I met Holly through our sorority and we figured out our best friends from high school were each other’s new best friends at college. It was such a weird, small connection, but so meaningful. If two of the people we love the most, love each other, then we would probably love each other to by default, right? Well yeah….that did turn it to be right…..
Holly seeks adventure and along the way spreads such love and warmth. She takes risks and loves learning about new things, places, people, beliefs, concepts, etc. This chick is backpacking Europe alone for 3 months + Even though she is not from my hometown, having her in Stockholm was the first source of familiarity I had in a month and her presence gave me a chance to share my excitement and experiences with someone in person. It meant the world to me for her to see my home, meet my friends, and explore my city. On top of that, she was engaged and patient with me while I talked extensively about work and worked from home every night.
While she was here we walked around the historic Gamla Stan area of Stockholm. She encouraged me to try my first Swedish cinnamon bun, kannelbullar, and ooooooo it was yummy. We met up with my friends at the Stockholm Beer Festival and had a few beverages. We also went to my first Stockholm fotboll, or soccer, game at the suggestion of Holly’s brother from the states! Those are just some of the glorious, gluten free highlights of her stay. It was a visit I will never forget, and reminded me of how lucky I am to have a person like her in my life. Safe travels to Holly and I can’t wait for more visitors!!!
