The weeks are flying by and it's already Happy Friday again. Where does time go? Soon it will be Advent and Lucia and Christmas ... This week has been hysterical for us and things have happened that will affect both our future plans and our blogging. We can't tell you yet, but you'll find out next week! For now: our blog goals.

ShareOur goals with the blog
Blog goals, do you have to have them? No, of course not! You can blog for the fun of it, to write or to socialise with all the wonderful people in the blogging world. We ourselves blog largely for these reasons. A big THANK YOU to all your wonderful readers! It is thanks to you that this is so incredibly fun! We love to read your insightful, funny and honest comments, and we are evolving with you.
Because blogging is so much fun, a few goals have emerged. We want our blog to be a site where we can tell you about our own crazy adventures while also being a site where you go to find informative and personalised travel tips.
We want to travel more, we want to fill our travel pages with more tips and we want more people to find our site. In time, we might want to make a living from blogging and travelling. A crazy goal? Who knows... If it doesn't work out, we hope that the road to the goal is so fun, exciting and challenging that the road itself is worth the effort.
Methods for developing the blog
How do you develop and improve your blog? We're always playing around with each other and other travel bloggers, trying out different ideas. We also update old posts by, for example, adding bigger photos (what small photos we uploaded in the early days of the blog!) or deleting posts that are too small. insanely embarrassing or as links to pages that no longer exist. But considering that we've been blogging about once a day since March 2009, there are quite a few posts to go through ... Phew!
We have also decided to invest and see what a professional company can help a blogger with when it comes to search engine optimisation (i.e. how to write to be more visible on Google). We have contacted the company Pineberry who will analyse our site and tell us what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong ... It will be very interesting to hear what they say!!!
Happy Friday!
Perhaps the best thing this week has been that we have reached some decisions ... And that we have decided to dare to invest and set goals with the blog! What has been the best part of your week? Do you have any long-term plans for the future?

Nice to have a real goal to strive for, hope you get to the finish line or at least as close as possible 😀.
Just wanted to suggest https://influencersofsweden.se/gdpr-blogg-nyhetsbrev-webbshop/ as some site has written about the new General Data Protection Regulation that will enter into force in May 2018.
Have a nice weekend 🙂

Thank you so much for the link Anette! It's perfect! I read through quickly and will read more carefully again. We have a comment function like all other bloggers of course, so hope that a system is automatically inserted in the comment function!

Exciting! Looking forward to hearing what's next (because I assume it's something positive?).
It's clear that the dream of living on the blog is there... 🙂 ðŸ™'
01 December 2017 - 7:23
Helena says:
I think it will be positive! There have been mixed feelings, but I think it will be good. I'll get back to you!

Something "big" on G sounds exciting. You have a well-thought-out blog so I understand that you have clear goals as well. Living on blogging is not a crazy goal at all, I think you will succeed in the long run. Good luck!
The best thing about the past week is that I have seen Liv, 11 months, a lot.
I/we also have long-term plans, but they are not quite ready to be formulated yet.
01 December 2017 - 7:48
Helena says:
Understand that it is positive and energising to meet Liv! Wishing you a nice weekend!

Fun with your goals and to dare to test and see if the roads there carry. Most of what you want is possible, if it is about things you can influence (not illness and other things of course...) however, some "hardships" along the way can make it easier or more challenging. But it goes on.
Excited to hear more about plans.
And having arrived at certain decisions also means development. Good luck!

You are absolutely right, in several ways! We will tell you more as soon as everything has landed everywhere and feels ready to communicate 🙂.

Hmm... A cliffhanger there in the beginning, I don't like cliffhangers... 😉.
The most fun thing about this week has probably been that I finally got to go on a little trip again. Apparently I have not completely tired of flying around 🙂 .
Long-term plans with the blog? Well... Thinking about whether it will be a post this afternoon or if I might wait until tomorrow? Depends on how I have time, I think.
Have a nice Friday!
01 December 2017 - 9:30
Helena says:
Haha, I don't really believe that you don't like cliffhangers 😉.

Marina says:
That sounds exciting! It will be very interesting to hear what the hired company says and what advice you get. What a project to go through all the old posts, you will be busy for a while!

Helena says:
It's a crazy project to go through all the posts! I take a little at a time 😉

You are really ambitious and professional with your blogging, so it will be fun to see what plans you have and what Pineberry comes up with. Then you can always contact all the "cosmetics and fashion bloggers" to find out how they have managed to live on their blogs;-)
My plans for the blog are about as long as Ama's;-)
01 December 2017 - 14:03
Helena says:
Haha, well maybe it's the fashion bloggers I should talk to 😉 We tried being fashion bloggers one day when we wrote about Taracci, but in general we prefer to be travel bloggers 🙂 ).

You always have a lot of fun things to do, it will be exciting to hear about them in the future.
A fun week, as we have fixed and packed the motorhome to take a trip Yippee!
Nice weekend Hugs

No, I'm completely aimless with my blogging, but I got a funny email from someone who said hello from you the other day....
01 December 2017 - 15:31
Helena says:
Who said hello from us ...? So now you have to tell us more! 🙂

The week ends with a Goose Dinner, a tradition we had with our first neighbours here in Skåne.

Nice! I am originally from Skåne, so the initiative is appreciated 🙂.

As ambitious as you are with your blog, we hope you can take another step and possibly live on it. We ourselves have a lot of discussions about what our life will be like in a year when I also retire. As for blogs, I am thinking of replacing my handwritten travel diaries with a blog (without any great ambitions and daily posts, but still) Right now we are sitting in a hotel down in Neumunster and celebrating Happy Friday and tomorrow there will be a Christmas market for the whole thing.
01 December 2017 - 17:27
Helena says:
Yes, start a blog! 🙂 You write exactly how often you want, no requirements! Wish you a really nice weekend in Neumunster!

Without goals, it will be boring. I can only wish you the best of luck. You are already a professional blogger. It will be exciting to follow you.

Helena says:
Thank you very much! And of course you always want to have some kind of direction to fight against 🙂 .

Arne Lindh says:
Exciting to follow you. We have updated our motorhome life with a new car, see blog. But not much has happened on the blog itself. Looking forward to a new season and wondering about your plans for "social trips" down in Poland, Czech Republic etc. We would love to meet you again. Say hello to Peter and/or Helena!
01 December 2017 - 20:32
Helena says:
Hi Arne! What fun with your new motorhome! I was on your site and looked around, congratulations on a great car! As for the group motorhome trips, it's a bit up in the air, and there won't be anything for this summer in any case. We planned a lot for the routes themselves, and have them almost ready really ... But there is so much around that needs to be organised and we simply can't cope. Still like the idea, and will see if it can be done in the future. But regardless of that, we can meet again 🙂 Of course I greet Peter!

I can't wait to hear what you have in store!
I have no blogging goals at all with my little blog. I just blog because it's so much fun to be in this world.
And I have also eaten a Lebanese Christmas table once. If I remember correctly, I didn't find it as heavy as our Swedish one. I liked it!
