During the Höstlov break we decided that we wanted to explore some more of Sweden. We were already heading down to Norrtälje, a large town north east of Stockholm, to see an old colleague in their new home and so Marholmen was the perfect extra night. An hour drive from Arlanda airport, Marholmen is a…

Hop Farm Beach, Sweden
Trying to travel around Sweden can be quite frustrating. When you google (in English) this incredibly country you are inundated with travel guides for Stockholm and the archipelago with a few for Gothenburg and Mälmo dropped in for good luck.

Europe by Rail: 4 nights in Budapest
Leaving Vienna at 12:42pm we arrived at Budapest-Keleti station at 3:25pm (booked via Trainline). As we were spending 4 nights and 5 full days, the 72 hour ticket wasn’t quite enough but you can get the 15 day pass for only an extra 400ft. For a total of 5950ft pp (around 15 euros) that was…

Støtvig Hotel: Norway
This summer we were supposed to return to Japan but unfortunately the Covid curse prevented us from going. Even though we were gutted, we decided to make the best of it. We took our time moving house with the help of some amazing people and then took a few days away from Gävle to unwind…
2 Days in Stockholm
When we first moved to Sweden, we thought our first stop would be Stockholm but due to the Corona curse, that was postponed twice. The first time we thought we had Covid, the second time we did! Now nearly 12 months into our Swedish adventure, we finally made it. A mere 90min direct train from…
2020: A Year in Review
So where to start….? We had only two certainties about 2020 when we started the year. We were going to be leaving Japan this year and we were going to leave in the July. Apart from that, we had no plans, no idea where we were going next. It was going to be an exciting…
