Kalmar County, Family travel
Such a cute town amazing gelato, swans everywhere, beautiful climbing roses down every neighborhood, beautiful cathedral, and the kalmar castle was fun and they had a whole section for kids to pretend to be knights and stuff, the “rose garden” by the castle that was on our itinerary was cute but not worth all the hype so don’t be bummed if you miss it, but feel free to stop by and take cute pics. I did loose my phone with in a 3 block radius and realized in like 5 min and it was gone and my...

I went with my dad to visit the IKEA museum and we stayed for 2 nights, spontaneously got to see a midsummer festival up the road from a cute little yellow hotel/bib style place, the host showed us a place we could bike to swim at the lake. The IKEA museum is a must totally blew me away on how good it was my expectations were low but it was such a cool experience, it’s so much fun and would be good for kids too! and the meatballs were even better than the ones at my hometown IKEA in California....

Nynashamn, Family travel
Such a cute town the people there were the sweetest out of our whole trip (and that’s a high bar) the scenery was pretty with the ocean, bay, trees, and food. If you ever go to Sweden the grocery store “Coop” is amazing they have a salad/pasta bar that’s cheap and easy and again as I said in my other posts the ice cream in Sweden is so good. Nynashamn was a good place for sure to bike but you could also drive the town part was small so one day to explore the whole area was good enough for me we...

A very safe town. Of course crimes can happen but it’s very unusual here. The town is very dead during winter and tourists always come in summer. It’s a lovely city in summer that offer music festivals, boat trips, beaches, cute lakes and some shopping and great restaurants such as Montmatre, Antonios and Nivå. A very nice city with kind people. Go in summer!!!

Very safe. Never feel unsafe in my daily life. Maybe if you go out to the suburbs at night you might feel a bit unsafe but it’s not supposed to be unsafe for outsiders.

Verry safe if you stay away from trubble and drugs. As a woman i feel pretty safe walking around at night but be awere of your surondings and make wise desissions. Walk with confidence and get used to the area during daytime. The danger statistics are high but nothing has ever hapened to me or anyone i know from being out on the strets. I think it is safe as long as you don't involve yourself with sketchy people.

I honestly can’t pick any areas that are unsafe. Of course crime and bad people exist everywhere. Use common sense and avoid isolated areas during the night. I’m born here and during the day, all places are safe.

About me
Hi! I’m Thea, a native swedish teen who’s just recently trying out this app! As of currently, I’m a full time student living at home. The traveling I get done is during the summer when i lure out my family for sightseeing trips in sweden or nearby countries. After graduating I see myself doing a “sabbatsår”, which usually means traveling and seeing the world for a bit. I’m pumped about exploring the world :)
