Support Local – My 5 Favorite Small Businesses in Shanghai

Unlike the mood in my breezy picture above, 2020 has been pretty gloomy for many of us. Last year, I started my own business here in Shanghai providing photography, digital marketing and content writing services. Just as business was taking off beautifully, Corona hit and most of my projects flew out the window. Luckily, things…

Best of 2018 – Part 2

Best Thing I Did for Myself After being inconsistent with working out for a LONG time, I finally decided things had to change and joined Pure Yoga & Fitness in the end of last summer. I hesitated for a while because of the 1-year commitment and fairly high membership price (plus the place feels a…

Best of 2018 – Part 1

Wow, 2018 just flew by, didn’t it? (And so did half of January…) Many say it’s been a bit of a strange, quick year, and I couldn’t agree more. I wrote exactly 4 blog posts, which means there’s definitely room for improvement in 2019, but also that I didn’t share much of what I’ve been…

5 Reasons Why I Love Shanghai

It’s probably obvious that I’m very fond of Shanghai, but it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. When I first visited in 2010, I pretty much went by the tourist guidebooks and saw what visitors were recommended to see. Sure, the Bund was pretty, East Nanjing was crowded, and it was fun riding up to…

My Travel Essentials – China Edition

Chinese New Year is around the corner, and that means it’s time to pack our bags and head south for some much needed beach and sun! I love traveling, and I actually still enjoy the ritual of packing, the anticipation of getting on a flight, and the moment to relax in the air. Sure, air…

Hey hey Instagram, long time no see! It’s been a busy couple of months which turned into an unintentional social media break. But I have so many nice summer photos that are perfect to look at now that it’s crappy and rainy outside 😅
Guys, if you’ve ever wanted to visit Yu Garden without the crowds, now is the time! ⛩ Only 500 people are allowed to enter in the morning, and another 500 in the afternoon.
Do you think it’s already safe to travel within China?
Have you heard of 1933 Old Millfun in Shanghai? I hadn’t until last week, but had to go take a look as soon as I saw some pictures. It’s an art deco warehouse complex from the 1930’s that used to be a slaughterhouse, and now houses small shops, cafés and offices up in Hongkou District. A strange place but definitely worth a visit! More in the blog 🐾
My favorite small businesses in Shanghai now posted on the blog 👉 link in bio! Ping @spareleash @gomahealth @zoaje @soapnutrepublic @lizzysallnatural @charlottagandolfo 👏👏 I know there are so many more! Who are your favorites?
Happy 4th Shanghaiversary to me! 🎂 This city has been such a good home to @robert.ohrnberg and me. Some of my favorite memories from the past 4 years are…
This time last year 🔙🏕 Camping and trekking on the wild section of the Great Wall. I miss nature! Can’t wait for travel to be safe again and for my foot to heal so I can go hiking (or just for a long walk 😅). #greatwall #greatwallofchina #hikingadventures #missingnature #hikingvibes #beijing #beijinglife
