Kiruna Sorry for my late blog but I have just been incredibly busy this past 3 weeks. But I will tell you about my trip to Kiruna. Well it started at 4:30 in the morning where I went to the Malmo airport with another exchange kid from Canada. We had a short stopover in Stockholm for around an hour where we met up with heaps of exchange kids. But before long we were all on our way to the Artic circle. Kiruna itself is actually a two hour drive up from the beginn...

Well, where to begin! This past week has been absolutely perfect. At 16:20 I boarded a night train with a girl named Isabella from Colorado and Jesse from New York. The trip was around 17 hours long so it was a great chance for us to talk and what not. We did get a bit of sleep in but it was so cold! I slept in my snow gear it was that cold. Anyway by 07:34 we had arrived at Åre! The best place for skiing; in Sweden. When we got to our hotel we picked our rooms ...

All up there were 19 Newbies- Rotary kids. 1 from USA, 1 from Argentina, 4 from New Zealand and 13 Australians. Throughout the week I was having dinner at around 4pm so pretty much every night I went for Max runs, Max is like Maccas however is made on the spot and tastes so much bett...

Hej, and no, I didn't spell that wrong. It is how you say it here in Sweden as well. So a couple of people having been asking me, what are my first impressions of Sweden, what is the extreme differences, what I like, what I don't? So this is sort of a sum up of everything, and it is all based off of basically Lund, which is where I am living. For starters there is snow up to my ankles, which is the most obvious difference I think. Everyone keeps telling me ...
