A landmark in Kraków's Old Town: the Bazylika Mar A landmark in Kraków's Old Town: the Bazylika Mariacka. Every hour a trumpet player performs the Hejnał from the tower. A tough job, as the selection process is far from easy. Last round for a new trumpet player none of the 15 applicants made it. The test includes climbing the stairs to the top with a certain time limit. #krakow #kraków #citywalk #citytrip #streetphotography #małopolska #malopolska #poland #polska #polen #oldtown #landmark #staremiasto #mainsquare #rynekgłówny

This is the first photo after it eased down, an hour into the storm, when only some rumble stayed. It shows the towers of the Kraków Barbican, a fortress from 1490 that was part of the city's defences back then. #barbakan #defence #historic #landmark #oldtown #staremiasto #defense #fortress #krakow #kraków #poland #małopolska #polen #poland #polska #citytrip #citywalk

There she is, the old town of my new hometown. Hav There she is, the old town of my new hometown. Have you been following me for some time, this summerly move from the Stockholm region to Kraków doesn't come as a surprise. I am realising a dream I had for years, and right now everything seems to fall into place. My place on a perfect location in a vibrant city that has been home to me for many shorter periods. Here I will share life with friends, with my love plus a group of wonderful people that almost feels like family. Here I plan to eat the great Polish flexitarian cuisine, and will much cook my own. Here I plan to work, dance, enjoy, talk, read, have a piwo every now and then, hike, drive and celebrate life.15 years ago I moved to Sweden, and I will be there often. But home is now further south; my cross-Baltic commuting changes direction.How long my Krakówian enterprise will last is yet unknown. A few months or years? Stay tuned and find out. #kraków #cracow #małopolska #poland #polen #polska #citywalk #streetphotography #sundown #sunset #oldtown #rynek

Wool blanket to cover part of the Swedish glacier in Härjedalsfjällen over Summer to prevent melting a big success. Researchers say a layer of 3 to 4 metres thick ice was saved. Now they want a bigger test next Summer. Good results earlier in the Alps too. #sweden #ClimateAction

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. A heartbreak later I’m still around – having crisscrossed like crazy through my new land to make a travel guide book, adding a new career as a language teacher at elementary and lower secondary schools, becoming a freelance Scandinavia correspondent & fixer for Belgian and Dutch media. From Sweden I pop across the Baltic Sea, often to Poland where I sometimes live and work from.
