  1. Such a lovely idea to do this kind of post just before a birthday! You've shared some really interesting snippets too :) Sorry to hear about your recent break-up but the right thing to do if he wasn't the guy for you. Hope you're planning some more travel adventures in the meantime. I'm also fascinated by Scandinavia and green is my favourite colour too!
