This is my Happy Place

This is our happy place. By the lake, the forest, exploring under tall trees and picking sweet berries. What is yours? ...

An Unexpected Sup-Adventure

I had an idea- that's how most adventures start :-) Last week was super warm, the lakes were calm and the sun was out until late at night. That's the time of the year where I just look at maps en try finding new places. Often...

#TongueOutTuesday (31)

Summer- summerer- summerst. That's the most accurate representation of the past week here up north. While most of Europe was melting away in a heatwave, we danced around 30 degrees, which is very warm for us but just perfect to enjoy the lakes around here. I might...

September road trip part 1: From Sweden to Slovenia

Early September and quietly fall sneaks up. From north to south we got fresher air, chilly nights and trees that dip their tops in golden paint. We got our travel bags out and packed them with everything we would need for 3 full weeks on...

#TongueOutTuesday (41)

For 3 weeks we wandered around. We left early autumn Sweden and were surprised by a second summer in the south of Europe. It's weird how not only seasons can be so different but also not realizing how early the cold arrives here compared with...

#TongueOutTuesday (01)

A new year, a new series of silly faces and stories from up north, but of course not without wishing you the very best for 2018! I hope that this brand new year can become one filled with new adventures, beautiful memories, and excellent health....

#TongueOutTuesday (52)

It's Tuesday again. Silly faces Tuesday. The day you can let your tongue hang unapologetic. And 'potvolkoffie', it is also the last one of this year. The next #tongueouttuesday will walk through the door together with a fresh new year ...
