About me
I am Swedish and lived in Brussels for 5½ years before I moved to Puerto Rico in November 2007 with my Spanish love O.
We came back to live in the European capital in April 2010 and our beloved son V was born in September 2011.
I write about my life as an expat, my travels and general thoughts. Please feel free to comment on my posts, it makes me happy to get some feed-back.
If you have any questions, send me an email: [blog title in one word, 18 letters] at [hotmail.com].
Right now I am…

CHECKING: house / apartment ads in Brussels *
LOOKING FORWARD TO: introducing little V to his Swedish and Spanish families
