Around the house

Here are some impressions of my first couple of days of living here in Sweden.

However, the most amazing thing: I step out of the door and there is silence. No noise but bird song and the wind in the trees!!!

Exodus

EW April 30, 2025

Well, it was not an easy decision and it was brewing for months if not years.

I already had the camping equipment removed from Big Paul and now I stuffed all my belongings into Paul’s belly.

It’s never easy to leave home. Especially not, when I am moving far away.

First stop was the ferry terminal.

I was lucky and got an almost newly renovated cabin – clean and everything worked properly.

The crossing was smooth, the sea quiet. Nevertheless, I did not get much sleep due to sheer excitement.

Cloudy, rainy weather greeted me on my arrival. That, however, could not dampen my spirits.

After an eight hour drive, I reached my new home. I was tired, but happy and started right away with the unloading …

Heja Sverige!

I’m here now to explore living in a new country and a new culture. Biggest challenge will be to master the language …

That’s it for now. More to come.

A short Trip to Sweden

EW December 12, 2024

Ahead of Christmas, time seems to slow down again and gives us the leisure to take care of our little blog again.

Lately, we hopped into Big Paul and headed North again.
Considering the low temperatures, we decided to rent a little house rather that sleeping in the van.

Of course, we took some videos and published a clip on YouTube: https://youtu.be/o-0fiQ-HLms

Below some impressions of the area around:

That’s it for now. More to come.

Let’s put it to the Test

GEF December 12, 2024

Sunshine, great landscape, friendly people, a lot of fun… It’s easy to love a place in the best of times: On summer vacation.

How does the same place feel, when the circumstances are less pleasurable? When it’s cold, dark and grey and the world seems to be deserted?

We put it to the test and returned to Sweden for a short trip in the most unattractive season – at the end of November.

When we left the ferry, Sweden welcomed us with dull skies, drizzle and chilling winds.

But as soon as we arrived at our „stuga“, a nice little vintage cabin in the countryside that we rented for a week, the weather fairy swung her magic wand.

Just take a look:
