Slow living is a great way to keep yourself grounded during the summer.

One of my favorite ways to slow down is by taking a trip to the Swedish Archipelago. I love going to Landsort, which is a Swedish village with a lighthouse on the island of Oja. It has about 30 permanent residents, and it's known for its beautiful views and proximity to Stockholm.

The tower was built in 1689 and an upper conical iron section was added in 1870. Since early times, open fires have been burning at this place, serving as beacons for ships passing through the area.
