One of the most challenging things of being a Newbie in Sweden is meeting a local. Even when we are surrounded by them, to actually get in touch with them and share some time doing an activity together sounds almost impossible, however, there is a way to it. The Realization We have all been there, […]
Marstrand, advertised as the sailing metropolis of the west coast, is a beautiful island only a stone’s throw from Gothenburg. It comes to life during the summer, but it’s just as lovable during other seasons. I have been there several times and it never gets old, so do yourself a favour and visit Marstrand. Past and […]
Gothenburg’s archipelago is – like the one in Stockholm – quite unique, and just beautiful to see. All the islands, sticking together in a net of beautiful landscapes, are breathtaking. Both the northern and the southern islands are inhabited, and their residents seem to live like in heaven. They happen to live the cotton candied […]
Gothenburg has many viewpoints, most of them are all over the city and free for everyone to enjoy. As the city’s shape is quite unique with a fascinating architectural blend, is best admired from above. This means that you need to climb up to places to take in the view and to capture the moment.

This is the perfect opportunity to travel within […]
Whenever we start a new project (big or small) preparation is key. In a time where information is abundant, finding everything we need to be prepared is relatively easy. Documents, contact information, prices, etc. For many of us, that ultimate new project has been moving to another country. And one very important piece of information we need when facing something […]
As the little sister of Sweden’s most precious and indeed quite breathtaking capital, Gothenburg is somehow left behind. Compared to the magnetic impact of Stockholm, it seems almost forgotten. Although it is the second biggest city in Sweden, it does regularly stand back when tourists plan their weekend but also when locals think about a […]
Göteborgsvarvet is probably the largest half marathon in the world, with about 60 000 registered participants and almost 50 000 runners. It happens every May in Gothenburg and it’s magic. Magic? Yes! Those not running go to the streets to watch, support and enjoy themselves and the entire city stops to celebrate. It is like […]
