This is what I love about these kinds of events 🧀🤍🇸🇪

We stopped by one of the cheese stands at the International Food Festival @ifoodfestival in Bäckebol and it turned into a full mini masterclass.

The owner @la_rustika_sweden just took the mic and ran with it, explaining everything from where different meats come from for salami, to the difference between Parmesan and Grana Padano… (and yes, he’s Italian, so you know it was serious 😄)

At some point I just accepted my role was:
🎤 hold the mic
👀 listen
🧀 learn

And honestly? Perfect arrangement.

This wasn’t sponsored, just genuinely one of those moments where the atmosphere is so good and the people are so passionate that you end up staying longer than planned… and leaving with cheese 🫶

PS Keep an eye also on Dutch cheese stand - we brought home amazing goudas too 🤩

Have you ever gone to “just look around” and left with way more than you planned? 👀

🚨 A Swedish parliament vote just sparked major controversy.

A proposal linked to stricter citizenship rules was rejected by just ONE vote: 147 to 146.

But here’s what’s causing backlash:
👉 Two MPs from Sweden Democrats voted – even though they were officially marked as absent under the “kvittning” system.
👉 That system is meant to keep things fair when politicians can’t attend.
👉 Their votes ended up deciding the outcome.

Opposition parties are now calling it:
❌ manipulation
❌ undemocratic
❌ “like cheating”

Several parties want the vote to be repeated.

And now the whole system behind these agreements is being questioned.

📌 This decision could affect around 100,000 people waiting for citizenship in Sweden.

💬 Comment SEND and I’ll share my article and podcast episode about these changes and how lack of transitional rules affect applicants AND Sweden as a country.

International Food Festival @ifoodfestival just arrived to Göteborg! 🌍🇸🇪

Gothenburg just turned into a global food tour with the International Food Festival in Bäckebol… of course, I came hungry.

Around 40 food stalls from 24 countries in one place.

What we tried:
🇻🇪 chicken arepas
🇵🇱 pierogi from “Taste of Poland” @the_taste_of_poland
and we also asked the sellers which Polish dishes people in Sweden usually love the most 👀
🇰🇷 Korean BBQ with beef
…and my first ever kimchi 👀

The atmosphere?�Busy, multicultural, slightly chaotic… but in a very good way.

And this is just part one. More from this festival coming soon 👀

📍 Bäckebol, Gothenburg�🗓️ 29 April – 3 May�🕔 Wed–Sat: 11:00–20:00�🕔 Sun: 11:00–17:00

If you’re in Gothenburg, you still have a few days to go.
Which country would you go for first? 👇

🇸🇪 Sweden just approved stricter citizenship rules with no transitional protection.

From June 6, the basic requirement will change from 5 years in Sweden to 8 years in most cases.

There will also be new rules around income, conduct, language skills and knowledge about Swedish society.

The controversial part?
There are no transitional rules for people who already applied under the old system.

A government-appointed council recommended transitional protection for applicants already in the system. Legal experts also warned against moving forward without it.

But the government still went ahead and ignored those warnings, including advice from the council it had appointed itself.

Opposition parties asked for protection for those applicants, but it did not pass.

For many immigrants in Sweden, this is not just a political debate. It may affect their future directly.
And for Sweden, it raises a bigger question about trust in the system.

Comment SEND and I’ll send you what I previously wrote about why this can be dangerous.

We stopped by the @vegan.market.gbg but the weather had other plans, so it turned into a quick visit rather than a full day out.

BUT I did get to catch up with @birdietam.art 🤍

We first met at a market in Malmö, where I immediately fell in love with her ceramics… but she does even more beautiful things (not just ceramics 👀)

Then a quick food stop at Stora Saluhallen for a bánh mì baguette… and honestly? Solid. Very solid.

Also… small moment for me:
this was my presenter debut 🎤😭
and there’s more of this coming soon, with proper little interviews in future reels.

If you missed this one, don’t worry, the next Vegan Market in Gothenburg is coming in July, hopefully with slightly less dramatic weather.

Would you go even in wind and rain, or are you waiting for the summer edition? 👀

🇵🇱 News NOT from Sweden today, but this deserves even more attention 🫶

Two days ago I recorded that Poland had raised 13 million złoty for the Cancer Fighters Foundation.

Now it is already over 123 million złoty, and by the time you read this, this number is probably outdated again.

Polish TikToker and influencer Piotr* “Łatwogang” Garkowski @latwogang has been running a 9-day charity livestream, and the whole country seems to have joined in.

People are donating, shaving their heads, getting tattoos, celebrities are appearing, and the stream has already beaten MrBeast’s livestream fundraising record.

And now?
Aftonbladet @aftonbladet wrote about it in Sweden 🇸🇪🇵🇱

Brawo Polska. Keep going. Good luck on this final day!

* I quoted Aftonbladet on that and haven’t even notice after following the stream nearly all night long. But leaving it here so maybe comments about it will make the video reach more people because it’s really something that deserves more attention ❤️

COMMENT “HF” TO GET LINK TO DISCOUNT 👇

I’m testing HelloFresh and this is the first recipe we picked 👀

With my code you can get 20 meals from 44 SEK per portion, which is honestly such a good deal if you want to try it without committing long term.

If you don’t know how it works:
you choose your meals online, they send you pre-measured ingredients + step-by-step recipes, and you just cook at home 🍝

What I personally LOVE so far:
✅ nothing gets wasted (huge for me)
✅ recipes are super simple
✅ and somehow… it actually turned out really good 😅

This is an affiliate collaboration, so I may earn a small commission if you order through my link, at no extra cost to you 💛
