our Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest for some updates. There is beauty everywhere around you, especially in nature when the seasons are changing, so if you just wake up and take that…

    10 Advent questions about traveling – part 1

    So I have seen a bunch of lists that’s been going around for quite some time, and I thought I would do one of them, but I just had to put a little travel twist on it. But of course that gave me a lot of questions, so I thought I would divide the lists a bit and give you one of them each advent. We’re starting out with the first one, that’s about flights and airports. I hope you enjoy the read. 1. On a flight, what is your preferred beverage? Buy on the plane or bring it with you?Oh, this is an easy question, no doubt. Gin and…

    Dinner @ Nåttarö Krog

    Dont forget to join us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest for daily updates and more images. It was a magical night … outdoor seatings with a view overlooking the ocean as the is going down. It’s that kind of place that you see in the movies, you know the one where they show the perfect first date. That movie could have been shot at Nåttarö Krog. Their menu changes with the seasons, during the summer there are more choices, but as they only have open during the weekends in the autumn the menu is a bit smaller. They close for a few months and then open back up for Christmas.…

    Italian Chicken Alfredo

    This is like a 20-minute recipe, perfect for anyone who really does not feel like cocking an entire thing but still serving that little extra. You start by cutting your chicken fillet or chicken breasts into small pieces. If cut them really thin they will cook faster and more evenly. Season the chicken with freshly ground salt and pepper. Use a large skillet or frying pan, add some butter and garlic and fry you chicken until they are golden brown and cooked through. You don’t want any pink chicken. Start boiling the pasta, al dente. You all know what that is, don’t you? Lower the heat to medium and add…

    How to make the most of the autumn

      I am well aware that the autumn has kicked in, it’s November, I know… But I just can’t shake the feeling that the summer should have been a bit longer, at least a few more months. Don’t you agree? So walking around in nature, really? Well, I am trying my best to enjoy what’s left of the autumn before all the colors are gone, and the world turns into a brownish-grey for about six months. Depressing though right, but that’s why you have to make the most of the days when the sun is shining, before the nights get longer and the days get colder. So it’s about taking…
