Stockholm-Sundsvall: A night at Elite Hotel Knaust This Christmas, we found ourselves with a few extra vacation days we needed to spend, and not wanting to spend them entirely on video games and Netflix in the sofa at home, – and prices for flying to the sun in Southern Europe and beyond already steep –… Continue reading 4 days in northern Sweden (Åre and Sundsvall) by train from Stockholm

Part 12: Where and what to eat in Bangkok
After arriving by train from Chiang Mai, we took the Bangkok MRT to our beautiful hotel, the Amara. We wanted to splurge on our six last days of vacation, so we upgraded to an executive floor room which apart from a better room also came with complimentary cocktails and canapees each night. And I’m very… Continue reading Part 12: Where and what to eat in Bangkok
Part 6: Luang Prabang
We arrived Luang Prabang and Laos by a comfortable direct 1.5 hour flight from Siem Reap in a Vietnamese Airlines airbus A320 (I do not love to fly in propellered planes that otherwise are common on domestic routes in the region). A top tip is to buy a local sim with a data package in… Continue reading Part 6: Luang Prabang
Five days of eating in Marrakech, Morocco
Just got back from a five day visit to the exciting and exotic Moroccan city of Marrakech. For once, we had not planned that much in advance, leaving it to our at-the-time cravings what we were to eat. We had a general idea about Moroccan food upon arrival, but in the end managed to eat… Continue reading Five days of eating in Marrakech, Morocco

7 really nice restaurants to eat at while in Santorini (and one GREAT bar)
Visited the amazingly pretty Greek island of Santorini a couple of weeks ago. While I’ve had plenty of Greek food in Sweden, there’s nothing like having a proper Greek salad with sun-ripe tomatoes, a juicy grilled souvlaki or a fluffy delicious gyros pita while soaking up the views of the deep blue Med, white chalk… Continue reading 7 really nice restaurants to eat at while in Santorini (and one GREAT bar)
My foodie happy place: Lau Pa Sat food market
Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, is a hawker centre that has fed Singaporeans since the 1800s. Situated smack bang in Singapore’s financial district, the classic building, filled with local eateries, is one of my favourite foodie places in the world.

Meat-mayo-marrow mayhem at Burnt Ends Singapore
One of 2017s best meals was at Burnt Ends Singapore, sort of an Australia meats (sorry) United States-style barbecue restaurant – in Singapore! Ranked as 10 on San Pellegrino’s Asia’s 50 best list, reservations is a must and we made ours a month or so in advance. We sat at the bar where dinner is… Continue reading Meat-mayo-marrow mayhem at Burnt Ends Singapore
