I was🚶in the park and 👀 a 👨 🍽 something strange. It looked like a 🌭 with mashed 🥔🥔 in a pita 🫓. So I went to this stand and asked the man “is that really a 🌭 with mashed 🥔🥔 ?! Is that a Swedish thing?!” He replied: “Yes, very Swedish.” So I said “Ok, I have to try one. Travel experience, you know…” It’s called “Tunnbrödsrulle.” ——————————————————————————————————————- “This classic Swedish street food item consists of a flatbread (tunnbröd) that is wrapped around grilled or boiled sausages. Usual condiments include mashed potatoes, shrimp-and-mayonnaise salad, onions, lettuce, and ketchup or mustard. Tunnbrödsrulle is a large, nutritious snack, usually enjoyed late at night.”
Changing of the Guard 💂 The Royal Chapel at The Stockholm PalaceKyiv had the deepest underground I’d ever been to. Really felt like I was descending into Dante’s circles ⭕️. So I was surprised at the depth of the Stockholm City underground. Not nearly as deep as Kyiv, BUT, it is two escalators down! I didn’t expect it.

Once the scene of a bloodbath, Stortorget used to be the political heart of the town. In 1520, it witnessed a large execution as the Danish conqueror Kristian II had 82 Swedish dignitaries arrested and beheaded (all those who had opposed his rule). Now, people walk around smiling and eating ice cream. Nobel Prize Museum
The Art of Fika Both a verb and a noun. Means “to have coffee” or “a coffee break”, but it’s about so much more than that. Fika in Sweden is when you sit with your family, friends or colleagues, and take a coffee or tea, often with something sweet on the side. Cinnamon Roll. Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪 13july22
I do have a passion for bikes around the world and how they integrate into various cultures. My first book documenting a country’s bike culture was: Bikes of Japan 🇯🇵
