A week full of impressions from around the world

This has been a week full of impressions from all over the world. We've only been in Sweden, in Stockholm to be precise, but we've taken part in various events that have "taken us" to Italy, Estonia and Uzbekistan... Happy Friday!

Events of the week: Italy, Estonia, Uzbekistan

At the beginning of the week, we attended an inspiring event that focused on wines from Piedmont in Italy. The next day was a breakfast seminar on Estonia, and in the middle of the week there was an Uzbek cultural event with dancing and food. The Uzbek event we plan to tell you about tomorrow, so today there will be some pictures from the Estonia event...

Breakfast event on Estonia - at Soho House

So we were invited to a breakfast seminar on Estonia, organised at Soho House, located in a converted church building in Östermalm. Check out the picture below - this is an exclusive club, usually open to members only.

According to a googling a few years ago, a membership costs 26 000 SEK/year if you want to have access to all Soho House (39 clubs in different world cities) or 15 000 SEK/year if you are satisfied with the Stockholm club.

The reason we were allowed to look in here is that some rooms can be rented for events, and one of these rooms was used to organise the Estonian meeting. We were treated to a exquisite breakfast and learnt about the latest news about the tourist country Estonia.

Among other things, we learnt that Tallinn is the European Capital of Sport 2025 and Estonia is now 100% digital. Since December 2024, it has also been possible to get a digital divorce, thus completing the digital offer.

Time for friends

We have also had some time for friends this week. We met a friend at Urban Deli on Sveavägen last Friday. There you can currently eat oysters for 5 kronor/piece on Fridays. Quite an ok price, isn't it?

Another friend, from Skåne, turned up completely unexpectedly, like "I'm in Stockholm on business, are you home?". We were and then it was a long pleasant evening with food and wine here in the houseboat ...

Best this week

Then it was time to think about what has been the best this week. It's a bit difficult to choose, because this has been a good week. Apart from the sun shining (how lovely!) we have been to several inspiring events. We have to say that we are grateful both for the sunlight and for the opportunity to meet so many amazing people from all corners of the world!

Now it's your turn... What can you highlight as the best thing from the week?

The week ahead

What are our plans for the coming week? Well, we will continue to hang out in Stockholm. On freedomtravel.se you can expect reports on the Uzbekistan event, mixed with Sweden reports and guest reports. As usual, a report will be published every morning at 06:00. We wish you a great Friday and weekend!
