A Sleepy Traveler

Hello beautiful souls!

I’m at Gothenburg Airport after a long drive through the night. I only slept four hours so I had to roll the windows down for fresh cold air to keep me awake. I’m so glad I made it in one piece. I was listening to a self development podcast and the man who was speaking had such a calm and soothing voice. I was nearly falling asleep at the wheel! I switched on some upbeat music to wake myself up and soon I was singing and energised. I listened to a mix of my December playlist. Since 2020, I started a music journal on Spotify where I add all the songs I listen to each month to a monthly playlist. It’s amazing how the music from those months transport you back to the emotional state I was in back then. Almost like an emotional trigger. My December playlist is a mix of movie soundtrack songs and Gealdyr. Perhaps you saw a few of their songs on my previous blog posts. I really love their music, I feel like it connects me to my heritage.

Now I’m falling asleep typing this. Just wanted to say hi and let you know where I’m going. I’m first flying to Stockholm and then Åre!!! I will be staying at a mountain lodge for a week hoping to catch the Northern Lights, photograph the beautiful landscape, and enjoy some swimming at the hotel spa. It’s a funny story how Åre happened and I plan to talk to you about it in a YouTube video. I feel I can cover way more in a video, which is one reason why I plan to share more on YouTube in 2025. When I’m inspired, I have a tendency to write a lot and perhaps that is overwhelming for you?

Long story short I found a beautiful farmhouse in the North, so I considered moving there shortly after I arrived in Sweden in January this year. It wasn’t until I realized that I needed more than a house, I needed an emotional connection to my home, to the land. I had travelled enough and lived in many places around the world to know that. And that is exactly what I have where I live today. I’m so grateful I followed my heart and decided to live somewhere that represents my personal story and my heritage. A place that grounds me so when I travel I know where home is in my heart.

I hope you are having a beautiful morning. Sending you so much love. See you in the mountains! ♥︎ꨄ♥︎
