    🚗💨 On the road to Stockholm, folks! Why, you ask? Oh, just me and my dear ex going on a boat trip to Tallinn 🛳️. Yes, you heard that right—stuck together for 40 HOURS. Pray for us. 🙏

    First, a pit stop at my absolute favorite interior design store 🎄✨. Think cozy vibes, endless Christmas decorations, and me having to stop myself from buying everything in sight. Self-control level: expert.

    We fueled up with a shrimp sandwich 🦐 (chef’s kiss) and a saffron knot 🥐 because duh, how else do you prep for potential high seas drama?

    Now back on the road 🎶🚙. Tallinn, here we come! Let’s hope for smooth sailing and zero Titanic reenactments. 🌊⚓ #ExAdventures #TallinnBound #PleaseDontSink    Meer informatie

    🚨 DRAMA ALERT ON THE CRUISE 🚨 So, Mats and I made a table reservation for 8 PM Swedish time (because, duh, that’s our time zone), and we specifically requested the Nordic menu—fancy five courses, please and thank you. 🍽️✨ But when we showed up, ready to eat, they hit us with: "That’s not possible." EXCUSE ME, WHAT?! 😱

    Cue us standing there like, "Are you kidding? We booked this an hour ago!" 🤯 I mean, it was drama at the highest level. Staff running around, us low-key (but actually high-key) hangry. 🥴 But after what felt like an eternity, they finally fixed it, and we got our five courses of Nordic foodie heaven. 🎉

    Let me tell you—by the end of the meal, our stomachs were SO FULL we basically needed to be rolled out of the restaurant. 😂 But the food was stunning—like, Instagram-worthy plates—and absolutely delicious. 🍴💫 The waiter totally redeemed himself, got super friendly, and left us as very happy (and very stuffed) guests.

    Crisis averted, happy ending achieved! 🙌 #CruiseLife #NordicFeast #HangryToHappy    Meer informatie

    Tallin kryssning kväll 1

    17 december 2024, Zweden ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C

    OMG, you guys, this Tallin cruise is already a journey in more ways than one! 🚢😂 First night on board, and chaos ensued right out of the gate. So, get this: we roll up to the restaurant all chill and hungry, but surprise—we were on Swedish time while the restaurant was on cruise time. 😅 After much panicked math and awkward smiling, we finally got our five-course dinner (which was amazing, btw—fancy boat food hits different 🍴✨).

    Then there was the lottery drama. 🎟️ We’re sitting there, missing numbers left and right, and of course Mats decides it’s the perfect time for a bathroom break. 🚽 Naturally, that’s when our number gets called. So there I am, totally mortified, walking to the stage solo to pick up our glorious prize: chocolate and earphones. I mean, hashtag living the dream, right? #WinningBig #CruiseGoals

    We finished the night with some onboard entertainment (think cheesy singers and questionable dance moves 💃🎶), then headed to bed… probably early? Who knows—cruise time is a black hole. 😂 Tomorrow, it’s all about the Christmas market vibes and meeting some of Mats’ friends. Wish me luck navigating both the mulled wine and the socializing. #TallinBound #CruiseAdventures    Meer informatie

    🚢🌊 Tallinn Adventures with Mats! 🌟 #CruiseLife #TallinnTales

    Picture this: Mats and I, finally managing to escape the never-ending buffet lines and dance nights on the cruise ship (don’t ask 🙈). We landed in Tallinn, excited to explore! First stop? Viru Local, a gem of a bar that looked like it was plucked from a fairy tale—cozy wooden interiors, candlelight, and the kindest staff ever. 🕯️🌲 #HyggeGoals

    Of course, we had to go full glögg-mys mode. 🍷🔥 The glögg? Divine. The soup? Heavenly. Mats is convinced it might’ve been enchanted because it was that good. Meanwhile, I decided it was the perfect time to dabble in Estonian. 🗣️😂 Spoiler: It’s like trying to sing opera backwards while gargling—so harsh but fun! The bartender? Absolute MVP. He patiently endured my linguistic disaster with a smile. 🙏🇪🇪

    Honestly, we could’ve stayed there forever, sipping glögg and living our best cosy lives. 🍂❤️ If Tallinn were a hug, this bar would be it. 10/10 would totally butcher Estonian again for another round of this magical glögg. #CosyDreams #EstonianSoupMagic

