The Little Canuck: Musings From a New Land |
Moving to a new country provokes thoughts, ideas, feelings, and realizations that I never would have expected before I uprooted my life in Canada to move to the heart of Scandinavia. For any fellow Canucks or other nationalities out there who have moved to (or are planning to move to) Sweden, consider this your anecdotal what-to-expect survival guide! Sweden is my home now, so join me as I continue my overseas adventures and share my reflections, opinions and (alas!) often embarrassing confessions on a plethora of topics! ONE LAST THING! If you have received a follow or a like from me and were expecting a veggie-related blog, you've come to the right girl, just not the right place. www.eatconsciouslylivekindly.tumblr.com is where you'll find all things vegan. :) Enjoy! |
Fika in Sweden
When it comes to life in Sweden, this couldn’t be more true. I only wish that people were a little more health-minded when it comes to the constant snacks and “naughty” food. But c’est la vie!

I’m home! Indecently glorious amounts of maple syrup at the local Saturday morning farmer’s market. Clearly I had no choice but to partake in enjoying the sweet, natural Canadian goodness :).
I’m on my way back to the motherland tomorrow!
For three glorious Tim Horton’s-filled, maple leaf-loving, english-speaking weeks, I’ll be back home visiting friends, family, and celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving at the cottage. I love Sweden, but sometimes a little vacation home is just what a gal needs. Balance is key.
What does this mean for my blog? LOTS of posts, I hope! I’m thinking that three separate flights back to Toronto will be more than ample time to conjure up some long-awaited stuff for you guys.
It’s packing time now, however, so I look forward to posting from ‘the other side’ soon!
What happens when you scream in Sweden (Stockholm) at night.
haha, vad roligt!
(oh you Swedes. I love you guys, you’re all so cute.)
