Check out my latest article for GoNOMAD titled Bonfires of Valborg: The Fiery Heart of Sweden.
One of my favorite pieces, it chronicles how Swedes welcome the arrival of spring with massive bonfires lighting up the landscape.

Stunning photo. I’m off to read the article.
soultravelers3 – thanks for the kind words! Sweden has grown on me and I’m beginning to truly appreciate the concept of lagom.
I loved it! I have some viking blood in me, so seem to have a certain romanticism around Sweden. We had such a wonderful time there this summer that I think it is even MORE pronounced now.
I really enjoy the customs and culture. Perhaps we have just been lucky, but the people we have met from Sweden have been exceptional. I fell in love with Sweden when I first visited in 1988 and am so grateful I got to share it with my family, for now I am even more in love with it.
Thanks for your wonderfully written post that let me know even more about another lovely tradition on land that I have walked!
Going to read it now!
