Moose Park in Skåne

A trip to Sweden would not be complete without actually seeing a live Swedish moose. Trust me, I have been to Sweden many times and been a lot in the forest searching for this incredible animal but I was never lucky to even spot one. They are very difficult to detect in the forest even though they're big animals. So this summer, my husband brought me to a moose park in Skåne. Although it might not be the same as spotting them in the wild but the good thing about Ingelbo Moosepark, you can feed them with apples and bananas.

Nyhavn

Ever thought of having a date in a cozy city like Copenhagen?

Famous for its brightly colored buildings and serves as hub of canal tours, Nyhavn is one of the most visited tourist attraction in Copenhagen, Denmark. With a dazzling array of bars and restaurants, Nyhavn is the perfect place to end a long day.

Constructed from 1670-1673, Nyhavn was built by King Christian V. One of the reasons for its erection, it is the gateway from the sea to the King's Square (Kongens Nytorv).  Aside from being a general landing area for ships and fish trading, the place during that time is also well-known for its overflowing beer and rampant prostitution.

The oldest building in Nyhavn is No. 9, which was built in 1661.

Autumn in Skåne

Coming from a country with seasons- wet and dry, Autumn is something divergent to me. Experiencing it for the first time in Skåne (Sweden), I was in awe of the beauty of the trees. The colors were amazing and seeing the leaves fall one by one was such an incredible moment. Now, I can finally say, Autumn surely is a beautiful season. What's your favorite season of the year?
