Are you exited about fika as we were back in 2024 Easter?

Food tradition in Sweden is very much the same to Norwegian one. They both share the love for flatbreads and crunchy breads, simple bread spreads, pickled herring, sweet pickled vegetables and a lot of international foods, like burgers or Asian. The only difference is an afternoon sweet break that i...

Final leg of our Spanish adventure back in 2023 ( I am really bad at keeping up with our travels, or maybe we should slow down?) 🤭

Our last leg of the Italian Spanish trip was an afternoon in Madrid. The transfer options were better to ride the train from Malaga and take Vueling flight from Madrid than a direct Norwegian flight from Malaga. What can I say. The Norwegians are expensive. Regardless the transport catch, it was act...
