Stockholm Through My Eyes: A Love Letter to Scandinavia’s Waterborne Wonder

They call it the "Venice of the North," but to me, Stockholm will always be the city that taught me how to fall in love with urban life. My first memory? Watching golden light dance across Gamla Stan's 16th-century facades, while the scent of freshly baked kanelbullar (cinnamon buns) lured me into a fika-fueled trance.

From snowy winters spent hopping between cozy cafés to midsummer nights dancing around maypoles on Djurgården, I've collected stories that no guidebook could capture. Come see Sweden's capital through the eyes of someone who got hopelessly lost in its charm—and never wanted to be found.
