I learned about the local fauna and enjoyed a tea break with a view. A visit to a community sauna and ice plunge was restorative and energizing. I particularly enjoyed a shared meal with Alexandra in a cozy cabin that felt quite distant from the usual tourist spots; precisely the experience I was seeking on this trip to Sweden. Above all, Alexandra is an absolute delight; informative, kind, and passionate. I hope to have an opportunity to…”
