Why hang out with the Swedish cousins in Sweden? That is no way of living a globetrotter-life. So we met them in Philadelphia instead because that sure makes a lot more sense! We only had a few days but sure…
Stockholm-reunion with ex Sydney Friends.
Our next visit was to our dear Sydney friends now living in Stockholm. I am talking about the ones we met in parenting class and spent navigating the first year as parents with. These days included a visit to a…
Sommarstuga, as Swedish as you can get.
Having a “sommarstuga” [summer house] near any body of water, preferably surrounded by nature is about as Swedish as meatballs and Kalles Kaviar. Most people I know have one, at least within the family and it is used to escape…

The place in Ängelholm where my in-laws have their summer house is actually Havsbaden where Råbocka Camping is located. The summer house used to be part of a larger scale conference and cottage rental facility but all the cottages have…
Klitterhus.
Since the weather continues to be quite unsteady we decide to walk around the neighborhood and have a look at our surroundings without going too far away from some cover in case the heavens would open up again. Klitterhus is…
