FROM GARDENING TO HARBOR SWIM: MY CHAOTIC ÖLAND WEEKEND

Have you ever been woken up by your mother, kidnapped into her garden before coffee, and somehow ended up at a windswept harbor before lunch? 🌿💦

This is exactly the sort of weekend that happens in Mörbylånga, on the Swedish island of Öland — and darling, it’s fabulous in its own chaotic way. From pulling weeds like a runway model pulling on opera gloves, to plunging into the harbor for a swim in water as warm as rumor but with a wind as sharp as fashion week critique, this is a small-town adventure you didn’t know you needed.

🌾 Morning: My mother insists we “just do a little gardening” — which, of course, turns into a full morning’s work before I’ve even tasted coffee. The weeds never stood a chance.

🌊 Midday: Off to the harbor for a swim! Warm water, wild wind, and a thrill you can only get when nature is fully in charge.

🍷 Afternoon: A pre-barbecue walk with my mother, sipping on a bottle of red wine called The Idiot (fabulous, by the way — full-bodied with a cheeky personality).

🔥 Evening: My cousin Carina and her fiancé Åke host a barbecue. I arrive with my signature Swedish pizza salad and garlic bread with tomato sauce. Guests include my dear old friend Nina and her girlfriend Sann.

✨ Why you’ll love this video:

Whether you’re here for travel inspiration, a taste of coastal Swedish life, or simply to see if I survive a day without coffee — you’re in the right place.
