Where in the world is Hannah - Hannah Smith

My name is Hannah Elizabeth Smith and I started this blog to keep my family and friends updated on my trip to Italy and Greece with my friend Melissa. I also started it because I like to write and blather on about my daily life. I am moving to Uppsala, Sweden to study International Communications for a year so I will be writing on here to tell everyone about life over there. I am going to try and put up pictures and write often since it is hard to keep in touch with people at home if not through the internet. Keep in touch everyone and I will miss you, but hot damn I am excited to go to Sweden.
Love,
Hannah

We Come From the Land of the Ice and Snow

Europe » Sweden » Norrbotten » Kiruna

Ice Kisses
Ice Hotel

Hej Hej min familj och kompis, I got home from Kiruna yesterday and I am still exhausted. We were only there technically 2 nights. The other two nights were spent on 16 hour overnight trains getting there and then back. Try sleeping in a train seat, not the best. It even affected my dreams. I had one that I was so bored on the train that I left and went to the beach where I was riding an ostrich and then a weird hippo/wombat appeared and the ostrich jumped on it and started riding it so we ran along the beach [View Full Entry]

Stockholm: Little Venice?

Europe » Sweden » Stockholm County » Stockholm

Vassa

We took a bus to Stockholm today and we were led by of course my favorite professor in this entire world. The man is hilarious. My favorite quote today was "You'll read in the news tomorrow, Man dressed as Boat hit by Bus." You don't need to understand the context. I don't know this great man's name sadly but I do know that everything was going wrong for him and our tour today. First of all we got to the Vassa Ship Museum and it was packed and we were late so he gave us a speed tour of the museum [View Full Entry]

On the Town
Being stupid...

I'd like to say that I accidently bought Carrot Bread instead of Wheat Bread at the grocery store...awesome.. Last night was a "well good" night as they say in good old England. We went to Stockholm Nation which looks like it belongs in a scene of Sex in the City. A Dark bar doused in class and all its counterparts with tables glowing in a sensual red. Light enough to see and dark enough not to. Stockholm Nation has a reputation for being stuck up and I can see why because everyone there was dressed to the nines and I thought [View Full Entry]

Kex, Fika, and Spirits. The Swedish Diet

Europe » Sweden » Uppsala County » Uppsala

Mexican Night
although there are no mexicans...

I have found that from the moment I enter a new country it takes approx. 4 days for me to find a succulent treat that is special to the country and then 5 seconds for me to become hooked and need an IV of the stuff hence forth. That little devil of a treat here in Sweden is a Kex bar which is a chocolate waffer bar, kinda like if a Kit Kat and pure awesomeness mated, and I have had one every day. This combined with our weekly Fikas, a swedish tradition of chatting over coffee and cookies, and our [View Full Entry]

When it Rains, It Pours

Europe » Sweden » Uppsala County » Uppsala

Will this keep the rain at bay?
No, it will not...

i woke up to the gray gray whale of a sky as i do most mornings here and i tried to convince myself to go on a run, but laziness won over reason. i'm now kicking myself for not going because the running trail by my building is wonderfully peaceful and beautiful. it looks like the setting of a romantic pioneer movie..haha that sounds like a horrible film. anyways hannah( yes i have a friend named hannah,i still am trying to accept that) and i went outside to read once we saw a glimmer of sunlight and we both got really [View Full Entry]
