Nostalgia hits hard 🥹

While I was growing up in Poland, fully invested in the adventures of Reksio and Bolek i Lolek, kids in Sweden had a totally different childhood lineup 🇵🇱💔🇸🇪

If you were raised in Sweden in the late 80s, 90s or early 2000s, these things were probably part of your everyday life.

Swipe through the 9 slides and let me know:
👉 Which one hit you right in the childhood?
👉 Or what’s YOUR ultimate Swedish memory that didn’t make the list?

I complain about PostNord like it’s a national sport:

❌lost packages
❌ delayed deliveries
❌ random “we tried to reach you” slips…

But I will say this:
Their stamps? Actual stickers.
Peel. Stick. Done.

Meanwhile in Poland, where I come from, stamps still come with a glue layer.

You either lick them (ick 🤮), wet them with a sponge (if you’re classy), or rub them on your jeans and hope for the best.

So yeah. One point for PostNord.
Just one. Don’t get used to the praise.

🚧 Planning a summer yard sale or flea market? Read this first!

🪧 Homemade “LOPPIS ➡️” signs placed too close to the road are usually illegal.

📏 Road area = roughly 10 m from the asphalt edge on small roads, up to 15 m on big highways like the E18. On tiny country lanes it can be as little as 3 m.

🚗 Why the fuss? Big, hand-painted boards can block sightlines and cause real crash risks, says Trafikverket.

🚫 No permit? Crews can remove the sign on sight. Fines are rare, but takedowns happen all the time.

Want to stay on the right side of the law? ✅ Put your sign outside the road area and get the land-owner’s approval. ✅ Or apply for an official, regulation-style sign from Trafikverket. ✅ Private roads follow the land-owner’s rules, but safety still matters.

Fun fact: estate-agent arrows are the most common offenders, yet big loppis boards are labelled the bigger risk.

Nordic family drama: centuries in the making 🇸🇪🇳🇴🇫🇮🇩🇰

Their family history includes a lot of forced unions.

🇸🇪 Sweden and Norway were stuck together from 1814 to 1905. 🇫🇮 Finland was basically part of Sweden for six centuries. And 🇩🇰 Denmark would like a word too, but that’s another meme.

Meanwhile in Skåne (the southern part of Sweden), some people online occasionally joke about independence... But no, there’s no Skåne-exit planned. Just memes. Lots of memes.

Maybe that’s why relationships up north are complicated (but hilarious 😂).
They’re not just neighbors. They’re exes, step-siblings, and frenemies rolled into one frosty family portrait 🙈
 Long history, deep roots, and plenty of sibling roasting ❤️💥

🇸🇪 Sweden lowered its terror threat level just weeks ago and bag bans at events were lifted.

But now, after U.S. warnings of increased risk following attacks in the Middle East, Säpo calls the situation “serious” and is re-evaluating the threat against Sweden.

Could new restrictions return? Nothing’s confirmed but the security agency says they’re keeping a close eye.

👀 Stay tuned for updates.

POV: You’re wandering around Gothenburg solo, romanticizing your life… until your phone dies halfway up a hill and you have no idea where the next café is ☠️🔋
 Cue me, frantically looking for a powerbank like my entire existence depends on it (because let’s be honest - it kinda does).

📍This chaotic little moment was just one part of my full Göteborg day trip - I visited street art hideouts, vintage streets, secret viewpoints and food spots that won’t break the bank.
 If you’re into slow travel, solo adventures and seeing the city like a local, the full vlog is waiting for you on YouTube 🎥

✨ Link in bio - come spend the day in Sweden with me!
