Lindö Udde is one of the most southern points in Blekinge county, southern Sweden, that you can reach by car. Hence you are treated to vast uninterrupted sea views and bird life. It is a smallish area, but is a great one to explore. There is a good hiking trail marked around the edge of the peninsula, along the stony shore, …
Gö naturreservat is situated in the southern Swedish county of Blekinge. It is one of our favourite places to spend a few hours or a whole day, whatever the season. We have been wild camping, cooked outdoors on some of the fire pits and baked cinnamon bread, hunted for geocaches, paddled in its shallows, and climbed up several of its trees. Gö is one of …
Sälen is the biggest ski resort in Scandinavia. We recently headed off for a SkiStar Sälen holiday, being able to experience skiing in the country we live in for the first time. We were not disappointed and had a fantastic time on our SkiStar Sälen holiday. This post discusses the facilities you can find on a SkiStar Sälen holiday. There are …
Throughout our first two years of living in Blekinge, southern Sweden, we have explored a lot of islands and nature reserves in a bid to learn about the area we live in. It was very hard to whittle the list down to 11 places to visit in Blekinge, and there are many other places we have visited which have been beautiful …

The Blekinge Museum is a fantastic place to visit (free for children, and adults only need to pay in the summer months). It can be found in the centre of Karlskrona, and although I was initially wondering whether my three would enjoy a trip there (indoor exhibitions are not really their thing), I was really pleasantly surprised. Although, after two …
Karlskrona Marinmuseum offers an in depth look at Swedish naval history. The museum is currently free, and is well worth a visit if you are in Karlskrona, in Southern Sweden. It is housed in a lovely building, and done really well with lots of interactive features for children (and buttons to press for twin 1, who if he ever came …
A large part of our motivation for moving abroad was our children, and giving them what we felt was a better lifestyle than we could in the UK. Not better in terms of more things or money, but in terms of quality. However, it is important to remember that this blog post is based on our (so far) two year …
Rural life in Sweden is beautiful, and living here has given us different opportunities. We have made some lovely new friends since moving here, and one of those owns the sheep farm on our little island. Being a small island, he welcomes people into his barn, especially children, to get up close to the animals. The children’s daycare even takes …
