• Poland - Gdansk

    First impression of Gdansk

    As you might have noticed, Poland has become quite our recent favorite. We have been to Krakow, and Warsaw before, and in late December of 2022, we visited Gdansk. And we love, love, loved it! We had an amazing weekend, not only because we managed to get the dates right and flew into the city on the opening day of the Christmas market, but because the city was just all that you could ever want. It is old but modern, the river Motława runs straight through the city and it may be just me but I love being close to the water. Gdansk also has a big bell tower that…

    Did we really eat that much tzatziki?

    Yes, that is the question… did we really eat that much tzatziki? And the short answer is yes. But if we opt for the more extended version I’ll try to explain our obsession with the Greek little piece of magic served in a bowl. It’s really quite simple, it’s yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and spices. Tzatziki. And we love it! We stayed in Karpathos for seven days, and as you can see there are eleven pictures of tzatziki so we had it more than once a day. If I am not mistaken we had tzatziki with all of our meals, not for breakfast though – but I definitely could, but it…

  • United Kingdom - London

    We’re going back to London

    Yeah I know, I have said it and I know it so don’t come for me! London is not my favorite destination, and I really did not think that going back to the city was in the cards me, atleast not so soon. If you can actually call it soon when you haven’t been to London since 2016? But this will be the first family vacation we’ll go on in five years time. So get to bring the kid, who’s not really a kid anymore, but anyways… he’ll be going with us on this trip, and he wanted to see London. So London here we come! 😀 We would love…

  • Greece - Karpathos

    Church of St Apostle

    While visiting the small island Karpathos in Greece, we stayed in a town called Pigadia. But during our stay, we took a daytrip to a nearby village called Amoopi, where the first thing we found was this adorable little church. I mean, it’s so cute and typical for a Greek church that we had no other choice but to stop for a quick photo break. Naturally, I will show you some more from Amoopi itself, but I love these images so much that I thought that they deserved their own post. And no, I did not intentionally match my outfit to the church! 😀

  • Greece - Karpathos

    Pigadia Karpathos

    We have just checked in at our hotel in Pigadia for a week of exploring the island of Karpathos in Greece, and of course to enjoy all of the amazing Greek food. As per usual we don’t have any major plans for our week, besides enjoying the sun, relaxing and maybe catching up on some reading. The island that we are currently on is located in the Aegean Sea, kind of between the islands Rhodes and Crete. We are staying in the town Pigadia, which is the capitol and the main port of the island. If any one of you have ever been on this island and have some recommendations…

    Breakfast, lunch or dinner in Thessaloniki

    We had a lot of tzatziki in Thessaloniki, I’ll tell you that! Tzatziki with olives, tzatziki with souvlaki, with gyros, with fried fish… with wine? sure! For breakfast, no didn’t but maybe we should have. So I thought kind of doing a post where I give you guys some recommendations of where you can pick up some great Greek food, whether you are up for dinner, a quick lunch, breakfast, or just some street food. And at the end of the post, I’ll share some places that are good for a drink or a snack. Hope you enjoy the read! This was just an opening on a corner, where a…

  • Italy - Fiumicino

    The beachlife in Fiumicino

    Besides the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen in my entire life, as I have shown you in a previous blogpost, Fiumicino also offers some of the best beachlife I have lived. There are many different places to stay around the beach area, some more fancy hotels and some AirBNBs that are more on the simple side. We stayed at a small hotel that was close to the beach and that offered breakfast, which is always nice. But where ever you choose to stay, I’m sure that will be fine. The beaches are why you have to come to Fiumicino. Not the hotels. Naturally, there are sunbeds and umbrellas…

  • Greece - Thessaloniki

    Would I recommend you to visit Thessaloniki?

    So what’s my first impression of the city?Well, it’s a Greek city that’s not to be compared to either Athens or any of the other smaller cities that we have visited. And to be fair, we didn’t really have the time to see all of the city or experience all that was offered. But would I go back… maybe not. Even though we did have a great weekend, I would rather keep exploring other Greek cities and islands than go back to Thessaloniki. But with that in mind, I would recommend that you visit Thessaloniki, it is a great city! Let me try and explain the feeling… we are not…

  • Greece - Thessaloniki

    A weekend in Thessaloniki

    Oh yes, we went to Thessaloniki in Greece over the Easter weekend. Yeah I know, I forgot to tell you, sorry about that! I have actually been to Thessaloniki once before, but that was a long time ago. My mother and I traveled for two weeks and let’s just say we had a bit of a delay as we were going back home to Sweden again so we had a layover in Thessaloniki. We didn’t really see much of the city though, we were pretty much cooped up in a hotel lobby the entire time, just waiting for an airplane to arrive. Yeah, it was that kind of trip where…
