How old are you and how do you normally spend your days?
I'm 37 and about to join the 38 parade. Normally I spend my time exploring the many nature reserves, naturums (visitor and information centres at nature reserves) and national parks in the country.
When and why did you move to Sweden?
The husband moved to Sweden in 2013 to study SISCO networking and we later joined him in 2015.
What do you love the most about the place where you live?
I love the uncomplicated life in the countryside. I am comforted by the idea that everyone knows everyone but everyone let's everyone go about their business.
What annoys you the most about your part of Sweden?
Public transport or lack thereof.
How should I spend a day in your neighbourhood?
We'll start our morning with waffles for breakfast in Backa Loge. The café has a lakeside location within Fegen's nature reserve. Go canoeing in Fegen lake after a hearty breakfast and row towards Sandviks kyrka.
We'll head to Ästad's vingård for lunch and visit the neighboring Öströö fårfarm to try out their lammsafari.
We'll spend the rest of the afternoon waiting for the sunset in Skreastrand and grab a few drinks in one of the hotels along the beach.
What's a fun fact not everyone knows about your area of Sweden?
We have a small theatre (Teater Albatross) nearby and about 20 kilometres away from Gekås, Ullared. It's a shopping mall with its own TV programme on Kanal 5.
