First we take Manhattan...

A very, very busy year is drawing to its end.

Together with Johnny Wohlin I have interviewd famous Swedish restaurateur Pontus Frithiof and when I spent an afternoon with table setting queen Catharina Lindeberg, Morgan King was with me. Morgan and I have also travelled across the Western Cape of South Africa, enjoying the regions food, wine and "joie de virve" lifestyle. Something along the same lines was what met Nicholas John Stevens and I when we explored Gran Canaria to find what lies beyond the most obvious tourist attractions. I've also learnt all about thai boxing because Karin Skoog and I decided to investigate what goes on when some of Sweden's most promising fighters go to Thailand to get in shape for upcoming championships.

On top of that I've also interviewed author Mats-Eric Nilsson, written about Reykjavik, cosy skiing destinations, what to think about when you need to get vaccinated for that much awaited trip abroad, and been all over European Russia with Team Árstíðir. During two intense weeks of touring we were met by hospitality from old and new friends, spent more hours than we cared to count on night trains and played TV shows (one that also had Spike Lee as a guest, he was a very kind and down-to-earth guy) and sold out venues from Petrozavodsk in the north to Voronezh in the south.

To name just a few of the projects...

So. Yes, it's been very, very busy. I've travelled more than the year has months and loved every minute of it. A lot of the jobs are yet to be published, but here's a small selection of what's been going on.
