Lena - good for the soul says:
Wow, I am so impressed! I remember when you wrote about reaching 100,000 and was just as impressed then. But 300! At the same time, I'm not at all surprised. As much useful information as you deliver day after day with very consistent quality, it pays off. And it's free for the reader! So, thank you!

I just want to thank you for all the wonderful tips about places that I have not otherwise visited. Thinking especially about a place that was absolutely fantastic - Höljerudsforsarna outside Bengtsfors.
Your 'digital travel magazine' is always on my travels.

Thanks for the nice words Per! What fun to hear! And what fun that you tell about Höljerudsforsarna, there was fantastically nice! 😍

Congratulations to you! You are doing an incredible job. Your blog is well laid out and easy to read and the fact that you write from your own experiences makes it even more interesting. I hope we can continue to enjoy your posts with our morning coffee.

Congratulations! No wonder you reach so many people with your nice and content-rich blog, absolutely fantastic. You are so nice and cosy up there and I wish you every success.
Now people seem to have started travelling after two years of the pandemic, which is wonderful. And it is our own beautiful country that attracts the most and the closest countries around.
Have a nice day, hugs, Gerd

Thank you very much for your wonderful and nice comment, Gerd! Yes, it is probably the case that travelling has started again. Some people travel longer, of course, but Sweden and nearby destinations are hot now! Hugs from us!

Great fun! Really rejoice with you. You put so much work into this so hope that it will pay some other dividends in parallel with the number of page views and visitors.

Thank you Ditte! Yes, we do put in a lot of work! But luckily we enjoy it! And yes, there are some other benefits as well, fortunately.

TravelAnna says:
Wow, absolutely fantastic! Congratulations, it really is soooo well deserved!
I really like that you call the site a travel magazine instead of a blog. It IS a magazine. 🙂
Go for it, keep up the good work!

BP says:
Congratulations to 300,000 readers! Fantastic and well done there:-)
You have fulfilled your dream with the magazine. You have put so much work into it and you deserve the success.
The only thing I wonder is why there are so few people commenting...
03 August 2023 - 21:17
Helena says:
Thanks BP!!! Great thoughts! I think blogging has changed over time. We used to write shorter "here and now" posts and there were a lot of comments. Today we write a lot of food guides, where it may not always feel as obvious for everyone to comment. But, we probably get at least as many comments today, just that they have moved a bit ... we get a lot of emails and comments on Facebook and Instagram instead.
