I'm not that into tea, so why visit a … Continue reading 5 reasons why you need to visit a tea plantation when in China!
When I started my very first blog I gave myself a holy promise to never write about my pain, because I didn't want to give it more focus than it already had in my life. Today I feel differently.

"Marknad i Fisherman's Village" was first published on my Swedish Blog. The best market on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, is without doubt the one in Fisherman's Village - needless to rub it in, but I simply love Fisherman's Village. By far the best beach on the island. As I've previously written every … Continue reading Fisherman’s Village Market
To suddenly stand amongst all the ruins in Side, Turkey almost felt like stepping back in time. I stayed at a pretty quaint hotel with that "ruin-feel", ruins all around and perfect location; almost just across the greek amphi theatre. The view from my hotel restaurant where I had my breakfast almost every morning … Continue reading Old memories: Ruins and everyday life from Side, Turkey
"Wat Plai Laem" was first published on my Swedish Blog. Sometimes when you go through your old photos, you're kind of amazed of what you find, and realise you haven't even posted them!
