7 Shades of Grey (Volvo car colors, that is)

Dear loyal readers, ’twas the night before our departure, when all through the hotel. Not a student was sleeping, not even Niklas (Myhr). Today was a marathon, starting at the crack of dawn with a bus ride over to Volvo Cars Brand Experience and Production Center. As loyal Toyota and Kia owners, we were excited […]

(Den)mark our words, pedestrians DO NOT have the right of way in Copenhagen

When life gives you lemons, ask a bartender to make you a limoncello spritz!

Work Hard, Play Harder

Another day, another Swedish Krona (paid contactless of course). Our final two days in Stockholm consisted of both business and pleasure, using our brains and our singing voices.

Up & Down & All Around… Stockholm

Well, it’s been a few days, and the Dancing Queens have arrived safe and are dancing in a new city… Stockholm.