    Who's coming with us next time? 😉    Meer informatie

    🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Tallinn Take Two: Socks, Friends & Crowded Cafés ☕🧦 #TallinnTales

    Fresh from the glögg magic at Viru Local, Mats and I headed to our next adventure: Reval Café, where we were supposed to meet his old friends. 🗺️✨ First impression? The place was packed—like, Black Friday shopping level packed. 🛍️☕ Clearly, this is the local hotspot. #LocalsKnowBest

    While we were scanning the crowd like detectives 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️, Mats’ friends suddenly sneak attack us! BOOM—there they were, grinning like they’d just pulled off a heist. The real kicker? They handed me a pair of socks! 🧦😂 How sweet (and random) is that? Honestly, Tallinn hospitality is undefeated. #SocksOfLove

    Lunch was chef’s kiss—delicious, and the vibes were on point. We swapped stories, laughed way too loudly, and I kept glancing at my new socks like they were the holy grail. 😅 But, as the busy business moguls they are, Mats’ friends had to dash right after. 🚶‍♂️💼🚶‍♂️ Before they left, we all promised to plan a longer Tallinn stay next time—because one lunch just isn’t enough!

    Conclusion? Tallinn’s not just a city; it’s a vibe. Cozy bars, thoughtful socks, and great company. What’s next on this adventure? Who knows—but Tallinn, we’ll be back. ❤️🇪🇪 #TallinnForever #SockSouvenirs    Meer informatie

    🎄✨ Tallinn Adventures with Mats 🎅🍷

    So, after a loooong beauty sleep, we headed downstairs for a delicious breakfast (because priorities, right? 🥐☕). Once we fueled up, it was time to hit the city! Tallinn, you gorgeous mix of history and modern vibes, you did not disappoint.

    We met some of Mats' old friends who were so sweet—they even gifted me a pair of the cutest socks ever! 🧦😍 Like, who does that? Tallinn people, that's who! #KindestHumansEver

    After lunch with them, Mats and I wandered off to the famous Christmas market, and let me tell you: it was like stepping into a Hallmark movie. 🎥✨ Lights twinkling, the smell of mulled wine wafting through the air (yes, we indulged 🍷), and the town square looking like a winter postcard except the snow that was missing.

    Oh, and can we take a moment to applaud Tallinn for balancing old-world charm with modern buildings so perfectly? 👏 #RenovationGoals The whole city is a vibe, and I’m already planning my next visit because everyone we met was beyond kind, helpful, and polite.

    10/10 Tallinn, you’ve stolen my heart. 💖 #ChristmasMarketDreams #TallinnLove #TravelWithMats    Meer informatie

    🎄🍷 Tallinn Chronicles: Mats, Toilets & Too Much Food! 🚻🧀 #TallinnTales

    After our sock-filled lunch rendezvous, we strolled to the Old Town Christmas Market, where holiday vibes were in full swing—twinkling lights, mulled wine, and enough holiday cheer to make even the Grinch smile. ✨🎅 But, as fate (and Mats’ bladder) would have it, nature called. Enter: WineLibrary. 🍷📚 (Spoiler: no books, all wine.)

    Outside, there was this adorable Santa waving us in—10/10 marketing strategy. 🎅👋 While Mats sneaked off to the loo 🚶‍♂️🚻, I decided to lean into the food theme of this trip (because apparently, Tallinn is all about feeding us like royalty). 🧀❤️

    Let me tell you, traveling with Mats = a constant state of "food baby." He’s always hungry, so stretchy clothes are a must. At this point, I felt like a festive goose stuffed with Tallinn’s finest delicacies. 🦢😂 #StretchyPantsRequired

    WineLibrary was cozy and charming, but honestly? Viru Local still holds my heart with its glögg and service. 🍷🔥 But hey, Tallinn keeps delivering on vibes, wine, and random bathroom adventures. What’s next? Who knows, but my stomach’s bracing itself.

