What a week! We've had lots of work and meetings, and the Travel News Market trade fair took place last Thursday. We have travelled all over the county during the week, by bus and metro. Happy Friday!

Life without a motorhome (and car)
Now that we have submitted the motorhome for winter storage we will have to do without a car. We no longer have a private car. However, we have both electric bikes and scooters, and we live close to the metro, so we manage quite well anyway. (Ok, it's a little more complicated to shop in bulk, but it works out!)
On the way home from dropping off the campervan, we stopped for a sushi lunch in Bålsta. So good! Do you like sushi?
Training with former colleagues
This week I (Helena) have been working with my former colleagues in the public health world. We have trained staff in LSS organisations to become trainers in the course "Health matters". It has been really fun.
Above all, it has been great to meet my fine and wise colleagues. It has also been fun - now that I have been away from it for so long - to familiarise myself with health issues and ethical dilemmas again.
Travel News Market and party
Yesterday it was time for the business-to-business fair Travel News Market. We usually go to the fair every year, and it is usually both rewarding and fun. Since it was late last night (party at Operaterrassen after the fair), we don't have time to tell you much today, but we will tell you more soon. Here are some memories from previous years' fairs:
- Travel News Market 2021
- Travel News Market 2019
- Travel News Market 2018
- Travel News Market 2017
- Travel News Market 2016
Best this week
Even though we have been home in Stockholm all week, it has been a varied and fun week. Not least, it has been fun with all the meetings - from my old colleagues to all the friends in the travel industry during the fair!
Your turn, what can you highlight as positive from your week?
The week ahead
In the coming week, Peter and his brother Micke will go on a road trip in Sweden to have meetings with various partners. I (Helena) will be at home in Stockholm and continue training together with my former colleagues.
Before that, we have time to perhaps with the Stockholm Food & Wine fair. Here at freedomtravel.se, there will be reports on trade fairs and a guest article about a super exciting destination. Don't miss it!

Anna in Portugal says:
Sounds like a varied week. My favourite thing is that "Jesus" was resurrected (our fridge/freezer). But also that the sun is warming again after a few days of rain and overcast.

Imagine how quickly a week goes by when things are busy and your week has really had a variety of content. Our best was our lovely days in Stockholm. The weather showed itself from its best side and the pedometer showed impressive numbers....

Great to hear that you had great days in Stockholm! We recognise that with high numbers on the pedometer when visiting cities, it is a positive side effect! Nice weekend!

Full roll in other words. Oh what a nice groupie on the website you are responsible for:-) The fair in Älvsjö you should have time for, because it goes well this weekend, or...?
