Hello Again Travel, Hello Stockholm!

Lagom : not too much, not too little, just right

After almost three years with no foreign travel I was finally able to tick the beautiful city of Stockholm off my bucket list! I don’t know if it was due to my love of ABBA or that simple Scandinavian lifestyle that I’m drawn to, but something about Stockholm was calling out, and what better to have kickstarted travelling again with somewhere completely new!

A city filled with colourful and characteristic architecture, cobbled streets leading from island to island, a culture that encourages you to find life’s balance and that all important tradition of Fika! Stockholm is a city that everyone needs to visit at least once in their lifetime to experience that high vibing energy. Although a second Winter had hit during my April visit with temperatures dropping to -6 (I’m sure nothing compared to their actual winter temperatures) I couldn’t help but notice how re-energised I felt. It was so easy to switch off from the real world and focus completely on the surroundings of this beautiful new city and dreamy islands. I don’t think I’ve ever come away from somewhere feeling so happy and so sad all at the same time because I did not want to leave its way of life! There is something to be said for just how special a place is when you feel like you have left a piece of your heart there and turns out that Stockholm is that special place for me. I can now see why so many decide to up and relocate there after their trips!

*Postcard stories from beautiful Stockholm*

Although I did not get to experience a proper Stockholm sunset, I did get to see it blanketed in a light (and unexpected) covering of snow, making my trip even more special and giving me a reason to visit again! I would love nothing more than to explore more of its hidden gems and more of Sweden itself, maybe rent out one of those cute little red houses to watch a sunrise / sunset on one of those many lakes…

Now to visualise… and for Belfast to start a direct route!
