The fashionista in me is on hold. Traveling to Japan and had to bring skies and ski gear so not much room left for fancy stuff to wear... Puffy pants are on, practical uniqlo down jacket and walkable shoes. All my clothing has to fit Tokyo temperatures of +10-15 degrees C/40-50 degrees F and down to -10 degrees C/0 degrees F once we find ourselves in Niseko on Hokkaido! But until then sunny skies are lifting my spirit! … [Read more...] about Me & My Puffy Pants Are Out Traveling
Summer Travels in Sweden – Tänndalen
Best part of a hike is to have the Fika - coffee and cake! Going to our mountain house (our winter paradise) in the summer could depending on energy and time involve hiking, horse back riding, canoeing, chillin, evenings filled with playing cards or board games and of course a lot of wine and dine! This time we only had time for a couple of short trekking tours. As you can see by the scenery there's not much of a resemblance if compared to the Alpes or the Rockies, but with it's own charm. This time … [Read more...] about Summer Travels in Sweden – Tänndalen
Swedish Travels – Österlen

More About Martha’s Vineyard
Me and my family have always appreciated going out on islands in America. It's as though you leave the crowds and most of the circus behind and find a more relaxed and down to earth kind of atmosphere. Martha's was no exception. It's perfectly ok to be chillin in an old sundress and a crazy hairdo. My kind of place. Lovely! Three towns - each with it's own character, landscape created when ice retracted from the continent creating a beautiful landscape with such a variety over such a limited … [Read more...] about More About Martha’s Vineyard
Beachin Business
... what's that little red blob? It's me sporting my bikini pick of the year - retro style, high waisted and red. No close ups to be expected. The beach is to be found on Martha's Vineyard - an east coast US paradise, approx 300 km north of NYC! Not crowded, great beaches were you can choose to go for calm bayside or the waves on the oceanside, pickup trucks en mass, relaxed and layed back atmosphere, fantastic seafood, and not to forget, the omnipresent lifeguards (which is Europeans are so … [Read more...] about Beachin Business
