In my youth I surprised everyone, especially myself, by working on several continents. My cultural identity now lies somewhere in the middle of the North Sea; a permanent expatriate even in my home country.
Swedish culture had a big influence on me. The village of Dalaro was where I spent the Summer of 1978 in a seaside stuga and learned the language. On trips to IKEA it's a treat to read the books on the shelves. Even the weather in Abo is of interest to me.

I miss the waterside Finnish sauna (pronounced sow'na - as in a female pig) and skinny-dipping in the Baltic.
