Roads and kingdoms, roots and borders, historical and contemporary stories from the pale blue dot. DNA-strands, jungle treasures, atomic bombs etc. In 2004 I earned a bachelor in journalism. After 12 years as staff reporter (and sometimes photographer) at local newspapers in Skåne, Sweden I decided to move on and become a freelancer. Over the last few years I have been published in numerous newspapers and magazines including The Telegraph, Aftonbladet, Aftenposten, El País, Amnesty Press, Arbetet Global, Arbetaren, Fokus, Forskning & Framsteg, Hufvudstadsbladet, OmVärlden, Populär Historia, Släkthistoria, Svenska Dagbladet and HD-Sydsvenskan. For a while I have also been freelancing as editor of the magazine Släkthistoria, published by Bonnier Publications.
Sometimes I travel to far-away places like Kyrgyzstan, Suriname or the Marshall Islands in search for unique, contemporary stories. Sometimes I dig into archives and old books trying to find stories from the past and connect them with the present day. Most things on this website are written in Swedish but my piece about the Aral Sea is in English, professionally translated by Johan Björkwall.
