Yesterday a severe thunderstorm lasting about 1.5 Yesterday a severe thunderstorm lasting about 1.5 hours struck Kraków. The sky lightened up like a disco ball. 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

Huawei will be banned from expanding Sweden's 5G networks, the Swedish court decided. "The security of the nation" was the main factor for the decision. Sweden fears Huawei would give China easy spying access on the country's interests. #sweden #huawei #security #china

Swedish parliament has sacked the country's prime minister Stefan Löfven this morning, in a vote of no confidence. The ousted leader has a week to decide what to do, but it will likely mean new elections. #Sweden #politics

Poland seems sometimes quite close to Iran when it comes to religion and politics. The archbishop of Kraków declared in Saturday's mass "Poles have a duty to thank God for the gift of the life of the (ruling PiS party) Chairman (Jarosław Kaczyński)". #poland

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.
