Where did I go?

It’s been almost 3,5 months and I’m sure some of you might wonder where I went. To answer that question I would have to write a novel, which neither of us have the stamina or the time for.. So! The short story is that I did go on my planned trip to Italy, then Japan, returned to Sweden on the day of my graduation (which I had to run to, but that’s a different story!) followed by 2 months of me trying to deal with my depression.. After all I suddenly had a lot more time on my hands. It was time for me to deal with and take care of myself. 

I’m not close to being ok, but I’m ready for the next step and today I finally pulled myself together and started editing the first video of my adventure. It’s not much, but it’s a start and more is to come! Blog post, vlogs on youtube, and all those snack reviews I got piled up for you! I hope you are as happy about me being back, as I am. 🙂

My Travel Essentials!

The day is finally here!

As I’m leaving for Italy and Japan tomorrow I’ve been busy all day finishing my last school assignments and packing my bags, and I figured it would be fun to show you what I consider my most important travel essentials!

Monthly Update – April

What a crazy month it has been!

I have finished my internship at Brewhouse, been insanely stressed out about my trip (with good reason), worked on my last assignments for school before my graduation and spent more time travelling back and forth between my family home, visiting my parents, and my apartment in Gothenburg. One part of me is so extremely excited about the trip to Italy and Japan that I have a hard time believing that it is finally happening, and another part of me is trying to finsih everything that is related to school. This means that my mind is pretty much all over the place, but it’s not at all bad! The biggest change that came with April is my mental health. Now I’m at a point where I not only function like my normal self, but I’m also filled with excitement and anticipation, and my depression is very, very far away.

Tokyo Treat Shop – Part 2!

Not too long ago I received my very first box from the Tokyo Treat Shop (not to be confused with Tokyo Treat which is their subscription service) and I loved it so much that I decided to place another order. I picked the cheapest shipping cost for both boxes and while the first one came after 20 days, this one came a lot quicker (10 days). Despite the Pakkuncho Disney biscuits (which I got in the previous box) there were several new things to try!

Monthly Update – March

March of this year has probably been one of the most important months in years for me and the reason for that is that I’ve been pushing myself and learning about myself in ways I have never done before. Since November I have been dealing with severe depression, while trying to make decisions that will define my everyday life on a big scale – this is one of the most difficult things that I have ever had to do because the balance of not doing enough and overdoing is such a fine line, and it’s even more difficult when you struggle to get out of bed and getting food into your system. With this being said, I’m already doing a lot better since I got into my treatment, but I think most people see the more functional side of me and forget that basic things can really throw me off balance. I’m moving forward, but I have to take it one step at a time.

Tokyo Treat Shop!

With only one month left until I leave for Japan, what better way to celebrate than to get a taste of the country? 🙂 If you follow my blog, then you know that I just recently subscribed to the Tokyo Treat box, but as I found out that they also have a Tokyo Treat Shop where you can pick out and buy snacks and candy of your choice, I decided to gave it a try!

Budapest Adventures 2016 – Last Days

Here is my final vlog from the Budapest 2016 trip I took with Sarah last summer! We had a blast at the end of our trip despite the rain and the blisters on our feet, but my iphone memory ended up full and the internet connection turned out to be too slow for me to upload my material to Dropbox (which is why I just threw it all together into one final video). I hope you like it!

Monthly Update – February

It’s almost spring and I’m one month into my internship and only two months away from my trip to Italy and Japan. I’ve had a rough start this year, trying to figure out what I should do after graduation meanwhile I’m dealing with anxiety and depression and trying to get better. It’s a horrible feeling to watch time fly as you are trying your best to engage yourself, desperatly, into anything, and trying not to get stuck in the comfort of planning a trip.

I’m lucky enough to have my own space where I can breathe, and loved ones that make me laugh, and the curiousity to explore the world. Now I just have to find my way back to a place of excitement, strenght and motivation, and I do feel like every day brings me closer to it.

My Very First Tokyo Treat Box!

After a long, difficult week with a cold this wonderful surprise showed up at the post office! You might recall that I ordered my very first Tokyo Treat box a while back and let me tell you – it was totally worth the $34.99 I spent. The premium box was not only generous but the products were super fun and playful. Let me show you!

Budapest Adventures 2016 – Day Four

On the fourth day of our trip to Budapest, me and Sarah went to Margitszigit and explored the island’s many activities and had fun in the sun! You can read more about our trip here and keep an eye out for more videos! (There’s more to come).
