We don't need Billy anymore - 21st century is much...
IKEA says “do it yourself” but those guys thought putting together pieces of wood and placing it in a corner of a room was boring, so they simply decided to make the bookshelf become more vivid. So for the next time, if you need a bookshelf for all your student books, you can either get at IKEA (..boring!) or be creative and do it really “YOURSELF”!

Try one of our favourites nations in Lund -...
Lund’s student life is unique! Why? Because of all the different Nations offered to students. But what is a Nation?
In a nutshell….
it’s a restaurant where you can get cheap food, it’s a cafe where you can have fika or brunch, it’s a pub where you get cheap drinks, food and often live bands, it’s a club where you have dance floors, DJs and nice (cheaper) drinks, it’s a student club doing...

Visit Kullaberg and become a citizen of Ladonia
One of the most amazing parts in Sweden is the Kullaberg peninsula about an hour north of Lund and Malmö. Its beaches, cliffs and caves as well as its small villages make it a place you shouldn’t miss. But its main attraction is the Nimis – a castle on the beach made out of driftwood. And if that wasn’t crazy enough, you should know that Nimis does not stand on Swedish ground but is actually...

Well, if you find yourself in that situation, when you wonder what’s wrong with your memory that you can’t remember where you put your bike (…no it’s nothing wrong with...

Do you need books and copies for your studies?
We interviewed Sergio, the owner of “Lundaböcker”. (Just scroll down and see what he explained to us).
Sergio came to Lund 9 years ago directly from the U.S., though he is originally from Chile. Currently, Sergio lives together with his wife and two kids here in beautiful Lund. He studied as well at Lund University. Since he is running his own business, it is easy to guess that he has a degree...

Swedish portrait
As marketers we cannot escape the tendency to observe and analyze everything. After being in Sweden for a while, we have formed an idea about the Swedes. We are not saying it is truly universal, but it is applicable in at least 85% of the cases. So that you know what to expect when coming to Lund, here comes a short portrait:
They wear very funny socks, different patterns, even with more elegant...
