Mallory’s Thoughts Stockholm I spent two nights in Stockholm prior to meeting everyone in Skelleftea to squeeze in a bit more time to explore since friends that went last year said they didn’t really get much time to and also to try adjusting to the time difference.

On our second day in Stockholm, we got to truly explore the city even more and we would be remiss if we didn’t mention our walks through Gamla Stan, or Stockholm’s Old Town, and Södermalm, the island south of Gamla Stan. Sandwiched between alleys with colorful houses and cobblestone streets, we wandered into tons of […]

Hej! We’ve just finished up our last business visits at Volvo Cars and Volvo Group, and gained some excellent new insights into Swedish business culture. We both had an absolute blast on this trip and learned a lot, and it’s tragic how fast it went by. Regardless, this was one for the books. At Volvo […]
