Wasn't it just Friday? Now it's apparently Friday again, and another week has flown by. We have mostly been at home in the houseboat and have had some exciting meetings. Happy Friday!

Ringsö - and then home in the houseboat
We spent the end of last week on the island of Ringsö, where it was fishing in Lake Mälaren with our friends. The rest of the week we've been at home in the houseboat, only moving away from home for walks and meetings.
Some ups and downs with the newsletter
As you may know, we have set up a new newsletter, which will go out automatically to all subscribers every Sunday. The newsletter has been sent out on three consecutive Sundays, but it has suffered some teething problems.
The letter has gone out every Sunday, but it hasn't always reached everyone... Hang in there! We (or rather our web developer) are doing our best to sort this out!
Great comments of the week
We put a lot of work into freedomtravel.se and sometimes it feels like we are working around the clock - not only with writing but also with different development projects. Some things also tend to be much more expensive than we originally thought, and sometimes you question whether you're doing the right thing.
Then a few nice emails or positive comments on Facebook come in. And suddenly it feels like so fun again. THANK YOU for taking the time to write! It really warms your heart, you know! Here are some of this week's comments:
You have so much fun and interesting reading and tips, thank you!
I think it is so cosy to read about your trips. Have gone to many of your tips with the cosy car.
Interesting meetings
This week we have had some meetings. Firstly, we have had a meeting with a representative of a destination, and talked about a super exciting motorhome trip that we perhaps will do this spring. Nothing is finalised yet, but as soon as it is, we will tell you!
I (Helena) have also had a meeting with two of my old colleagues, with whom I used to work as a consultant. public health scientists. In the next two weeks, we are going to hold a distance learning course together, for future health course leaders in daily activities. It will be great to do this together with my old colleagues again!
Best this week
Every week we try to highlight something positive to help us better appreciate all the good things that happen - whether big or small. This week we are happy about the interesting meetings we had. If the motorhome trip we're planning happens, it will be really exciting!
Your turn, what has been positive during your week?
The week ahead
In the coming week, we'll be setting up the motorhome for winter storage, I (Helena) will be working with my old colleagues and it's also time for the "Travel News Market" trade fair. We will of course report from the fair, and as usual there will be a mix of other articles with a travel focus.

Hope you get that trip with the motorhome this spring, as you wish. Understand you get nice comments, you write very good posts. Nice weekend!

Sounds exciting with the upcoming motorhome trip! Hope the winter without a motorhome will be nice before then though! We ourselves can't wait until it's time to roll south, but unfortunately we have to wait a bit for a couple of installations. But today we go abroad anyway! It will be a trip to my dear home country to visit loved ones one last time before we go on a long trip!

How exciting it sounds with a cool motorhome trip in the spring. Here we will drive Laikan to the winter side this weekend and have also started planning for new trips next spring. For now, we are content with a day in Stockholm next week. It is always a welcome break from everyday life.

Here it also became a winter idea for FREEDOM just. Sounds nice with a day in Stockholm! Do you have any exciting plans?

On Wednesday evening we have booked a photo walk where you get tips on darkroom photography in an urban environment. Then we have thought Fotografiska because now there seem to be many good exhibitions. On Thursday we will see; maybe Hilma af Klein at the Modern Museum or the Historical Museum or something else.

What exciting things you have planned! Fun with photo walk and interesting exhibitions/museums! It would be fun to meet sometime when you come here (or maybe join a museum visit ;)), but this time we have no opportunity unfortunately. On Wednesday I train and on Thursday we are at TravelNewsMarket (business to business travel fair) all day and evening. We hope we can see you some other time when you come here - or when we come to your region!!! 🙂

Of course it would be fun to meet. This time it was hastily decided when we have been at home for a long time and saw that there were places left on the photo walk. There will surely be more visits to Stockholm this winter and we hope you will contact us if you come down to our region.
Have a great week!

So much fun with your "extra work" with your old colleagues. I have a feeling that you still miss your old job a bit. It is not so easy to spend 24/7 with the person you are married to. It can be quite silly if I may say so. You do everything together. What do you talk about in the evenings...?

Helena says:
Yes, it will be really fun to work with them again! Of course, you need some input from others from time to time, and these colleagues I have had a super nice collaboration with, so it will be fun to meet them again!
