Sunrise at Mirador El Garbรญ ๐Ÿ“ทโ˜€๏ธ

A month ago I went to Andalucรญa. It was amazing, I visited castles, went to two fancy restaurants, took a million photos telling myself I would make an online gallery, maybe even print and frame a few… and I still haven’t downloaded, edited or even looked at the images. It’s a struggle! ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿ—บ

It’s been almost a year since my last post. Oops.

When we first moved to Spain, we rented an Airbnb for the first month in Castelldefels, a small town 30min by train from Barcelona.

Even though we didn’t stay long there, we fell in love with the local people and the city’s relaxed, easy going vibes. It was winter back then, so the next summer we came back to check the beach and yep, it was as amazing as we thought it would be! โ˜€๏ธ

Hi, I’m back! I haven’t posted in almost two years. Things have changed. I have changed. I moved to another city. I changed careers! Photography became my hobby and I didn’t know how to deal with it, with saying out loud I’m not a photographer anymore, I’m a frontend developer.

I don’t want my photos to be forgotten inside my computer drive. I have so many beautiful images to share! That’s why I’m back. This one is Barcelona beach, July 2018, the good ol' pre-Covid times.

While it’s true that the Swedish summer can be warm and nice, it usually isn’t. Most years are cold and rainy. There is always ONE week in July that’s quite perfect. Every five years there’s a heat wave that lasts two months. That’s it. The Swedish summer in a nutshell. โ˜”

Morocco, 2017.

Stockholm, 2018. Beautiful, as usual.

Barcelona, 2016. The week that changed everything.

I had no idea then that I would end up moving to Barcelona, quitting wedding photography, changing careers. All I know is, I’m living the life I’ve been dreaming about for the past 18 years!

Wild camping in Norway, 2016. This is one trip I’d love to do again!

One of the prettiest pueblos I’ve ever been to: Besalรบ, Catalunya.

Those past two days have felt so cold here in Barcelona. Wishing I could go back one month to an incredibly warm day visiting Tarragona.

Throwback to enjoying summer with my mom and our little trip to Valencia!

Loved visiting the medieval pueblo of Montblanc yesterday. So incredibly charming. Locals believe the famous fight between Saint George and the Dragon actually took place in the mountains surrounding the pueblo – and absolutely NOT in Cappadocia, as we have all been wrongly led to believe. Beautiful red roses grew where the dragon blood was spilled, and this is why Catalans gift roses to each other on the day of Sant Jordi. So now you know it too.

I take my dog every single day to the gardens behind Sagrada Familia. Who would have thought? - Barcelona, 2017.

A cozy winter morning in Barcelona.

Discovered this little street by chance. I want to live in a little house like this!
