Finally, Summer in Chicago!


Welcome to my page

It has been too long since I've been back to Sweden and although it has been in my thoughts, and have many fond memories of her lands, people and culture.... life has been so busy and I have not found my way back. Maybe I can relive some of my travels and memories by dropping by the site from time to time.

Personal Background. I have finished my undergraduate work in Applied Geography, Physical Geography, and Archaeology. Now I'm working toward my Masters degree in Geography with a focus on GIS/Remote Sensing.  I have many hobbies and interests, including just about anything Apple/Mac related, digital Photography, Movie/making, Dog rescue (Specifically Lethal White Aussies,Blind.Deaf), Military history (Scandinavia, Greece, Pacific), Military aviation and others.

I'm looking for friends throughout Scandinavia(and other parts of the world) as I hope to continue to learn much from the Scandinavian culture. In the near future I would like to begin visiting again and meet people with similar interests. Although I do like larger cities in Scandinavia, I'm particularly drawn to smaller cities and people with small town values. I love mountains, water, and picturesqe natural areas and visiting Stugas!  I come from a very large city and getting tired of the typical rat race of big city living!! 

 Ha Det Sa Bra. NIkos

  • Aloha Nick. I just did a short bio presentation in my Swedish lang. class on Barack Obama. I read some parts of his first book in Swedish. I plan to continue reading during the summer. The translation is excellently executed and I recommend it if you are trying to read any Swedish book. The other books, so far I recommend are by Katarina M. See my story on that. Well, I'm glad that I've gotten in touch with a few of my best & close friends in US via txt/sms. I just have to remember the time difference, lol. Ha det så bra!

  • Aloha from Uddevalla, west coast in Sweden. How is Chicago? We have a Swede friend there who was our ex-roomie. We moved here back in 2006, so i'm still adjusting from Hawaii hot weather to the colder weather here. I love your dog pics. Too bad we don't have a big enough apartment and have the time to invest for a dog. My husband and I love dogs. Can't have cats since he is allergic to their hair. Trevligt att träffas dig här. I'm hardly here but you're welcome to drop me a line. Vi hörs!

A group can be about a city, an activity, perhaps a swedish musician or something else. You decide! You'll find the new Groups section in the top navigation. Check it out and enjoy! :)

  • hello!Unfortunately i live in Greece right now but i am planning to visit Sweden next winter...Its nice to meet you Nikos...

  • Hej Nick! Hälsningar frän Delaware. Thank you so much for your new year wishes. As you said, let's hope that 2009 turns out to be a good year for all of us. Dave Ramsey on Fox TV was saying that with the 5% interest rates, people are waiting for grass to turn greener and in 2nd quarter the recovery will begin..I sure hope so! Many of DuPont's products are tied to home construction and auto industry. I do not know if you voted for Obama or not. I did and then requested my CoS friends to send the Nov 5 newspapers in their cities with Obama's vistory news to me. I ended up with newspapers from Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, England and Wales, Argentina and Rhode island with Obama's on the front page, which was really kool! Mo and Dingo are impressive dogs. They remind me of a friend who has six huskies as him and his wife are into dog sledging and have abig truck which they use to take the dogs to upstate NY for sledging! I am a casual photographer and can not come close to what you do Nick! Please let me know your experience with the 360 deg software. I have seen some of these 360 degree panoramic shots at Visit Sweden site. I would love to take these 360 deg shots of Swedish castles !!! Any new Swedish friends you have made? Any Sweden-related activity? Did you go to any Lucia festival in Chicago area? I am really grateful to CoS friend Marlyse Lindblad who invited me to the Lucia in Philadelphia. It is something I will remember for the rest of my life..a truly beautiful experience followed by some nice warm Glögg that cold blustery evening! Please stay in touch my good friend and if you come this way, let's have fika together! Ta hand om dig, Arsh
