Last night we went to a really nice travel blog meeting. It all started a few weeks ago with the travel blogger Drydenwho lives in Jämtland, was visiting Stockholm and wondered if anyone wanted to "meet for a coffee". Three hours later the plans were underway, and Christian from Matochresebloggen generously invited all travel bloggers to his own home. Talk about attendance!

ShareNice to meet all travel bloggers
The travel blogosphere in Sweden is fantastic. There could be competition, but if there is, it's at the insignificant level. The atmosphere is fantastic and here it is about supporting and encouraging each other!
In the top picture of the post you can see Katarina from the blog Lost at last, Issue from Fab F'ämme and Lola from Geotraveler's Niche. The picture below shows Anna from Tourists and our generous host for the evening, Christian from Food and travel blog. And of course Peter from FREEDOMtravel!
They wanted to talk to everyone, but as usual at these events, there's no time for that. The picture below shows Towe from Come fly with me and Cathinka from On the move. Cathinka has just returned from an exciting trip in Namibia - yes, there is a lot of talk about travelling when travel bloggers meet!
Fortunately, Christian didn't have to cook for everyone. Instead, we got Vietnamese bowls from Panic Supper, in collaboration with Foodora. This bowl contained, among other things, noodles, really good "buns" (both vegetarian and not), along with chopped nuts and a strong sauce. Really good - fast food at its best, so to speak!
We thought we took a lot of photos, but we still didn't get everyone in the picture ... In the picture below you can see (in addition to those in the pictures above) Lisa from the blog. Life from the bright side, Jeanette from Jeanette Seflin and Anneli from Life in Cerise.
Some who didn't make it into the picture were Annika from Travel Friday, Sofia from Fantasy travel, Lena from Ladies Abroad (who is about to embark on an exciting trip to Azerbaijan!) and Lina from the Centre. Liniz Travel & Lifestyle. This was a really nice, fun and inspiring evening. I hope there will be more meetings like this!

Mr Steve says:
How wonderful to be able to meet so many people at the same time, all with travel as a common interest. You can see from the pictures that it was a nice meeting.
The bowl of Vietnamese food looks really tempting. I'll tell D about some Vietnamese vegetarian food.

It's great that it was so successful and that so many people came. But I'm not surprised! Nice to see the pictures.
I would have liked to be there, but here we celebrated the eldest son's 20th birthday instead. It had to go ahead! :).

Lennart, blogging is very rewarding! 🙂
Steve, Vietnamese food is probably one of my favourites in Asia, so delicious, even when it's relatively simple 🙂.
Imelda, very generous! And then it actually becomes more personal to meet like that, than out in a venue somewhere!
Åsa in Åsele, I could easily eat that Vietnamese food again! 🙂
Anna, I understand that the son's 20th birthday celebration took precedence! What fun!!! 🙂
Jenn, but really? Best travel blogs 🙂
Liniztravel, likewise, great to meet you! We are of course reporting from Malta. Hope there will be a trip there for you!
Geddfish, that's right, it really was! Room of hearts 🙂
Lisa, thank you so much!!!
Travel Friday, indeed! Thank you!!!

Nils-Åke, of course Sweden is more than Stockholm! As long as there are some bloggers in the neighbourhood, just pull together! 🙂

Sanna Rosell. of course you have to come along! 🙂

Understand that it was both a very fun and rewarding evening! And wonderful to exchange experiences over good food as well.
The blogging world is fantastic and there are so many different kinds of meetings.
Wishing you a great trip to Malta! And of course hope that Peter's back will get better.

Ida says:
It's amazing that a coffee request turned into dinner with such a large turnout. Looks very nice and tasty?

BP says:
Lovely mingle:-) The most fun was probably to see that Peter is "back on track" again! It promises good for the Malta trip.
Answer: Thanks for the name and phone number of the naprapath:-)

FUN with a blog meeting. Yes, it's amazing what doors the blog, and other people's blogs, have opened. I like it a lot!
Understand that you had great fun!!!

Wow, what a meeting and many new names. I don't have time to look at everyone, I have a business to run, far too many hours a week.

It seems that blogging is fraternising in a nice way.
That's what made us start blogging, when we saw your spontaneous meeting at Elmia.

Veiken says:
Blogglandia is really a great country. If you can also meet "for real" it will be doubly good! 🙂 Good that Peter looks good!
04 October 2016 - 20:26
Lena - good for the soul says:
But my goodness, what fun. And generous of him! Lola lectured at the Better Bloggers conference which I attended and I met Jeanette Seflin in the toilet at the same conference. We pulled her into our group as we were going to have a toilet groupie. I had never met her before, but as I said, in the blog world everyone is generous with community (this is also my experience). Everyone can join in and play, kind of. So wonderful!

Anneli says:
Yes, what a nice evening we had yesterday. I really hope we get more dates in real life. Got even more hungry for Croatia now that I looked around your blog! And at some point get to go on a press trip even if you have a tiny blog like me. But small can be bigger. Have a wonderful time in Malta. I will follow you! On the autumn holidays you can check in on lifeincerise and you will see what will be new playitas 😉 hug you!

Fun to see everyone's pictures and we'll do that again soon, I think 🙂 ).

Katarina Wohlfart says:
The horror of seeing yourself in pictures a thousand times in the same day. Everyone seemed to like the picture of me, ämma and lola that you took so now you are kind of immortalised everywhere. :/ Well. At least my hair does not look terrible.
But great to see you as always and fantastically epic organised by Christian.

Life in the United States says:
How nice! What fun it would have been if you could join, you can have the next meeting in the USA? 🙂
05 October 2016 - 3:25
admin says:
Matts, it's impossible to follow all the blogs, I know 😉.
Dryden, we're the ones to thank! Perfect that you came to town! 🙂
Husisblog, how nice that it could inspire! Blogging leads to a lot of nice things 🙂
Veiken, agree, Blogglandia is a great country! 🙂 Peter is not quite good yet, but much much better!
Lena, how nice to hear! Both that you listened to Lola and that your experience is also the same as ours, ie that the blog world is generous and welcoming. Wonderful!
Anneli, great to meet you and great if you found some inspiration for Croatia on our blog! Of course I will check in with you now! 🙂
Towe, right? We think so! 🙂
Katarina, haha, I think you look great in that picture! 🙂
Life in the US, haha, it sounds great to have the next date in the US! 🙂

Tina says:
But how fun it sounds! 🙂
It makes you happy when people don't see competitors in the first place but the opportunity to get to know new people and have a good time!
The Internet and the world are big enough for all of us to take up some space 🙂 .
