Bratislava’s beautiful Old Town, close to the decently good and well located Crowne Plaza Bratislava where I stayed. Last weekend I visited the Slovak capital of Bratislava. I’ve been wanting to visit the city for quite a while, and finally it was time. The easiest way to get there, at least from Stockholm, is to… Continue reading Bratislava, Slovak wine country and Vienna

The Finnish 110 year party, Ravintola Olo and Helsinki
Helsinki Cathedral in the central parts of the city. Spent another weekend in Finland recently. The reason for the short trip was that my two aunts turned 60 and 50 years old, and thus they held a 110 year birthday party in the Finnish woods. Since the party venue lacked running water and electricity, we… Continue reading The Finnish 110 year party, Ravintola Olo and Helsinki
Thai first class in pictures
We were most fortunate to have saved up on our Eurobonus (Scandinavian Airline’s frequent flier programme) miles last year, and using them we booked a trip that was really, really something. The trip started in Stockholm and continued on to Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Bangkok and finally Manila, Philippines, where our first stop was. We then returned home… Continue reading Thai first class in pictures
Eating in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Recently visited South America for a three week trip which started on New Years Eve in the fantastic city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Except for fabulous beaches, friendly people and the world’s largest urban jungle there is plenty of good food to be found. We arrived the legendary city early new years eve,… Continue reading Eating in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Eating in fantastic Singapore
After our recent visit to Manila and Boracay, we ended the trip with a visit to one of my favorite cities in the world: Singapore. We flew sort of direct (a short stop in Cebu, then back onboard the same plane) from Boracay with Singapore Airline’s “low cost” affilliate Silkair, which proved to be very… Continue reading Eating in fantastic Singapore

The best Boracay food and restaurants
Sitting on the plane bound for Singapore at the moment and thinking back on the Boracay experiences from the last seven days. Boracay, as you may know, is an island in the South China Sea, mainly famous for its pretty beaches, more specifically “White Beach”. Prana Restaurant But if you know me, you know it… Continue reading The best Boracay food and restaurants
Eating in Manila
After an amazing flight in Thai Airways’ first class (no, I did not win the lottery, I just saved up on air miles) we touched down at Ninoy Aquino International Airport for three days of eating and exploring the Filipino capital and mega city Manila. Since we got a really nice price (for a Peninsula)… Continue reading Eating in Manila
A weekend of pasta in Rome
Visited Rome in November 2015 for a weekend of eating, sightseeing and general indulgence. My judgement might be slightly affected by the fact that I totally love Italian food and that the weather was 20 degrees celsius and the sun was shining. Something very important for a Swede coming from the borderline winter that is November. In… Continue reading A weekend of pasta in Rome
Four days in the Maldives
Since visiting Fiji a couple of years ago while living and studying in Sydney, Australia, I’ve had a desire to visit more island paradise places. Fortunately for me, we had a trip for a friends’s birthday in Thailand coming up in March, earlier this year, and managed to find a ticket that would take us from Stockholm to Male,… Continue reading Four days in the Maldives
