We are Sushil, Priyanka, and Shreya

Hello! We are the Desi European(s).

Our story began when we moved from India to Sweden six years ago. We suddenly found ourselves in a world of fika breaks, "Lagom" living, and winters that were much darker (and colder!) than we were used to.

But in the quiet of the North, we found a different kind of beauty. We discovered that Swedish efficiency brings a strange peace, yet the warmth of a Mediterranean summer can still rival the hospitality back home. We’ve learned that while the sourdough might be crustier and the Sundays quieter, you can always find a good cup of chai if you look hard enough—though it usually comes with a side of cardamom buns now!

This blog is our attempt to bridge these two worlds. We want to show you Europe not just as a collection of tourist spots, but as a home. From navigating family life in Scandinavia to wandering through the hidden corners of the continent, "Desi European" is about blending our Indian roots with our passion for European exploration.

Whether you’re dreaming of your first trip or looking for practical family travel hacks, we hope our stories inspire you to travel farther, deeper, and with a little more joy.
