The skyline of Kraków on a scrisp January afternoon

View over Kraków on a fresh January day

I have been taking photos ever since my uncle and aunt inspired me to buy my first DSL at the age of 16. I was born in Holland, moved to the eastern part of the Netherlands, immigrated to Sweden. Here I wrote a travel guide book as thick as a brick about my new home country, was a news and radio correspondent and was a teacher in Swedish schools. 15 years after settling in the land of the Vikings, I popped over to the southern side of the Baltic Sea, and found my third home in Kraków, Poland. The third time's the charm. 
A throw-back to 2011 is my latest edition: a small series of Helsingborg, the harbour town that for many travellers is the first beach head they conquer in Sweden.

Helsingborg
15 May 2026 • Helsingborg explicitly presents itself together with the Danish city of Helsingør. The ferries sailing back and forth between the two border cities reach the other side in 20 minutes. The old town has a few gems.
Sveti Đorđe (Saint George Island)
24 April 2026 • Sveti Đorđe Island is a tiny natural island just off the coast of Peras in the Bay of Kotor, and is almost entirely covered by the Saint George Benedictine monastery built in the 12th century. The island is currently privately owned and cannot be visited.
