3 travel secrets…

Secret 2

Norwegian Forest Cat, food, Sweden

Try the local fare!

A whole lot about travelling for me is to experience the local culture, its people and most of all, their food. What we eat and how we cook our foods are intricately tied to the lands we live on and the environment in which we live, so trying out the local fare is often at the top of my list of things to do, when visiting a new place. Bringing home a recipe or two from after the visit, is such a prize! And it’s definitely one way of making everyday cooking more interesting for us here in Sweden. Apart from giving our own cooking an international flavour, we can continue to enjoy our travel experiences, even after landing at home.

Secret 3

Norwegian Forest Cat, sleep, Sweden

Get plenty of sleep!

While travelling is of course exciting and most would want to cover as many places of interest in their time of visit, I’ve always found it useful to get enough sleep, whether in flight or at the destination. I think I get so much more out of the visit if I wake up fully rested and raring to go, rather than completely jet lagged with my system out of sync, dampening the senses and what information they can give when experiencing something new.

    It’s a cute little bugger. It just said a very long goodbye to us here, before going out gallivanting for the evening :-)

    Very helpful advice. These are things that many travelers often overlook, so they’re clearly worth repeating – especially getting enough sleep every night.

    And, I must say, your cat is adorable!

    hey .. cute cat, but love dogs…big ones ! Just came back from Genting .. guess the height (1000m) and the roller coaster ride of the Tour Bus and the ‘itchy backside’ 4-D motion simulator ride I took, cumulated into a bad bad Nausea .. practically like a pregnant woman since i came back friday night ! Motion sickness tablets do not work on me, i took ’sour kana’ all the way … guess that did not help either .. any other tips would be helpful …:-)

    St. Bernards are for you then.

    Sour kana works some for me, but best I could do for myself is really, to lay still and let my body work itself out. Worst case of motion sickness was when I was about 12, at Wet ‘n Wild, went down the twisted tube twice a minute for an hour. Was cross-eyed for 2 days thereafter. Lucky it was the weekend!
