Time to visit another country, time to pack up curiosity and enthusiasm to discover Sweden through Ilva’s word. Ilva, whose fantastic blog, Lucullian Delights, an Italian Experience, is one of my favourite ever, is an exceptional foodblogger and photographer, but her high professionalism always comes along with kindness, sensibility and friendship. So, let’s pass the word on Ilva!
I was really happy when our lovely Juls asked me to do a guest blog post here because in this way I could do what I usually do every summer but not this year – I could make a virtual journey to my country of origin, Sweden.

Today is my birthday. I’m getting older, I’m 29 today, but I’m not scared at all. I love birthdays, the 27th of July is one of my favourite days throughout the year, along with Christmas and the first Monday of holidays! I love those 5 minutes when you stretch yourself under the blankets, savouring each and every single moment, the upcoming hours filled with birthday wishes, smiles, fun notes and people giving you love and affection. It’s not a matter of birthday gifts, I swear, it’s a matter of possibilities. It’s your birthday, c’mon, you can do what you want, something beautiful will come your way (as Robbie Williams keeps singing, God bless him!).

I’ve been reading Rachel’s blog for months now, entangled by her bright and gorgeous photos, her various recipes, ranging from Japanese to Mexican, from Southern American to French. Now, let’s follow Rachel to share her crazy and busy summer so far!
