Iceland prepping for a #vulcano eruption. Local experts fear that Mount Keilir, only 25 km (15 mi) from the capital #Reykjavik might erupt after being asleep for 800 years. The more than 11,000 earthquakes up to 5.7 on the Richter scale the past week could be signs. #Iceland

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.
