Holidays in the sun seem to be out of fashion in Sweden right now. Everyone is talking and doing hemesters and tours within Sweden. Trains to Hamburg would be really popular for nearby tourism.

This was definitely true last summer, when it was trendy to flight-shame. But human nature being what it is, the itch to travel to the sun is inevitably creeping back, and I’ve noticed several colleagues returning from breaks in Bali, Goa, Thailand and Sri Lanka. They just don’t talk very much about it.

Is hemester a play on words with hemma and semester, i.e. a vacation at home?

Edit: Yes.
