Have yourself a very Merry Swedish Christmas! Yes, I’m busy writing up the nitty-gritty of the Iron Curtain and all the details of the #ironroute project but let’s not forget where I was just before that!

Sugary Sweden
Can sweet hearts, scented soap and cosy candles tell you everything about a country? Of course not. Can they warm you with simple Christmas cheer? Of course! So, sit back, relax and enjoy – have a very merry Swedish Christmas! I’ll be back with #ironroute seriousness soon enough…









Disclosure – I went to Skäne as a guest of Visit Sweden. All views, words and fika tastings are all my own. As usual…And I wouldn’t write about anything here unless I thought it would be useful and interesting. Otherwise, well, what’s the point?







Hi, I'm Abi, a journalist who swapped a career as a doctor for a life on the road. 



I love these photos. So cheery! They make me want to go (even more) to Sweden!
Yep, there’s such a feel-good factor to their decorations. Hearts and warmth everywhere. I loved it.
These are absolutely gorgeous photos, Abi. I really want to visit the Christmas markets some year, though I am a bit curious about the funky boxer shorts.
Ha! Aren’t they great? It seemed such a curious mix…Sweet hearts and sugar combined with some very racy Christmas clothes…Those boxers were just the start!
