How it all started
After graduating from high school, I spent a few months studying in Australia. Later, I completed my bachelor’s degree in the Philippines and embarked on an exciting adventure by relocating to Sweden in 2018.
Along the way, I got married, moved into an apartment with my husband, and together we embraced our new life in this stunning Nordic country.
These remarkable experiences inspired me to rebrand my blog, karenroldan.net, with a focus on travel and living in Sweden content.
Here, you’ll find a wealth of travel experiences, advice, and ideas for fellow adventurers and globetrotters.
You’ll discover stories about my journey, practical tips about living in Sweden, and captivating tales from my travels around the world.
So, join me on this exciting journey, and let’s explore the wonders of Sweden and the world together.
Dive into a world of adventure, personal growth, and inspiration with me – your trusted guide and friend, Karen.
