Brunch is hands down the most important meal of the day in Nashville. Think of it as carb-loading before a marathon—you’ll need the energy to keep up with a full day in this vibrant, high-octane city. So jump out of bed, pull on your boots, and let’s do brunch. In the South, biscuits are more than food—they’re a love affair, and Biscuit Love  proves it. One look at the menu and you’ll understand the hype. Fried Biscuit Dough, Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls, or a Buttermilk Biscuit to

For us, Christmas belongs in New York. It’s where the season feels the most alive—friendly faces, lights on every block, and stores overflowing with gifts. It’s the city that turns every Christmas dream into something real, and then adds a little extra magic of its own. Even on a 50-degree day with a light drizzle, the holiday spirit always finds its way to us in NYC. Our first trip after the pandemic took us to New York in December 2021. The world was slowly opening up agai

Nashville is more than just a city.It ’s a collection of small worlds, woven together by music, people, and stories.Roughly the same size as Gothenburg, Nashville’s neighborhoods each have their own personality – and they’re all easy to reach.Every part of the city has its own rhythm, its own scent, and its own warmth. Here’s my personal guide to some of my favorite corners of Music City – places that, together, explain why Nashville keeps feeling like home, again and again.

Half the fun is in the planning — and the rest begins when your wheels hit the road. Planning a trip to the U.S. is almost half the fun, isn’t it? I still remember the feeling before my very first one — butterflies in my stomach, a hundred questions swirling in my head, and a travel list that just kept growing.Whether you’ve already booked your flight or you’re still dreaming with a Pinterest board full of “someday” destinations, there are a few things worth sorting out befor

For me, the feeling of New York begins the moment your feet hit the ground.That mix of garbage trucks, exhaust fumes, and something vaguely sweet in the air — it’s oddly comforting. At the bar, the Pepsi has a faint taste of chlorine and the floor sticks slightly under your shoes.In the breakfast line at the corner deli, people chat casually — and somehow, you’re invited in. On the subway, a woman smiles at your son and tells him stories about what the city was like when her

The New York City subway — a system that never sleeps, always in motion, and somehow captures the soul of the city itself. It may be old and worn, but there’s something oddly charming about it. When the doors slide open, you’re met by a rush of people from every direction — office workers, musicians, nannies, families, tourists & dreamers. Everyone heading somewhere, yet sharing the same space for a fleeting moment. Getting around by subway is both the fastest and  the most a

Driving in the U.S. is a bit like stepping straight into a movie. The roads are wide, the signs are massive, the cars are even bigger – and the service at the gas stations makes Swedish ones look like self-serve kiosks.But there are also a few things I really  wish I’d known before I got behind the wheel that first time. Here ’s my list — full of laughs and lessons from the road. 1. Everything’s bigger – even the parking spots First aha moment: realizing we could park our ren

How do you introduce a new love to someone? It’s easy to get carried away, painting everything in glowing colors when it’s all new and exciting. So I’ll try to keep it cool and start from the beginning — how we first met. Our first encounter was a few years ago on a family road trip. We rented a small house in Sylvan Park, wandered down Broadway, and peeked into a few music studios and guitar shops. A tiny spark of curiosity was born that trip — and last summer we came back,

When most people think of Nashville, music usually takes center stage — but the city also has a thriving craft beer scene that deserves the spotlight. One of the most talked-about breweries right now is TailGate Brewery  — a local favorite with big personality, great pizza, and deep Nashville roots. Here’s everything you need to know — plus a few other breweries worth adding to your beer trail. When we visited on a warm summer day, that cold beer — or two — hit the spot perfe
