ABOUT ME

I enjoy slightly off-the-path places and adventures, most of all. Not too big on tourist sites -- but in any case I love people and I love travel. For a living I do social science research, and this has taken me fortunately to quite a few countries and places. But now I’m more stably based in Sweden, where I'm working as a researcher.

Hopped around the mountains of northern Afghanistan, where apparently there were still active mines
