Scandinavia is becoming a regular work destination, and I can’t possibly describe how thrilled I am about it. This was my third visit to the country, the second in plain winter, and curiously enough to the same location I have been last year: Sandviken. Last time I had the company of a Swedish colleague that was kind enough to…

TravelAround: North Luanda, Angola
Platform instability has been causing errors, slowness and breaking the layout of some of the pages. I am hunting down the problem but it still persists. My apologies for the inconvenience and bellow-par experience. The series of visits to Angola keeps on going, and trust me, I’m not complaining! This time, after a long preparation, and investigation I…
TravelAround: Sin city – Las Vegas, USA
Las Vegas, also known as the Sin City or the adult’s playground is located on the Nevada State, USA. The city was created in the middle of the Mojave Desert and there isn’t any change you forget about that fact when you get here in July: temperatures above 45ºC tend to constantly remember you. We all have heard, read and…

Time has come for another trip: a come back to Gavlë and Sandviken, Sweden. About a year ago I was fortunate enough to travel to Sweden for the first time and was received by a Christmas scenery as I couldn’t believe and wrote a post on the TravelAround series: TravelAround: Gävle and Sandviken, Sweden. Later on, I came back to Sweden, this time during the summer and to the South and once again was very well impressed. Malmö is a beautifull city, with lots of water and certainly benefited of big days with lots of sunshine (check the trip post: TravelAround: Malmö, Sweden).
This time around, I’ll have an added challenge as I will be driving for the first time on the icy roads of that northern location. Hopefully I will also get to know a bit of Stockholm, the capital city. Can’t wait to get there! 🙂
TravelAround: New York, USA (48 hours hop)
New York is one the most emblematic cities (if not the top one) of United States of America. The Big Apple as it became to be known, is alive 24/7 and that is something hard to cope with if you are not used to it. My visit was short, a quick a stopover of 2 nights just to get a…
TravelAround: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Belfast, Ireland has always been one of those youth dream destinations. If you were born in the 70s or the 80s, you are more than certain to have influences from this northern sea country: I lived most of my high school and college with U2 as a soundtrack, while drinking Guinness or Jameson when with friends. Belfast, is the Northern…
TravelAround: Malmö, Sweden
Malmö is the capital city of the Scania district, in the southern part of Sweden. With a population of approximately 300.000 inhabitants, Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden and the fifth of Scandinavia. Once a big industrial area, Malmö struggled with the adaptation to the post-industrialism. The construction of the Øresund Bridge, brought a new life to the region,…
TravelAround: Copenhagen, Denmark [#pitstop]
While travelling to Sweden, I had the opportunity to go for a quick visit to Copenhagen, capital city of Denmark. Making the quick visit of no more than 3 hours, proved to be a worthwhile investment. The Sun was out, although the wind made the experience a bit uncomfortable. From CPH (Copenhagen airport), it takes 12 minutes to reach Central Station, located at Copenhagen…
Travelaround: Antwerp, Belgium
Disclaimer: I have lived for a while in the Netherlands and loved it. For that reason, there is a strong possibility that my visit to Antwerp has been tinted positively by that experience. Antwerp is the second biggest city in Belgium and the capital of the Antwerp district in the region of Flanders. With of one of the biggest…
TravelAround: Europe – Barcelona, Spain
Having a geographical distributed team (#MSPFE), spread through Europe, has many advantages. I will not get into many details right now, but for the sake of this article, there is a relevant one: when you gather the team, well… some of us have to travel. This time I was one of the selected therefore having to travel to the gathering point –…
