We explain Sweden
Autumn is here and soon it will be winter. To several, this is a time to make subscriptions to new services like gym, to compensate for the changing seasons. With subscriptions, of any kind, it is always good to know the exit strategy. I use the gym subscription example because I found it to be […]
Every season has its own charm but for me there’s something about autumn that enchanting like no other season. The crisp breeze. The sweetness in the air. The amazing colours when every leaf is a flower as Albert Camus puts it. Maybe that’s just because I’m a hopeless romantic by nature. But regardless of your […]
What do you miss the most when you’re living far from home? For me, it’s 3Fs: Families, Friends and Food! Coming from a country known for its distinctive and rich-in-flavour foods, there are times when I crave for a little taste of home in Sweden.

As a country that is eager to create a zero waste society, second-hand items are highly valued in Sweden. It goes beyond lifestyle and has become an essential part of Swedish everyday life. Swedes have been said to have a deeply rooted habit of selling and donating old things, which means there are plenty of […]
For many years, Sweden has been frequently represented in popular media, especially in the US. Ranging from typical references such us Swedish blonde girls in American Horror Story: Hotel to the Swedish chef with a thick accent on The Muppets Movie, Sweden is often narrowly depicted as anything that other countries are not. Media representation […]
Monday, 3rd of December 2018, I woke up with severe pain in my abdomen and my lower back. ”This is it. Labor had begun,” I thought. But I wasn’t entirely correct. The contractions started but it took two weeks for my baby to arrive. What a journey it was. These are the highlights of my […]
