About this blog

Being pretty much a Globe trotter my whole adult life I have met a lot of fantastic people from all around the world. But it’s this one man who swept me off my feet, many times, my boyfriend Toby. After being in an ’on again-off again’ relationship for nearly six years he finally asked me to move to Hong Kong (where he’s born and raised), and of course I said Yes! I quit my job at Philips Consumer Lifestyle, packed my bags and shipped me and my pet rabbit Miss Poo to Hong Kong to start all over again.

Toby and I met at Mercer University in Macon, GA in August 2006, where he studied for a Master’s Degree in choral conducting, and I had managed to get one semester abroad as an exchange student when I studied Marketing at Kalmar University in Sweden.

So, here I am, a Swede in Hong Kong, and for the first time since I was 15 years old I don’t have a job. It feels totally weird. For some reason that’s okay, since being in Hong Kong feels a bit odd. It’s a special city and I am happy to be here. I know it will take time to adjust, it usually does. I have done this several times before. Everything will be all right, I know it will. Anyway, here is where I will write my impressions, good and bad, and let you know what this Swede think about Hong Kong.
