About

As an American living in Stockholm for the past 20 years, I have many observations, experiences and humiliations in the city of Stockholm. So, I thought I’d share them for the entire world to read!

Not to mention, I also write books about some of the strange and funny things that happen when a Texan moves to Europe.

And I host my own podcast where I chat with other expats living in Sweden. It’s also called Life in the Land of the Ice and Snow and can be found on Spotify, iTunes and anywhere you get your podcasts by just typing in “Life in the Land of the Ice and Snow.”

    1. Ah! We are all over the place! So glad you like the blog. There are so many odd differences to comment on. Some fun, some very very strange (why do they like to hop around like frogs?). I’m checking out your blog too! You have some great stuff on there. I’ll pass it along to my friends!

    Great blog. As someone who is also living far away from home, I can relate to a lot of your writing. You have a new fan.

    1. Thank you! I enjoyed your bucket list but it makes me feel bad since today I can’t even manage to change out of pajamas. 🙂

        I am envious of that. I’m stuck at work, and when I get home from work I’ll be on the computer doing a writing test for a prospective job in France.
        Cause I look pretty darn good in pajamas! lol.

  8. Have enjoyed reading a few pages of your blog, good work!

    I’ve just moved to Sweden from the UK in the last few months, and have found things pretty hard going so far – I enjoyed the light approach in your mini-blogs.

    Keep it up, you have a new follower!

    1. Thank you so much! Oh, this is the worst time of year to move here. I promise the summers are great! It’s all ice cream and sunbathing. No one really works. 🙂
      I find you have to have a sense of humor to get through moving to another country. Now when I get something wrong or embarass myself, I say, “well at least I have a new post for my blog.”
      Good luck here!

  9. Sweden’s a fabulously weird place. It sure gets under the skin, though. After many years living in Vaster Norrland, we’re now in France but hanker after the damn place. Maybe another move North is required. Best and good luck with the blog, of course. I used to run one, mostly while in Sverige (http://swedishbullshit.blogspot.fr/) haven’t bothered for over a year, France seems such an ordinary sort of place, I guess, in comparison. Maybe have to resume……

    1. Maybe a summer place in Sweden then? 🙂 Enjoy France! And I’m sure you can find enough weird stuff if you really look. Just find some public transportation somewhere. haha! But from your blog, it looks lovely with a house in the country. Believe me, you are not missing slipping on ice.
