Spanish lesson
I can recommend this book if you, like me are on beginners level and want to learn Spanish. Like how simple and clean they’ve structured the book.
Noticed I look a little hunchback:d in the first picture 🙂 🙂 But its okey, I’ll give you that anyway.
Sitting here having my tea and trying to learn Spanish. Going pretty well I must say 🙂 Regret not taking classes and being a coward not practicing the language while I was actually living in the damn country! But, no need to think about it now. Its done and I can start now instead. I do know quite alot, at least I do understand alot. What I need is to practice speaking. I’ve decided This is my book for the long flight back home. Traveling from Sweden to Australia gives you well enough hours to learn a new language haha.
Just wanted to look in and say hi. Have an lunch date with an old friend I haven’t seen in years so got to run. She is waiting downstairs to pick me up. More about that later. xx

Raw sushi & Grill
Spending days with this chubby little thing <3
Here is some pictures from my lovely Saturday. I started with waking up at 6am, did some meditation, work, small breakfast. And then at 9am I got super tired and went back to bed like a weirdo for about an hour. Not like me at all!
Forced myself to get up, had a shower and made plans to go to my cousins house, we planed to get some tan in her backyard. Its rarely very sunny in Sweden so you have to capture the moment as soon as the sun is out!But of course we got tired of just lying there so after an hour or two we took the whole family out to the city for some shopping. Very bad idea. It was hot and humid. Everyone else had apparently decided to do the same. And it was a massive sale going on. So I took her three children for some ice coffee and cake at NK while Mona and John did his shopping. So much nicer.
Around 6pm we all started to get hungry and I was promised one of the best sushi restaurants in the city.
It called Raw Sushi & Grill and its located at Rörstrandsgatan 9 on St Eriksplan in Stockholm. I can recommend this place to all you sushi lovers visiting or living in Stockholm.
I also had 2 cocktails, of course 🙂 It felt like a “must do” on a beautiful summer nights like that.
First the one I always take; Whiskey Sour, not a hit at this place unfortunately. Second, I had an Raspberry Mojjito, which was much better.The plan was to finish te evening with a movie at their place but in the car on the way back I felt that maybe its time to go back to the apartment. I had been with them since breakfast haha
Love days like this. I want to spend as much time as possible with the people I love here in Sweden before returning back home.
Have a great night amore’s. xx______________________________________________

Boring
There is no way around say it. Today I was bored. So damn bored! It was all boring. That rarely happens to me anymore so it was a strange an slightly annoying feeling. All I could think about was all the things I could do with my time, all the things I should be doing. But somehow I could not get myself to workout or study Spanish, NLP or whatever the hell is useful.
Instead I was just annoyed. Annoyed and disappointed of myself. I wanted to go outside for a powerwalk but it was raining all day. And whats shitty is that I could actually feel myself secretly enjoying that the rain stopped me from my powerwalk.The only positivism I can get is that I am now that much “alert”, that much aware and conscious, that I get these moments. Usually we tend to just continue as we do/are, even if its negative, even if its harming us. Why? Because our mind loved safety, familiarity and focusing on fear. It takes alot of “training” to get out of the conditioned mind. The mind that just wants to continue in the same old patterns. Lazy piece of shit hahah.
So I went out on a powerwalk anyway. That is my only story of the day. Perhaps not so much fun but it is as it is today. Goodnight.

