About me

Hi there! I’m Petra, the human behind this blog. I’m a mechanical engineer who loves to travel and still believes in dragons and goodness.

To me the world is not the dark, scary place we so often see on the news, but rather full of adventures and human kindness. I’m here to inspire you to explore more, both in foreign lands and your daily life. 🙂

I also love to eat cheese and walk everywhere. More about me

Summer vibes and books! 🍹Last week lounagia wan

Summer vibes and books! 🍹Last week lounagia wanted a silly, light summer read in the comments, and for me it doesn't get much sillier or funnier than Terry Pratchett. So, today's #erraticbookwednesdays recommendation is Wyrd Sisters, one from his Discworld series. 🐢 Featuring three witches trying to put the right king (who is also entirely wrong for it) on the throne, it's one of his best books in my opinion. It also contains one of my favourite literary characters: Granny Weatherwax, a snarky old witch with anger issues. 🧙‍♀️
Pratchett's works never disappoint with their deeper meanings, hilarious characters, ironic social commentary and Easter egg pop culture references in a medieval fantasy setting, but this one goes a step beyond that and is also a satire on classic storytelling and Shakespeare's works. 😅
It will probably have you laughing out loud even if you're generally not into fantasy books. At least I hope so, because I'm a huge geek and I can't help myself. 🤷‍♀️ #noshame

'Granny Weatherwax was not lost. She wasn't the kind of person who ever became lost. It was just that, at the moment, while she knew exactly where SHE was, she didn't know the position of anywhere else.' T. Pratchett - Wyrd Sisters

P. S.: I posted the second part of my Real talk about solo travel series yesterday, link in bio. 👣

Here's a very uncomfortable me sitting in a net 24

Here's a very uncomfortable me sitting in a net 24 meters above ground. 🤨 On today's #sundaytravelquestions in my stories we talked about solo travel, which is another thing that tends to make people uncomfortable. ✈️ So, I've got a series of real talk posts planned over the next week to give you an impression of what solo travel is really like, from my perspective obviously. Hopefully it will help you decide if you want to try it out or not (which is OK too!). First intro part is already up, link in bio. 👆Who here has travelled alone before? #tableforoneplease 👣

So, yesterday I published a new post about my favo

So, yesterday I published a new post about my favourite Swedish tradition: #fika - the conscious act of taking the time for a coffee break with something sweet, but then I forgot to share it on social media. 🤦‍♀️ Here's a solution though, go subscribe to my blog! Link in bio. 🤓 What's your drug, tea or coffee? Mine is both. ☕

It's Wednesday again and you know what that means:

It's Wednesday again and you know what that means: #erraticbookwednesdays 📚
This week's recommendation is The Solitude of Prime Numbers by an Italian writer, Paolo Giordano. It's a tough but brilliant psychological fiction novel, which brutally deromanticizes social alienation and broken people. 👥 The story follows two main characters, a boy and a girl, who suffered trauma as children and grow up to stand apart, like self-involved, detached automatons, too broken to reciprocate emotion of those around them or each other. In our society the broken outsider is often considered attractive and romantic, someone who will be the perfect partner if fixed, but Giordano shows that it's not quite that simple, and that both characters are alienated both by compulsion and choice. 💔
.
''Prime numbers are divisible only by 1 and by themselves. They hold their place in the infinite series of natural numbers, squashed, like all numbers, between two others, but one step further than the rest.'' P. Giordano - The Solitude of Prime Numbers

P. S.: There's also a movie, and this photo was taken at 2:28 am during the summer in the north of Sweden. 🤫
