Magic of A Swedish Midsummer

On the island of Gotland, where my family roots run deep, Midsummer is more than a celebration. From the early morning swim to the raising of the Maypole and the taste of strawberry sponge cake during fika, every moment is infused with magic and meaning. This story is a reflection on what it means to welcome the fullness of summer with open arms, surrounded by loved ones and the beauty of tradition.