Korean lunch & Hotel Diplomat
Today has been a day spent in the city. I left to meet my cousin Sara and she walked with me while I did some of errands. Fist stop was the camera store where we kindly asked Mats (the owner) to take some pictures of us in front of one of their fancy light equipment. I love the light it puts in your face! This equipment probobly have a pretty name but I just know it as “light thing that makes you prettier”.
Then it was lunch time and we walked down Kungsgatan towards a Korean place with one of the best Bibimbap in Stockholm. At least in my opinion. Sara tried their Bento Box and she loved it. The only “negativity” one can say about this place one could say is that their portions are too big. I never manage to finish it unfortunately. Then Sara wanted to do some shopping so I kindly walked with her for a while. I usually don’t like shopping, especially with someone. But I finally convinced her to have a coffee instead at Wienercafee’t. I always try and visit this pretty place whenever I am in Sweden. Love their interior design.
Around 5pm, I exchanged Sara for my friend Suzie. She left work early to come meet me since she is leaving town for a week and there is a big possibility that I am in Australia by the time she’s back.
We choose to eat something small at Hotel Diplomat. We sat and talked for an hour or two before heading back.Now I just had a super hot bath, watched some Masterchef Australia, the only one worth watching. I am sitting looking at my Visa, Insurance and flight tickets. Soon time for bed. Alot going on tomorrow and I want to wake up earlier than my usual 7:30 am. Have a great day wherever you are. xx

Grateful goodbyes
I just finished Tony Robbins “Creating an Extraordinary Quality of Life” so I am pretty hyped hahah, but I try to check in here anyway.
Before I continue about my day, I will leave the link to the Tony Robbins video I just watched at the end. Just in case any of you are curious… I did not just watch, I actually did every crazy thing he asks you to do. Try it for yourself.
Its been alot going on today as always when my family are together. Last night my little sister decided she was gonna sleep next to me. Manages to wake me up 3 times, whereas one of those times was to tell me that I breath strangely so she cannot sleep next to me….
She basically woke up all of us at one stage or another. Then I woke up around 7:30, we all had breakfast together and after run around doing some last minute errands. Came back to the apartment had a huge lunch because I wanted them to finish up everything in the fridge. And then the taxi came which was not so nice. We released that we are probobly not going to see each other for a at least a couple of months, maybe up to a year. And we all started crying. I love my family so much and I am so proud of them. All of them. As their cab was driving away, all I could feel was gratitude that they live in Barcelona where I know they feel great. Its comforting to know they are happy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-1cwcrg1Ks

watermelon
Good morning!I have to say, my picture looks like an ad for Apetina feta cheese 🙂 Its nice weather, I have been up for a while now, waiting for the rest to get up. My sister Hanie was out having dinner and drinks with some friends last night so she needed to sleep in. At least that’s what my mum told us so I was forced to be quite and let Hanie sleep until around 10 am. I was up at 7:30 so incredibly annoying and hard to stay quiet for that long.
Anyway, we all had a nice breakfast together where I am trying to get them to eat up everything left in the fridge. They are leaving back to Barcelona tomorrow evening and I don’t want to be stuck with all the leftovers.
Todays plan is to now slowly getting ready and go into the city for a seafood soup lunch.

Summer in Sweden
Sorry sorry sorry for my absence. But these last days all my time and energy has been going towards spending time with family and friends. I released today that my sister and my mum are leaving in just a couple of days so I want all my focus to go to them. I will soon leave this place and go home, until then I think I will do alot of typical “Swedish” stuff. Promise that I am going to try to take you guys with me 🙂
Lets start with yesterdays lovely BBQ…
We had a bbq evening that never ended haha. When you live abroad as me and my sisters, its always extra fun to spend some time and just hang out with friends and family. Just wish Ambrose was here. Swedish summer and bbq. So many memories from growing up here 🙂

Hallwylska Palatset – Hamngatan 4

sisters
Yesterday I drove to the airport ( way to early out of excitement ) to pick up my 2 sister !!
Had not seen them in about 11 months so was sitting here in the car counting the minutes until their plane arived from Barcelona. Also found one of my favorites on Snap while I was waiting hahaha So damn good!
This is tradition. I am always going to a hotel breakfast with Hanie and Jasmin when we are together in a country together. Always have, always will. This is Hotel Rival in Stockholm. Can highly recommend this place. Think they even have won an award for their breakfast.
After some shopping me and Jasmin sat down at Strandvägen 1 for a coffee break. Waiting for Hanie who had a meeting with the bride and groom to a wedding she is gonna be the photographer for.
I also got to see my dear friend Caroline. We released that we have not seen each other in 8 years. 8 years !!?!?!
She has 2 lovely children now and they live on the canary islands.
