How #Sweden looks at its neighbours opening up (Denmark, Finland) and restricting (Norway) to #COVID19; kids spreading the virus equally as grown-ups, plus the ongoing #gangwar in #Stockholm suburbs. Earlier this morning I chatted about this in #deochtend at @radio1be .

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 live and work from parts of the year, and where I got “stranded” a bit longer in the Spring 2020 COVID19 crisis. Looking for a co-op for a joint project or assignment? Let me know.
