Top 4 in Rome
I want to share my favorites sightsing spots from our trip to Rome in Italy. Keep in mind that our trip was quite a few years ago, so maybe my facts are a bit outdated, feel free to call me out. Fontana di Trevi Let’s start off with one of the biggest tourist sights ever, but after seeing the amazing architecture I can totally understand why. According to the legend, you are supposed to drink a thirst-quenching glass of water from the Trevi fountain and that would give you good fortune and make sure that you would return to Rome. Fortunately, the saying has evolved beyond drinking in the fountain,…

10 Travel dreams
This is an old list that been going around for quite some time now, but I have not gotten around to doing it until now. I have read the list at several bloggers, both fellow travelbloggers as Amanda from Swedish Passport and Jossus Travelpics but also with Matilda Berlin. Have you read this list before? Events Oh, this is a good one. My first answer will be Beltane, in Edinburgh of course. And then Hogmanay, also in Edinburgh. Yorvik Viking festival in York. Yggdrasil medieval and pagan festival in Treviso. That’s quite a theme huh? But I don’t look for just the pagan and medieval thingies, I would love to…

4 favorite Italian drinks
As you’ve all seen we’ve had both Greek and Indian dinner, so it’s about time we take the food travels to Italy for some pasta and a few Italian drinks. As we were planning our menu for the night we kind of stumbled upon the idea of making cocktails in Italian fashion, and who am I to say no to a great idea huh? So cocktails it is! Keep in mind though when you’re reading this, we’re not always keeping the original recipes, due to the simple facts that our little bar at home did not have all the ingredients. Aperol Spritz So let’s start off with a fun fact,…

Food travel to India
So for our next destination within the foodtravel adventures we are doing, we decided to head to India for our next culinary experience. We wanted to dive into the rich colored foods, with spices like cardamom, turmeric, clove, coriander, saffron, asafetida, cumin seeds, and of course curry. But before we set us off on our journey, let’s just take a moment and clarify one thing, we are not professionals. This is homemade food, and we are not saying in any way that this is the correct way to do it. Let’s just call it Indian inspired food by a few bored swedes, okay? Do you see that little photobomber under…

Could you, should you, would you?
Last spring we had a trip to Edinburgh booked but as you know that trip was canceled due to the big strike within SAS. And this year’s trip to Edinburgh was canceled too. For this spring we have a trip to Paris booked during late May, but that too is at risk for being canceled due to the Coronavirus. Well, our trip to Paris is canceled. For some reason that I just can’t explain, Paris is right at the top of my bucket list, and seeing as this will be our first trip with baby Jules, Paris just seemed like a good destination to start with. I want to experience…

Greek dinner
So if you can’t travel to Greece right now, Greece will just have to come to us. And what better way to make that happened than to cook yourself a greek dinner. Travel inspired dinners coming up, and we are even thinking of making this a series of blog posts, so please let us know if this kind of post would interest you! Just go all-in with music, foods, and beer. And take your time to set the table, make it into a party! But if you are at home, don’t go throwing those plates around – that makes quite a mess. Did I tell you that we did that…

Almost springtime in Sweden
Springtime has almost hit our hometown here in Sweden, so its that time of year when the browns and greens are being convinced by the light and crispy greens to step aside. You all know that time, you can almost smell the colors in the air. The winds are still a bit chilly but if you find that place where the winds cant find you, the warmth from the sun is amazing. Yesterday, it was about 10 degrees Celsius so yeah, it’s still a bit chilly. And that’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit for those of you who use that system.Has any gotten the hang of the conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit?…

The trip to Edinburgh during Beltane, canceled – again?!
You all know that I love Edinburgh right?If I had not fallen in love with Edinburgh on the very instant we first met, I would have fallen in love with the city during our last trip. There’s just no place like this, where I feel this welcoming warmth every time I visit. It’s kind of like when you visit an old childhood friend that you have not seen for years, but it clearly does not matter that a long time has gone by, you’re still the best of friends. All the images are taken during our trip to Edinburgh last summer. But our relationship has not been the easiest to…

I had a dream…
… of Italy, and more specifically Rome. I am really happy that I have these images, cuz this was the place I was dreaming about, so I am happy to be able to share this with you. We found this place whilst just walking around in the city, as we aimlessly did for hours. Turn here, stop there, take a left, pause, go right… you know the drill. You keep walking until you find yourself totally lost in the beauty of the city, stopping only when you find that great spot that gives you exactly what you want. This was this kind of place for us, we took a turn,…

Plaka Stairs
Besides the big buildings and tourist attractions in Athens, Plaka stairs were one of the things I had my eyes set on seeing during our visit to the capital of Greece. I just had an idea of a really friendly vibe, where people were sitting around and drinking wine, eating some snacks and smoking way too many cigarettes. I do admit though that in my head, as I was planning to sit on the Plaka stairs, I was imagining more sunshine and for certain more people. But we were there before lunch on the day after the new year’s celebrations, so there was no crowd at all. But no sun…
