Joakim Almén is a southern Dalacarlian, with an equal fondness for five-star hotel bars and late-night kebab joints. Stockholm was the only reasonable destination — except when it comes to the kebab.
He has more than ten years of experience as a writer and digital editor at lifestyle magazines like Café and King, where he wrote in-depth profiles, reported on Stockholm’s latest openings, and worked his way through travel guides to cities most people have only seen from a plane window. In recent years, he has combined his writing with work on some of Sweden’s biggest TV productions.
He has his finger on the pulse when it comes to music, nightlife, fashion, and whatever happens in the city long after bedtime stories are over. The fact that he plays in a rock band himself — and knows the difference between a good and a bad Moscow Mule (never skimp on the lime; always serve it in a copper mug) — only adds to his credibility. Ask him about the weekend’s best concerts or where to grab a drink, and you’ll get a breakdown worthy of Teletext page 377.
That his heart also beats a little faster for sports is another story entirely.
