So my working summer has started and Mini is trying to become a housewife during the summer. He will not get that lucky because he has to photograph environmental pictures for Atelje Lyktan. However, when I got to work I found an email from a coworker in Bromölla. He’s the best because he left us a bunch of suggestions for the summer – a lot of them involve touristing and exploring!

Worcation for real

Visiting interesting places like road churches (yes that’s a thing), visiting fairs and meeting interesting people. Does that sound like work? In my ears that sounds like a perfect summer – and I’ll get paid for it! And one of the most awesome things is that my coworker even suggested that there should be an article- series of “Annika visiting different places in Bromölla by Motorhome.” That sound like loads of fun and we are up for it! Bromölla is a small town in Skåne with less than 8 000 inhabitants. But I already found that they have one of the, if not the smallest library in Sweden!

How awesome would that be? To have like a series in the paper each week and present a different place each time. I call that worcation full time.

Making worcation a reality

Being a local editor this summer, I do believe that I can pitch ideas and there are a lot of the ideas that we got that I am really up for! And as a reporter, I always make sure that I’m invisible in all of my work. This is our private website and we want to be visible here. In all honesty, I don’t like reading articles where the reporter is writing about themselves. However, if I can be visible but not take over the article it might work out for both me and the newspaper. I mean something like…

“Annika and Mini are visiting an art gallery today – this is what the owner of the Gallery had to say…”

We are super excited about the summer and worcation full time!
