I’ve been asked if I would consider sharing some of my writing here. I’m not there yet. It’s still “my” story and until I let go of that.. Instead I’m sharing my description of my main character Jo as seen from the “narrator” of the story (i.e me). This will at least give you an […]

Wall murals, breathtaking architecture and the apartment of my dreams.
Facebook reminded me of a memory today which sent me straight to Kyiv appreciation mode. So I felt like I needed to share an ode to the town that not just surpassed all my expectations and sent me into awe more times than I could count but it was also the posting where I encountered, […]
Recent writing mood. Joy with just a little bit of anger.
That means I’m in a sassy, flirty and sarcastic kind of mood. To be honest I’d say that, when I’m there, that’s when I write my best. I need to be “in the story” in order to get it out though and my mindset hasn’t even been close the last 6 months. But lately it’s […]
Cognac, as in the root. And a little something called the end of an era.
How can I explain this without sounding like a crazy person? You know the feeling you get when you twirl spaghetti around your fork until it forms this perfect little pasta lump.. you bring the fork to your mouth and enjoy a mouthful of al dente cooked spaghetti smoothed in (at least for my liking) […]
Summer with a twist of tonic and the key to eternal youth.
Stockholm is on its best behaviour at the moment. A bit too hot for my liking (if you’re stuck in town) but it’s all about making the most of the summer nights as well as being so close to friends and family again ❤️ So last night was girls night with my main squeeze, the […]
An evening in the presence of rockstars and perfection on a plate. Or two.
That’s how I would describe last nights Chefs Table with Desireé Jaks and her colleagues at Agrikultur. This is the place where the food is in focus, not the chefs. And you can clearly tell that they not only respect the process, from farmer to plate by supporting small farmers, but that they truly want […]
The gang’s all here.. now get in formation will you?!
.. you would think I’d be used to it after this being my 6th move in 16 years. But no. It never ceases to amaze me how much crap one can collect, even though one spent weeks cleaning out and donating half of the household goods to colleagues and charities.. Despite all that hard work, […]
Do it like a Swede.
Well peeps, it’s about that time. Below you’ll find my top 5 tips for reintegrating to Sweden, or as I lovingly call it: “do it like a Swede”. Cause even though I was born in this country, it won’t be a walk in the park.. 1) Don’t ever let the weather fool you. Like in […]
Library card, acupuncture, lamps and ice-cream. In that particular order.
And then it hits you like a slap in the face. I’ve truly moved home. Cause when you get yourself an old-school library card (mostly for the smell and sound of books – yes, listen to the flip of the pages..) it has to be the ultimate sign that you’ve settled. And what a library […]
An ugly crier, a wanderer and an obedient slave to the hair thinning scissors.
You know one of those people who watch a mushy movie or series on TV and sit and cries in the sofa. And I’m not talking about small, hard to see, tears rolling slowly down my cheeks – heck no, I’m talking crocodile style massive ones who could replenish the ocean. That’s me. All emotions […]
