Today has been a tough day, but I’ve learned a lesson: Never expect too much from me before 9am – I’m simply not a morning person, and if faced with important tasks at unbearable hours, chances are, I will get it all wrong. I’m pretty sure I’ve been sleep walking in the airport this morning. [...]

There are many ways in which travel can go wrong. You may realize you’ve left your passport at home only when arriving at the airport. The accommodation you’ve booked is nothing similar to what you had expected. You got food poisoned the day before an 8 hour car ride across sunny Mexico. Maybe you were [...]

I haven’t been the best blogger lately. I’ve been posting as little as one blog a week and haven’t kept up with my schedule at all. In fact, I’ve been ignoring it for the last few weeks and now I’m facing 5 great post ideas I had that are no longer relevant. I mean, writing [...]

Does it ever get dark in this city? – I wondered while I looking over the city from the Gondolen Restaurant in Södermalm. This time of the year, the night usually starts to fall at 10pm and the days begin again at 3am – my friend answered. Isn’t it fantastic, to have 19 hours a [...]

I have the tendency to fall for expensive cities. What I can say – high living standards, overall efficiency and beautiful surroundings come with hefty price tags nowadays. After my first year in Switzerland, I had gotten so used to the prices that I no longer felt the need to complain about them. This doesn’t [...]

As we arrived in Stockholm and walked towards the tube station, it immediately hit us: the city has something magical and fairy-tale feel. Perhaps it’s the golden details of its majestic buildings, the round towers that make me wonder if a swedish Rapunzel is trapped up there or the way the dreamy street lights reflect [...]

As soon as I had booked my flight to Stockholm, I began to think about the consequences of my spontaneous decision. Sure, my flight was ridiculously cheap (probably the one and only advantage of flying with Ryanair) – but wasn’t Stockholm one of the World’s most expensive cities? Looking back at the SEK/EUR exchange rate [...]

Have you ever visited a city and thought this place is the prettiest during winter or this city is perfect for summer holidays? Maybe you’ve visited a city full of parks and rows of trees in every street, which makes it shine when their flowers start blooming in spring? Stockholm is, for me, a top [...]

I switched cities when I turned 18. Sunny Tenerife for busy Valencia (and shortly after, even busier Madrid). At that time, I had to say goodbye to people I cared about – to friends I grew up with, to my closest family. I knew I was returning eventually – for summer holidays, Christmas, Easter and [...]

Back at Uni, I learned about how psychology could explain the effects and anomalies of the stock market, which, in extreme cases, can lead to bubbles and market crashes. Wall Street from the Ferry – I know it looks calm from the outside, but inside it’s a Jungle! Well, some of these investor biases show [...]
