But things are not “back to normal”. I feel different, empowered in a sense. Might have to do with the fact that I actually did it, I went on my first solo vacation trip with myself and found out that I’m a fantastic travel partner – I’m witty, a mean shower singer, fantastic at talking […]

If you want me back in the real world, come find me.
Cause if there was one thing that my road trip in the Scottish Highlands made me perfectly clear on – I’m in love. I’m in love with the sun reflecting on the Highland mountains, of the cherry blossom trees lining the villages I passed, of the plentiful lochs and glens you pass everywhere, the windswept […]
My head is never quiet.
If I said that life’s a journey you’d probably say what a cliché, right? But it is. What I’ve realised more and more though is that there is one important thing you can’t forget – to enjoy it. And perhaps most of all, to cherish the main traveller on that journey. You. Not you as […]
Some things can never be explained or made sense of.
One of those things happened last Friday in my home town, Stockholm. One man hijacked a lorry and took the conscious decision to drive it in to a pedestrian street in the aim of injuring and killing people. That choice can never be explained or justified in any way. The sorrow that man has caused […]
I’ve stood on Palace grounds and walked on one of the seven wonders.
It’s been a productive week for sure. I took a whopping three days off work this week in order to spend some quality time with my in-laws. And to (finally) be a tourist in this amazing town I currently call home. Beijing has amazing history and lots to see but when you live and work […]
On a bike in Beijing
That’s me. I haven’t biked this much since childhood to be honest which might have something to do with the fact that I’ve lived in countries which were either too hilly or not very bike friendly. But now that I’ve moved to a city which is flat and bike friendly despite heavy congestion, the bike […]
Never underestimate the power of fear or a new haircut.
Fear can drive you insane, make you want to lock yourself up and hide from the outside world. In the case of a 7-year old, it can probably manifest itself in a way making you physically sick. That’s what I think at least after watching my daughter go through major agony over her school trip. […]
Back pain, new workout routine and yes she’s at it again..
Let’s start with the mother of all evil shall we. My lower back. I’ve been standing up at work for the last 6-7 months now which has done wonders to my posture but totally destroyed my lower back and hips from time to time. It may have something to do with the fact that I’m […]
Who am I kidding?
Nina without writing would be like Christmas without Santa. Boring. We feed of each other, we make each other sane, insane – in love, filled with hatred and happy or sad. Nina without a pen and a paper (or in this case a keyboard on an iPhone) would be plain bland. And stuck with all […]
I got lost in art and mixed messages.
Whenever you want to get lost in art and you just so happen to be home in Stockholm, head out to Fotografiska. At the moment they are exhibiting the amazing collection “We have a dream” which features many heroes, famous as well as every day ones. One man featured is a man I admire immensely and […]
