I was not sad when I had to go back to Stockholm for the second time in one month.
The food, the people, the islands and the atmosphere is really amazing.
This time I was in Stockholm because the company I work for had a kickoff. This kickoff was held at a castle on a teeny tiny island called Kastellholmen, in Stockholm city. The view from the castle was unreal!
Every time we had lunch or dinner, we had to walk down the hill from the hastle and go aboard a small ship that had docked next to the castle.
I had to juggle working for this company and my own company while I was there. But I stayed at a very nice hotel and had a really good hotel room and was able to set up a comfortable office there. I also worked from the castle for some time, and at coffee shops.
I work remotely for this Swedish company, from Norway. It's super nice to go there once in a while to meet with my coworkers. Some of them also work from other countries, and we don't get to meet very often. In my team, we are actually all spread out in different countries. The only one located in Sweden is the team manager.
Working remotely is the bomb! I've previously written a post about some of the challenges I face when it comes to remote working, but all in all, there are more benefits than challenges.
And once again I ate my way through the city. I can't get over the food. It will get its very own post, because it desevers it.
