Sweden's stricter #COVID19 rules went into effect today. Less people allowed in stores and at food courts in shopping centres you'll have to eat alone at a table. In restaurants with their own entrance are exempted from this rule. #Sweden

Finland will close large parts of its society in an attempt to slow #COVID19 down. Restaurants, gyms, museums and other public places will be shut down from next week to the end of the month. #Finland (pop. 5.5 mln) is slowly moving to 800 Corona fatalities.

Iceland is shaking wildly currently. Since Wednesday more than 10,000 earthquakes hit the North Atlantic island state, with a 5.7 on the Richter scale as the strongest so far, authorities report. Experts have no clue to when the activity eases. #Iceland #earthquake

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.
