Weird fuzz in Finland. The Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin likes to party, like many other people. Now, somebody put videos made of a private party online and Finnish newspapers shamelessly report on it. Wondering if male politicians would get the same "treatment". #inequality

The father of a girl born as a result of IVF has raised over ten times his crowdfunding target to sue the education minister and the author of a new textbook.

About me

In 2006 I left my family, friends and the security of a relatively steady editorial job in the Netherlands to move to Sweden, for love. I criss-crossed through my new land like crazy to make a travel guide book, added a new career as a language teacher at elementary and lower secondary schools, and became a freelance Scandinavia correspondent & fixer for Belgian and Dutch media. Since Summer 2021 I live and work as a news and content creator in Poland.
