The proof is right there! ☀️👇

Just look at the dashes on the weather app: from now on, the sun simply does not set at my B&B! The magical time of the midnight sun has officially begun. ✨

That means 24 hours of daylight per day, hours of enjoying a warm, golden glow on the terrace, and midnight walks where time seems to stand still. It is a serene, unique experience that you truly have to feel for yourself. 🌲🇸🇪

Would you also like to recharge this summer under a sun that never sleeps? I still have a few spots available in the coming weeks! 🛌

Woohoo… Newsletter #7 just dropped ✨❄️

It’s honestly hard to believe that more than half a year has passed since newsletter #6. But after an incredibly busy winter season here in Swedish Lapland, time simply flew by.

The past months were filled with guests from all over the world, snowy adventures, long winter days, backcountry skiing, frozen rivers, northern lights and all the beautiful chaos that comes with life in the Arctic north.

And somewhere in between all of that, there are also new plans, ideas and exciting things slowly taking shape for the future of The Old Post Office.

So grab a coffee, get comfortable and enjoy this new update from life in the far north of Sweden ☕❄️

Happy Easter from my home in the north, from me and Olle 🐣

To all my wonderful guests – past, present, and future – and to everyone who follows along: thank you for being part of this journey.

May your days be filled with light, peace, and a touch of spring magic.

I hope to welcome you (back) soon!

🇸🇪 Holiday in beautiful Tornedalen Swedish Lapland – closer than you think!

Many people think the far north of Sweden is very far away – but in reality, getting here is easy.

✈️ There are direct flights to Luleå (Sweden) or Rovaniemi (Finland) in winter. From there, it’s just a relaxed drive to Hedenäset, a small village along the Torne River in Tornedalen, right on the border with Finland.

🚗 If you travel north by car: simply follow the E4 north and turn off at Kalix onto road 398 towards Hedenäset.

📍 My small B&B (former post office) is only 750 km from the North Cape – perfect for anyone planning a trip to the far north.

🏡 The former post office now offers an apartment with a queen-size bed and a sofa bed. It accommodates up to 4 adults or a family with 3 children and has views of the garden and the Torne River. A small kitchenette is available. On request, I prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The shower is located in the basement and is for private use, next to the sauna.

📅 I am open all year round – for a one-night stopover, a multi-day stay, or complete packages.

Joehoe!!!!! 🎉
Another Traveller Review Award.
Behind every review is a story.
An encounter, time spent in nature, or simply the space and quiet to do absolutely nothing.
Grateful to everyone who stayed here and took the time to leave something behind — in words, memories, or both.
A lovely confirmation of what has been growing here, in Swedish Lapland, with care and attention for years.

Yesterday was already the last day with my Dutch guests. Because they had a late afternoon flight, we started the day slowly with a relaxed breakfast. Then we got into the car and headed towards Rovaniemi. What they had seen the week before only in the dark now appeared completely different in daylight, with the sun shining — a beautiful new perspective.

In Rovaniemi we of course stopped by Santa Claus Village. They didn’t necessarily need to see Santa himself, but standing on the Arctic Circle — both outside and inside — was definitely on their list 🙂

After a delicious warm lunch, I dropped them off at the airport, and another Winter Wonder Week came to an end.

When I arrived back home later, there was still a lovely surprise waiting for me: a small gift as a thank-you for the beautiful week, and a heartfelt message in my guest book. One of those moments when you pause and think: this is why I do what I do ✨

And Olle? He already misses the guests 😉🐾

Day 7.
Today no forest, but the Tornio River. A wide white expanse of snow and ice ❄️
Sweden under one ski, Finland under the other. Two countries, two time zones 🌍 — without it ever really mattering along the way.

The weather works with us. Sun, clear blue skies, deep snow ☀️
We set our own track, nothing to follow but the terrain ahead. Moving forward, finding a rhythm, covering distance.

Olle is with us 🐾
Constantly in motion, running, stopping, moving on again. He belongs here just as much as the skis and the snow.

We stop for lunch over an open fire 🔥 and then continue.

A day where everything comes together.

Day 6 with my Dutch guests ❄️

Today we enjoyed a wonderful combination day. In the morning, Peter guided the snowmobile tour through the winter landscape. Between the two activities, we enjoyed a warm lunch with reindeer goulash — a perfect moment to warm up.

After that, it was time for dog sledding. Helene’s dogs ran full of energy through the snowy surroundings. Under her guidance, the guests were able to take turns mushing and driving the dog sled themselves. Peter rode ahead on the snowmobile to assist.

Altogether, it was a very successful day at Helenes Sleddogs in Storträsk. At the end of the day, we returned tired but happy, with wonderful memories of a special winter day.
