If you haven’t been to the Archipelago but have been planning on seeing it, I suggest you do yourself a favour by renting a boat. It’s probably the best way to experience and see all the different islands and the breathtaking coastline it has to offer. I went boating with the Dream Boat Club, who offer renting services of different types of boats with desired options onboard like, water-ski, wakeboards, snorkelling gear, fishing equipment etc. It was extraordinary, I would go as far as saying, you haven’t experienced Swedish summer at its peak if you haven’t been Boating. It allows you to experience everything from a different dimension, the speed, the wind hitting your face and the endless view of clear blue water, you become one with your surrounding.  Wether your live in Sweden or  visiting, boating through the Archipelago is an unforgettable activity that everyone no matter age will appreciate and remember for a lifetime. One thing to keep in mind, the best season for boating in Sweden is from june to august.

I recently discovered there’s such a thing as a “ocean-bus“. The entire idea is pretty interesting, you get on board an actual, regular bus. It looks like a bus, it drives on the road, just like a bus should, but then as it approaches the “ocean” it doesn’t stop or hesitate, quite the contrary, it drives or dives so to speak right into it. It is an experience worh the wait. The best part is the funny and mostly sarcastic tour guide who gives you a crash course in swedish history while being entertaining with fascinating facts about stockholm and the historical buildings. We also got to see few famous swedish owned properties around strandvägen, which I should poing out, is the richest postcode in Stockholm, prices starting at €20.000 per Sqm. My overall experience could be summed up in one word, entertaining. If you are currently in Stockholm I recommend it, as it’s an outside the box attraction.

I believe its been a little over 3 weeks, since me and my son Elias went to body flight. It was our first time trying indoor skydiving and it was an incredible experience. I’m not gonna sugar coat it, it was pretty difficult to get your body around it, literally. When you first watch it online, it all seems very straightforward, until you’re caught up in the wind and realise, how hard it is to catch your breath let alone keep your body balanced. I have to say it’s one of those things you get better at the more you try. Keeping a realistic expectation, will make it more enjoyably as you, definitely won’t master it at first attempt. The instructors are super helpful and passionate about their job, wish made it all worthwhile the struggle. If you’re in Stockholm for a visit or you live here and want to try an accelerating, fun and challenging experience, Bodyflight is a must.
