About Us

Butterfly logotype

We go. We pay. We tell it exactly as it was.

No freebies. No sponsors. We book, pay, and leave like everyone else.

Iternitty started as a private notebook, somewhere to keep track of where we had been and what we thought. Over time it grew. Now we share it, hoping it helps someone decide.

We are Ina and Kristoffer, a Swedish couple who travel to eat, eat to remember, and have strong opinions about both. Occasionally about other things too.

We are based in Sweden and travel when we can.

The name came from a pronunciation problem. Itinerary was, and remains, a word Kristoffer cannot say correctly. One day Iternitty came out instead. It stuck.

The butterfly in our logo goes where it wants. So do we.

Ina

Loves spicy food, distrusts anything raw and slimy, and will not tolerate a fork with crooked prongs. She is a certified sommelier with a master’s degree in psychology — both qualifications come in useful, though rarely at the same time.

She calls Kristoffer a marshmallow. This is a reference to the Marshmallow Test, and to his relationship with patience, which is complicated.

Kristoffer

Also a sommelier. Will eat almost anything — except eggs and insects, though he makes an exception for green ants, which is a sentence he never expected to write.

He dislikes edible gold on food. Not for principled reasons. It just irritates him.

When ill, he ignores every piece of advice Ina gives him and then asks for her chicken soup. He calls her cupcake. She lets him.

He dislikes flying. But staying home is worse.

We do not travel only to eat. But we do make the reservation before we go.
