Back To The Beginning...

So when a Floridian happens to see SNOW! we like to take a picture and often ask... have you ever seen snow!!?!? haha I find all this talk funny nowadays...

I was in shock when I arrived to Stockholm!  I remember thinking... How do people manage to live in this weather!!?! It was incredible to see the amount of snow that this place had!  It was really cold, we had a lot a baggages, we were very tired and jet lag. at last I thought What Did I Get Myself Into...!?!?!

I was so nervous! But I coulden't let an opportunity like this one get away! I have been living without a winter for over a decade! so I figured I need to make up for it and move to Sweden for a little bit.. lol

The Winter in Sweden is very long... it constist of a lot of dark nights.. but it's also very beautiful... the whole town is covered in snow and it makes it so peaceful and relaxing. the weather is not always easy to deal with but you get used to it and whenever the sun is out

 it automatically becomes a beautiful day..

 things I would take forgranted back home...

Jönköping is at the southern point of Lake Vättern, the second largest lake in Sweden! infront of the whole city I get to see it everyday coming from my accomodation by bus or walking!

A little walk in the snown and along the lake with Sandra!

I love nature.. It's so peaceful..

I will never be cold again in Florida thanks to Sweden!

With Sandra

Already a month..!?!?

wow.. already a month living in a small city in the south of Sweden called Jonkoping! It has been an amazing month..  I am not going to lie at first I was very scare about the weather lol, but I have been able to adapt to it.  I got the same accomodation as Devin! we both live in Vilhelmsro! so far I've heard it used to be a children's hopital/manicomnio/and a nursing home!? haha I don't really mind.. it's a great place because we are like 60 international students.. and everyone is great! I love my hall, there are  people from Spain, Australia, Germany, Austria, Mexico, Japan, France, and even PERU!! lol We have great International dinners so I might be able to learn some  delicious dishes from all these countries!!
