FAQ

Who are you?

I am Maria, the founder of TravelGrip, is a 40+ something Swede travelling around the world on my spare time. I have been doing so frequently in the past 12 years. I’ve lived abroad before that, and made my way to the capital of Sweden in 2008 to settle down here until my next move (to France closer to retirement). 2009 I started blogging. Having visited 50+ countries of the world, the goal is to keep on adding countries and share stories from the journeys through the TravelGrip network.

My daily work in Stockholm, Sweden consists of working online with online marketing and audit of medias, I have also created an online course in Display Advertising.

How big is TravelGrip.se?

TravelGrip.se is continuously growing, the site was launched in January 2013 and in 2014 TravelGrip.se was accredited the 4th Best Travel Blog in Sweden, through Travel Blog Awards held by Super Saver Travel (Etraveli Group). The readers visit the blog for travel information, inspiration and to see photos from destinations.

TravelGrip has also participated as guest blogger on a blog for a Swedish Travel Agent, Resfeber.se.

How do you afford to travel so much?

I personally finance my travels by saving money made from my full time work in Sweden. Through advertising over the TravelGrip network I get some funding for the costs related to the site management.

Where have you travelled?

I have been to 52 countries (2019), from Asia to America. See full list here.

Which is your favourite city in the world?

Los Angeles has grown on me in the last five years. Since I have friends living in L.A I have been able to explore the city as a native and have some favourite places I always visit. However, since 2022 the bi city is yet again experiencing difficulties in how to handle the many homeless people residing on streets and lots, so nowadays I do not walk anywhere alone after dark.

In Europe, Berlin is the place I keep on returning to. Much thanks to KaDeWe and the experience you can get there, I can easily spend a whole day here!

In Sweden, Stockholm is awesome and Östersund cosy yet a mecca for foodies eventhough it’s a small town in the north.

Which country is you favourite one?

France has a special place in my heart. I have spent lots of time on and off in various parts of France and all are as good as it gets. In my opinion. As a result I am investing in a vacation home in Antibes, and will probably eventually and move to France.

What Camera do you use?

My main camera is a Sony RX model, a pretty compact camera with a large lens, but I also use the larger Canon EOS 450D with an 18-55 mm lens and/or zoom 28-300. It happens that I use an iPhone. 😉
