Around a week ago I returned from a 2 week work visit to Sweden. It also allowed me to visit some very dear family and friends that I have over there.
The 10th of January 2019 marked 30 years to the day that I arrived in Sweden to spend a year as an exchange student.
This was an incredible experience for me given up until then, I'd hardly even travelled outside my home state.
I lived with the Lindqvist family in a town called Umeå, way up in northern Sweden. The Lindqvists, Lena and Sven Olof, are a second family to me. I have two brothers plus nieces and nephews. They feel as close to my heart as true family does.
Sweden is my second home. I speak Swedish, I have friends and family there and I just love the place.
I'll keep this short and sweet and let the photos do the talking.
Suffice it to say, it's picture-postcard beautiful, especially in winter. Coldest day we had was -22. Even the Swedes though it was cold 🙂
This is Part 1 of the Sweden blog - a photo essay. A collection of some favourites images I took whilst away.
Part 2 is a video of the trip, coming soon ...
For now, enjoy a little taste of Sverige.
