TravelAround: Gävle and Sandviken, Sweden (Take II)
Scandinavia is becoming a regular work destination, and I can’t possibly describe how thrilled I am about it. This was my third visit to the country, the second in plain winter, and curiously enough to the same location I have been last year: Sandviken. Last time I had the company of a Swedish colleague that was kind enough to…

My apologies for the inconvenience and bellow-par experience. The series of visits to Angola keeps on going, and trust me, I’m not complaining! This time, after a long preparation, and investigation I…

Time has come for another trip: a come back to Gavlë and Sandviken, Sweden. About a year ago I was fortunate enough to travel to Sweden for the first time and was received by a Christmas scenery as I couldn’t believe and wrote a post on the TravelAround series: TravelAround: Gävle and Sandviken, Sweden. Later on, I came back to Sweden, this time during the summer and to the South and once again was very well impressed. Malmö is a beautifull city, with lots of water and certainly benefited of big days with lots of sunshine (check the trip post: TravelAround: Malmö, Sweden).
This time around, I’ll have an added challenge as I will be driving for the first time on the icy roads of that northern location. Hopefully I will also get to know a bit of Stockholm, the capital city. Can’t wait to get there! 🙂
