Our Floridian GROW blogger in Stockholm visits the famed archipelago with her boss

For the last few weeks, I have seen brightly colored feathers stuck on branches, chickens, eggs and witches all over the city.  Chickens and eggs, I get...but witches? When I asked my friends about it, they told me that in Sweden, they believe the witches fly off to Blåkulla to go chat with Satan the Thursday before Easter, and when they return, people would light fires to scare them away.

Our Floridian gives us her take on a shared trip to Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a BEA-utiful place!! Imagine this...smell of hot dogs, sun shining in your face, bikes everywhere, churches, castles, best shopping on Strøget, narrow streets, cobbled courtyards and wild tulips. How can it get much better than that?

Well it can...I was lucky enough to have great company as well. Tiki and I took an early flight out and arrived at the Saga Hotel to check in and then walk the city and get a bite to eat. Saga Hotel is located just a couple of minutes walk from the central station and Tivoli gardens.

Earth Day and I shared the same birthday this year. What better way to celebrate then to head to Copenhagen for the weekend and meet up with Shannon and Tiki! I flew in late Friday night and the girls met me at Central Station; we headed to the hostel so I could put my bag down before going out and exploring the town. When we turned the corner, I looked up and couldn't believe what I saw...

DUH, DUH, DUH!!

And the saga continues....Tiki had booked us in the Saga Hotel. How appropriate for the weekend ahead.

From Florida to Stockholm: This videographer calls Sweden a photographer's dream

Hej!

My name is Michelle Makmann from the Winter Park, Florida Bonnier Corp office where I work as the Multimedia Producer for the Enthusiasts Group (Water Sports, Mountain Sports, Action Sports). I hung up my swimsuits and dive gear for a bit and put away the underwater housings to come and work in beautiful, COLD, Stockholm, Sweden as a Photographer/Editor at TV4. From the weather to the subjects, this has been a huge transition!
