    Simrishamn

    Dec 10–11, 2024 in Sweden ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C

    What a wild adventure! 🌟 Me and my ex in Simrishamn. He drove 7 hours to help me. What an angel all the way to Simrishamn to scope out my hopefully future project. 🚗💨 I seriously can't thank you enough for being such a champ and doing this with me. 🥹❤️ #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork

    We stayed at this adorable little hotel 🏨, super cozy vibes, but guess what? Their restaurant was closed. 😩 And since Simrishamn is a summer city, most places shut their doors early this time of year. RIP to our late-night food dreams. 🍕❌ But we made it work because, honestly, the town itself is straight-up stunning. 🌊✨

    If only there had been some snow on the ground, ❄️ it would’ve felt like we were living inside a Hallmark movie. 🎥 But hey, you can’t have it all, right? Still, it was magic. Tomorrow's the big day—we’re going to check out my windmill!!! 🌬️🏡 Wish me luck. 💫

    Simrishamn, you’ve got my heart. 🌀❤️

    🚗💨 Road trip to Gärsnäs: Me and my beloved ex (yes, we’re that cool) took a wild adventure down south to the dreamy lands of Sweden to check out my hopefully future project—a STUNNING old windmill! 🌀❤️ #DreamsInMotion #ExGoals

    Okay, let’s rewind. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been lowkey (or maybe highkey) obsessed with unique old buildings—mills, lighthouses, you name it. 🏰✨ So when this BEAUTY hit the market, I knew it was my destiny. Of course, I had to place a bid (obviously) and now things are SO CLOSE I can practically hear the mill creaking in the wind already! 🌬️🤞 #Manifesting

    So off we went, armed with enthusiasm, a stabby knife (🫣), and a whole lot of hope. The inside? Let’s call it charmingly rustic. Yes, there’s a leaky ceiling. 🌧️ Yes, some wood is a little rotten. 🪵🔪 BUT WHO CARES?! I WANT IT. 😍 My heart is set on transforming this old treasure into the most magical home. I have so many ideas my brain might just combust. 💥 #RenovationNation #MillMadness

    Shoutout to my amazing ex for tagging along and dropping some expert advice while keeping things hilariously fun (you’re the best)! 🙌✨ And to everyone reading this, hold those fingers, toes, and maybe your neighbor’s fingers too—because I’m THIS CLOSE to turning my childhood dream into reality. 💫🏡

    Stay tuned for updates and potential windmill selfies. 📸 Until then, lots of love and windmill vibes! 🌪️💖 #GärsnäsGoals #FingersCrossed
