Hej, I'm Frankie, your local Stockholm guide! I'm originally from Canada but have made Stockholm my chosen home since 2020. I'm passionate about culture, history, anthropology, sociology, design and architecture. I first came to Sweden to pursue a Joint Master's of Science in Biotechnology at 3 top universities: Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm University, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Since graduating, I have also studied Swedish history, lifestyle, culture, art, and urban planning. My knowledge is therefore split between the natural sciences & technology and the social sciences. When I travel, I'm always looking for authenticity and new ways to experience the world. So as a local guide, I tend to recommend the hidden gems and the hole in the wall, mom-and-pop shops that most tourists (and even fellow locals) don't know about. I love to share my passion for Stockholm as a storyteller and filmmaker on YouTube, too. Listen to my podcast, "Somewhere in Stockholm" on Spotify if you want a little introduction to the city's most interesting people and places. Looking forward to meeting you on one of my tours! Let's experience Swedish culture together!
