The first BBQ outside of the season - and this in the high north, in Stockholm!! What a beautiful, beautiful day it was.
Anna and me took full advantage of the sun ;-))


Best moment(s):

Working, sunbathing, BBQing, playing a Swedish game in the park, random&hilarious moments with the Swedish MC - all of this during 3 days in Stockholm last week.

Thanks for being there for me, you two :-)

Best moment(s):

Strolling through warm, sunny Stockholm, eating ice cream in Gamla Stan, a moment of complete relaxedness sunbathing on the stairs of the National Theatre and the following BBQ in the park next to the Vasa Museum. And of course - beating Joanna, João and Ivo three times together with Himanshu and Luca in this cool Swedish wood game which name I forgot. Woohoo! ;-)

From April 17th-20th, this awesome group of people rocked KICK-OFF 2008. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks to them, thanks to the OC and thanks most of all to the delegates, who made this one hell of a wonderful, successful and random last national conference of my term.


The eXchange spirit at KICK-OFF! Thanks for everything guys, it is such a huge pleasure working with you!!!

Best moment(s):

During the huge stressful buzz of the KICK-OFF week: finding time for great discussions with some people I have not seen for such a long time, receiving signs of appreciation of people dear to my heart, a random moment with 'my exchangers' (exchange attack!!), seeing the smile back on someone's face after a difficult moment and the following hug, endless girl talk with my one and only Regi & Anna :-))
