The darkest time of the year has finally arrived. Especially after the switch from summer- to wintertime, the days feel incredibly short. At the moment the days get shorter at a rate of 6 minutes everyday. The sun rises at around 8:00h in the morning and sets at around 15:00h. Again it has been very…
It was quiet again here for a while. I was sick. Like really sick. As some of you may know, I struggle a bit with health regarding my sinuses. I have always had trouble with ear/nose/throat infections since I was a child and I even had an operation done 2012 to straighten the middle part…
Again a pause in posts. And I start again with a blogpost a little different than usually. As I had mentioned in an earlier blogpost I spent the two last weeks of August in Germany. Right after we returned the moose hunt started, we got a kitten and we were in the lucky company of…
I have really come to enjoy going out with Tom to fish. Contrary to Germany it is not required to have a general fishing liscence, you only need to buy fishing cards for the lake or area where you are fishing. That makes it very easy to just stop at a place, buy a fishing…
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…

All my life, I have always enjoyed learning languages. In school I have learned Latin, English, French, Spanish and after school…
In the last weeks, I was sooo busy with the guests I had.As I wrote in an earlier post, my mum came over from Germany to visit me and stay with me on my birthday and right after her came a friend from Germany for a visit! While they were here I kept working and…
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I finally got it. The swedish personal number. It took me longer than expected, because to me it was quite intransparent what documents exactly I would need. Constantly I felt like I had to hand in more than what was requested and the whole ordeal just kept getting…
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…
