📍Kungsleden (Part II)
A few tips on camping in Swedish Lappland during summer:

🏕 Be prepared for looots of rain and very cold nights. Most pictures online are with beautiful weather, but that's not usually the case! Remember that weather changes quickly up north in the mountains. Trust me, you'll be thankful of having a beanie at night.

🏕 Also prepare yourself for mosquitoes since there will be more than you've ever experienced. Not exaggerating here, they bite through the clothes and are around all day long. I highly recommend getting a head net and loads of repellent (I finished 2 bottles in a month) and I also heard there exist mosquito-proof shirts!

🏕 Might sound obvious, but really make sure to pack light since every gram matters. If it's your first time, this might be one of the hardest parts, so I would recommend that you "practice" and pack everything as you would for the trail, and go for a 10-12km hike somewhere close to test it and see how it feels. Same with the rest of the gear, make sure to test it beforehand to know if those boots fit well, keep your feet dry etc

🏕 Tell your family and friends well in advance that you'll have no reception for days/weeks. Being disconnected is one of the highlights of the trail, but you don't want to worry them too much 😅.

🏕 Things are quite expensive up there, so it's smart to buy food beforehand, at least for the first couple of days. People also sent parcels in advance so they would receive them when they arrived at the beginning of each big section.

🏕 No need to carry a very big bottle of water since you can refill almost everywhere around. It's a luxury that you can drink directly from streams, lakes and rivers, tastes amazing!

🏕 Download a good maps app that include trails and infos about where to find shelters, etc offline (I use maps.me, it works a treat).

🏕 Also helpful to find something to keep you occupied in the evenings, especially if you hike on your own. I carried a very small book and a notebook to journal my day-to-day. A friend had juggling balls, a harmonica... You might boost your creativity while being there 🙂

📍Kungsleden (Part I)
Last summer I had one of the best experiences I've had so far. For those of you that know me, you must be tired of hearing me talking about Kungsleden and how amazing it is. But for those of you that don't know what it is, you might want to learn about it.

Kungsleden is a trail that runs through northern Sweden from Hemavan to Abisko, crossing the Arctic Circle on the way. In total, it is a bit over 400km of breathtaking landscape that change by the day. 400km might sound scary at the beginning, but don't worry! It's divided in sections so you can decide to do a shorter hike that is more manageable. Most popular section is Abisko-Nikkaluokta (approx 7 days total). Might also be the one with most dramatic scenery and better supplied with food and stugas, so a good choice for 1st time campers. If you like a little bit more of solitude I highly recommend you to continue a bit further down and enjoy the other parts of the trail.

In the next post I'll be giving some tips and comments based on my experience, hope it helps! 🏔

In the old days, no buildings were allowed to be built higher than churches. In Stockholm's old town, the outstanding tops are still from churches.

I always start unconsciously counting for how many churches I can see whenever I am standing on a place that overlooks the old town.

Since I first came to Stockholm at the height of winter, I was told millions of times to wait until summer and see how different the whole city could be🍧🥝🍉
After months of cold dark winter, summer is finally upon us! 🍍
One thing that I enjoy most now is summer tanning in a scenic spot🏝

Happy Pride Month everyone 🌈

Scrolling down through my gallery thinking of what to post today, I saw these pictures and thought it was good timing to post them. This is actually Stockholm's metro (aka T-bana) which is incredibly beautiful. Did you know that it's considered world's longest art exhibit (110km long)? Here are the most beautiful stations you can visit:

🚇 Stadion (1st pic)
🚇 T-centralen (2nd pic)
🚇 Odenplan
🚇 Kungsträdgården
🚇 Solna Centrum (3rd pic)
🚇 Tensta
🚇 Thorildsplan
🚇 Universitet (for science nerds like me)
