I’m a Swedish journalist and writer, living in Rio de Janeiro since 2002. I’m covering Brazil and Latin America for the Swedish newspapers Sydsvenskan, GP, Aftonbladet and the Danish daily Politiken. I also writes for the Scandinavian football magazine Offside, the travel magazine Vagabond and the life style magazine Café. In 2010, my first book ”Fantasy Island – Brave New Heart of Brazil”(Atlas), was released. It received great reviews and can be ordered here. In 2011 I was nominated for the Swedish Grand Journalism Prize for my work with the documentary ”A Royal Nazi Secret” about Walther Sommerlath, the father of Queen Silvia of Sweden.
