June 2007

The summer has started in Sweden, gorgeous weather, blue skies and of course some wonderful sunsets. Yesterday evening we made a nice short walk towards lake Mälaren (about 10 minutes from our home) where we enjoyed this gorgeous sunset. The week has been wonderful with visits to Strängnäs, Stockholm and the Stockholm archipelago, I enjoyed my week off from work tremendously. And the weather.... yes, the best ever!!! Sun, sun and more sun :-)) Sweden really is beautiful during the month of June! Happy summer and happy travels everyone!

A bit about me...

Simone is my name. I am Dutch but now living in wonderful Sweden. One hobby of mine is photography and I really like to travel. This means I am taking a lot of pictures during my trips. On these travel pages I am compiling the best pictures and also write about the different destinations I've been to. One of my main passions is nature and you can find lots about that on these pages. So if you are a nature lover, you are at the right place!

But going into nature is not all I do. I also like to visit small out of the way places, go off the beaten path, visit historic places, picturesque villages, meet people, absorb different cultures and explore a city once in a while.

So why am I writing all these pages? The answer is simple: I love writing about my travels and share my stories and photos with others. It is also a great way for me to show my family and friends where I've been and what I've seen. But I also write these pages just for myself. It is my way to keep a sort of diary about all my trips around the world and relive my travels again and again :-))
