Hi,

We’re Mertin Kevinton and Linda Kathrine. We arrived in Sweden in early 2020 as a student. It was cold sunny day. Everything was new and unfamiliar to us. We knew nothing about Swedish lifestyle, transportation, food habits, seasonal clothing, and many other things. We want to remember our memories in Sweden and The region we travel world wide. That’s why we created Boreal Diary. We use it as our diary.

What We Share on Boreal Diary

Here on our blog, we write about:

• Our personal travel stories and travel tips from Sweden, Scandinavia, Europe, and North America.

• Travel gear reviews and what we personally use during our trips.

• Honest food reviews and local dining experiences from different places we visit.

• How we adjusted to Swedish culture, climate, and lifestyle.

• Our story of coming to Sweden as international students and what we learned along the way.

• Helpful guides about study options, scholarships, and student life in Sweden.

• Simple tips for living in the north—from winter clothing ideas to travel planning.

What BorealDiary Means?

Boreal means northern part of the earth. Swedn is on the Boreal region. BorealDiary is our personal diary where we sahre our life and experience in northern country – Sweden and other regions.

Why we share with you:

We share our experiences because we don’t want anyone new in Sweden to face the same problems those we faced. We think it will help someone in some way. If our stories, travel gear tips, or food reviews help someone explore Scandinavia with confidence, that makes us truly happy.

Kind Regards

– Mertin Kevinton and Linda Kathrine
