The name of this blog, Lyckoland, makes perfect sense in Swedish, but if you, like the majority of the people on this earth, don't speak this odd language, I would translate it into something like the land of happiness.
I blog in Swedish and Swenglish, and if English is your native language, you will find imperfections and grammatical mistakes. Bear with me, please.
I started this blog in 2008, and it's been a good friend of mine ever since. It started out as a way for me to write about my dreams, thoughts and frustrations and to remember the days passing by. Today, this blog is more of a way for me to channel my creativity and take part in this sparkling, inspirational revolution where people create amazing things and share it to the community, simply out of love.
