Climbing Kilimanjaro - is it even possible? Ever since our first visit to Kenya, we have been longing to go back. To Africa. There is something special about that continent that makes all other experiences pale in comparison. Nowhere else in the world have we seen such beautiful beaches, experienced such colourful parties or brought home such powerful experiences. In collaboration with Safariresor.se, we write today about climbing Kilimanjaro, about African safaris and about our own memories from our trips to Kenya and Tanzania.

Yesterday, I (Helena) visited Norrtälje, often referred to as the capital of Roslagen, on business. I work in the Stockholm County Council and since the county stretches from Södertälje in the south to Norrtälje in the north, there are sometimes longer journeys for meetings. After the meeting, the sun was shining in Norrtälje and I took a short walk along the Norrtälje river.
