Our Favorite Memories of 2017

We’re all about living in the present, but sometimes we can’t help but look back at the year and all the fun memories we’ve made with our Sunshinestories family. From the guests that roll through and change our lives, to the staff that have become more like family, there are all kinds of ways to

Yesterday, our facebook and instagram feeds where full of bright, sunny images, with everyone telling us spring is here. The snow is apperently gone in Malmö.
