About Me

Steve: Born in Blackpool, the tourismn capital of Northern England. I moved away - to Carlisle. Studied media at the - then named - "Arts College" - and eventually started working for BBC Local Radio. Now I embark on a new mission, to move to Sweden. So WHY Sweden? I have visted Sweden on three occasions. Twice in Stockholm and once on an Island "Marstrand" (I think it's called), near Gothenburg - and I love it. My best friend in the whole world is Swedish (but currently living in Carlisle) - and I have two more great friends living in Sweden at the moment. So HOW will I make this move? and when by? I have no idea! But I'm hoping to be ready by the summer of 2010. Keep reading to update yourselves on my progress. Tack (I know one word... that's a good start! - it means thanks, for those who will be taking this journey with me).
