Let’s get real– this post right here has me feeling really nostalgic, & TBH, a teeny tiny bit depressed.
I am home now, & as much as I am so so so so happy to see my family/snuggle Bitzy/sleep in my bed/ & take a longggg hot shower, I am already missing being on vacay big time.
My main concern is that I am really fearful of getting stagnant/back in my normal routine. Traveling, as cliché as it may be, really opened my eyes & got the creative juices flowin’. I was on the move seeing new things on the daily, & I guess I just don’t wanna lose that “wanderlust” feeling I had while abroad.
That said, I am pledging to do more/see more/move more and yup… travel more. Even if it’s just day trip, I am feeling like it’s time to turn over a new leaf. A whole new me- right?
Just call me Dora… the Explora. K?
Our main reason to come to Malmö was for the Ultrabowl Skate Contest Zack was filming, but we also were stoked because during this time of the year the “Malmöfestivalen” comes to town– a famous weeklong music/art festival as well as a carnival that brings in up to 1.4 million people. It’s bright, colorful, themed, & seriously the coolest thing I’ve been to in a while.
Because of the the contest, we basically had one full day to sightsee. At this point though, I was getting tired of all the walking, so I was totes okay with ditching the list & just let the wind (literally, it was so windy) carry us through the town. We had great Swedish coffee, meandered through the quaint side streets, heard some good live music, & obviously scoped out the entire fair situation.
It may have been short & jam packed into a single day, but I was stoked because I feel like I got a good vibe of the city and a good chunk of time to check things out rain free (which was rare majority of our time in Malmö).
All in all, the trip was a major success & I am counting down the days till I get my butt back there next year!! Stay tuned, cause I do have one more #FLTravel surprise coming soon ;).
