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.

We’re leaving Sweden’s fika vibes behind and heading to the sunny south - Croatia, the true master of my all-time favourite dish: calamari 🦑☀️

Over a week we drove up and down Istria tasting plate after plate.
 Result: 5 spots that nailed it and 1 place that turned my love affair into a chewing marathon I wouldn’t wish on you.

Swipe to see the winners and the one epic fail ➡️

Need the details? Prices, Google-map pins, and more photos are all on the blog - link in bio.

Tried any of these? Got a better calamari tip? Drop it in the comments 💬
 Save this post for your Croatia itinerary and share it with your travel buddy - it might save them from rubbery disappointment!

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 🎥

I let ChatGPT Plan My ENTIRE Gothenburg trip - Here’s What Happened! 🤖✨
 So I asked ChatGPT to create a solo walking itinerary for me - no tourist traps, no trams, just hidden gems, good fika and local vibes.
 ...and then I actually followed it. Like, every step. 😅

📍The result? One of the most random, fun, and surprisingly perfect solo travel days I’ve ever had in Sweden.

Want to see how it went? From giant cinnamon buns to street art tunnels, it’s all in the vlog 🎥
