It is my last night in umeå. my bags are packed more or less and my room is cleaned. it's hard to believe that it's the end of a journey that i've dreamt about for years and took months to plan. being in sweden has made me poorer than ever but every krona was worth it. i've made friends from …

Impressions from my ongoing trip.

So after a spontanious question one dark midwinter afternoon in Sweden this is where we ended up for this summer. We'll write about our happenings, tips, thoughts, pictures and fun. To keep some of the of the ones left behind unworried and others perhaps a little bit amused. If you are in Ireland and are looking for friends, just send a message, we aren't always as scary as we look!; )

In February 2009 I visited Umeå, Sweden on my own to see two of my best friends for 7 days. This was the first time I went on vacation by my self. This vacation was all about the snow! We wanted to do something fun. So we ride with a Husky sledge, visited the wintercampus on the University, followed a Swedish lesson and we walked around the Nadalasjön Lake. The Husky sledge ride was a very nice experience. The view in the night was so beautiful unfortunatly is was very cold (-30 degrees).

After travelling through out Sweden the previous winter I went back for another 3 weeks and also 3 weeks in Germany to for Christmas and New Year.
