Knowing, that my cat Pixie would be in good hands with my neighbor, I got on my way to Östersund a friday afternoon in January to meet my friend Michelle. I started my drive at around sunset and was greeted by some very intense polar stratospheric clouds right at the beginning of my drive. Shortly…
I have been so quiet on here lately and that for good reasons: as of the beginning of January I started to work full-time as a primary school teacher. My job is limited until the summer, but until then I am working at a school in a village close to mine, which fills up my…
As some of you might already have seen on Instagram, I recently (on the 28th of december 2019) had my one year anniversary in Sweden! It was an incredible year. I learned an incredible lot about myself. And while I made immense progress in my cultural understanding, professional self, language skills and social skills in…
I know I haven't posted anything again in a while, so I thought I would write a little update again before writing more posts going into details and containing more photos! 🙂 HEALTH - I am counting 3 colds so far and 1 stomach flu very recently. I hope I will be less affected by…
What can I say? Working with kids has its very own risks and with my sinus issues I am predestined to catch a cold more easily. I have been sick at home for a few days again, resting, drinking tea, drinking water, trying to stay warm and trying to get better. Day after day I…

This summer has been my first summer in Sweden. As every season this year has been my first living in a different country. Stating the obvious, I know. Truth is, I don't know where to start. I have been working a lot during the summer and enjoyed every day of it, but also outside of…
Needless to say, language is incredibly important. And of course so is knowing the language of the country you live in. So this blogpost will be about how I am doing with learning Swedish. All my life, I have always enjoyed learning languages. In school I have learned Latin, English, French, Spanish and after school…
In the last few days, I met neighbors and had a friend over for a visit. All of that sadly while *still* being sick, so I wasn't very active on here. I slept a lot in the last few days and went to Solleftea a few times to run errands and meet people. I will…
The last few days have been a rush but now I finally feel like I am somewhat done and am sitting in front of a cozy fire writing this. First of all I want to wish a very happy new year to everyone who I didn't write it personally too. All of those who I…
