Lund University is located in Sweden’s southern Skane county. I get to enjoy Skane’s beautiful landscapes and an autumn that couldn’t be more beautiful. Skane county occupies Sweden’s southern peninsula. It is surrounded by water on three of its sides – Öresund, Kattegat and the Baltic Sea. You will not run into a shortage of nice […]

Hiya guys! You may have read on a previous post of mine (or not! It’s cool!) where I said that I moved to a new programme. I was originally in Uppsala studying my MA in Literature. But after a year of studying it, I realised it wasn’t quite right for me. So after a lot of […]

Can you tell that I had just watch Mamma Mia 2 and have that ABBA fever? Also, I would like to blame Emma’s podcast ‘Sweden and ABBA‘ for it. While I have ‘Our Last Summer’ by ABBA playing in my head, I want to share the memories that I had with my fellow digital ambassadors and […]

Two years of living in Sweden should have given me a clear picture of my monthly costs. Honestly, I do not.