    Would we survive a longer trip without exploding? Stay tuned. 🇪🇪🍴 #ChristmasInTallinn #FoodieAdventures    Meer informatie

    💃🚢 Tallinn to the Boat: Dancing Through the Waves! 🌊😂 #TallinnTales

    After a day packed with glögg, socks, and food that turned us into human dumplings, it was time to bid farewell to Tallinn. 😢🇪🇪 With full stomachs and even fuller hearts, Mats and I waddled back to the boat like two well-fed penguins. 🐧❤️ #StuffedAndSatisfied

    The evening on board? Pure chaos—in the best way. 🌊✨ The sea was doing its best impression of a rollercoaster, and every step felt like a game of “Don’t Fall Over.” Mats turned it into a sport, obviously. 😅😂 But the real highlight? The dancers. These people weren’t just good; they were phenomenal. Think “Dancing With The Stars” meets Cirque du Soleil. 💃🌟 #BoatGoals

    Their moves inspired us, and suddenly, Mats and I decided we were born to dance. Spoiler: we were NOT. 😂 Imagine two spaghetti noodles flailing wildly in a storm—that was us. 🍝💃 But honestly? We laughed until our stomachs hurt and didn’t care one bit.

    Conclusion? Tallinn gave us coziness, great food, and random socks, but the boat gave us epic memories, wobbly floors, and the chance to dance like no one was watching. Will we ever master the cha-cha? Absolutely not. Will we keep trying? Oh, you bet. 🚢❤️ #WavyDanceFloor #TallinnAndBeyond    Meer informatie

    Cruise Chronicles: Me, Mats, and the High Seas 🍷🚢🌊

    Ahoy, friends! 🌟 Picture this: me and dear Mats, cruising on the Tallink Silja like two glamorous adventurers of the Baltic Sea. 🌊⚓️ Ready to conquer the waves, we decided it was time to hit the restaurant for some fine dining. Little did I know, the adventure was just beginning!

    The waves were starting to get a bit spicy. 🌪️ Now, I’m not one to brag, but I can be... a tad seasick. 🤢 Mats, being the ever-supportive companion, assured me we’d be fine. “Wine will fix it!” he declared. 🍷 #TrustIssues

    So, we waltzed into the restaurant, wobbly but determined. Our waitress? Absolute perfection. 👗✨ A total doll. We instantly decided she was part of the squad. But back to the wine. Oh yes, we had a winetasting session. Not the fancy kind—just us sipping and loudly debating, “This one’s fruity! No, this one’s fruity!” 🍇😂 #WineSnobsInTheMaking

    Somewhere in this sophisticated chaos, Mats, my trusted advisor, suggested I take a Mintu shot. “It’s for the waves,” he said with a completely straight face. 🚨Spoiler: That was a LIE. It did absolutely NOTHING for the waves but made everything significantly more... hilarious. 🥴🌿 #MatsTheMenace

    The food? Beyond delicious. We ate like royalty—until we literally could not move. 🍽️👑 Mats suggested rolling me out, but we settled for waddling instead. We even stayed to chat with our waitress, who by now was like family. Honestly, she should’ve joined us for dessert.

    As we finally left, tipsy, stuffed, and giggling uncontrollably, we knew one thing for certain: seasickness or not, the cruise life was MADE for us. 🚢💃 #SeasTheDay

    P.S. Never trust Mats with medical advice. 😏    Meer informatie

    🌊⚓️ Cruiseship Chronicles: The Tallinn Adventure! ⚓️🌊

    Well, folks, we made it! After what felt like a week-long festival on the high seas (but was probably just two days, right Mats? 😂), we’ve finally staggered back home 🏡. And let me tell you—it’s been a whirlwind of adventures, delicious food, stronger-than-expected cocktails 🍹, nonstop laughter, and more than one questionable dance move on the ship’s dance floor 💃🕺. #NoRegrets #MaybeSome

    From Tallinn's charming streets to onboard dance performances (did we really dance like that 👀), it was a rollercoaster of fun, friends, and questionable decisions. Not to mention Mats becoming a professional food strategist 🍽️ #Goals and me mastering the art of "just one more drink" at 2 AM. 🕑🍸

    Now, here we are, utterly exhausted but still giggling over every ridiculous memory. 🥱🤣 Our suitcases smell like the sea 🌊, and I’m about 98% sure we left half our energy back in Tallinn. But hey, isn’t that the sign of a great trip? #LivingOurBestCruiseLife

    So, here’s to comfy couches, hot showers, and no waves under our feet! 🚢✨ Until next time, Tallink fam—over and out! #HomeSweetHome #CruiseLifeForever    Meer informatie
