One of my favourite things at LiU are the well equipped student kitchens. They even have fridges, so you can BYO lunch and store it. There are also microwaves so you can heat it up. There are sinks, so you can fill up your own water bottle, and tables to sit down and enjoy your [...]

Continuing our quest for forest, we headed to Tinnerö eklandskap on Sunday. Well, only part of it is a forest. There’s grazing, farmland, an oak forest- all in all 687 hectares of nature reserve reaching right up to Linköping. Yes, wow!   We caught a bus to Gamla Linköping then swapped to a bus to Lambohov. We [...]

As I said previously, the previous weeks have been really dedicated to the master thesis. For a ‘Pre-Final seminar’, our supervisor, Marie Bengtsson, asked to provide her with a complete version of our thesis by April 30th. To describe what she expects, she uses the metaphor of a Swiss cheese: our thesis can have holes [...]

The last time I experienced snow-winter was in Missouri, USA in 2010-2011, and the lowest it got there was I think a minus eleven (might be wrong, but somewhere near that). So, I was a little [...]

The most important and big event on this trip was to see the Northern Lights which is also known as “Aurora“. The Aurora often appears around 10PM. We have started observing Aurora around 9PMto make sure our equipment such as camera, tripod has set. Our observation team had waited more than two to three hours [...]

There was a lot of free time prior to the next event in Lapland so we have decided to walk around the hostel. In fact, there were plenty of spot to visit around Kiruna.   When we walk past the little forest, there was a beautiful landscape which contains mountain, snow and sunlight. Since it [...]
