Welcome!


My name is Magnus Londen, I’m a Finnish journalist and travel writer based in Helsinki. My specialities are feature writing and travel pieces, most of which are published in Swedish and Finnish.

Texts in English

The Swedish and Finnish versions of my website contain excerpts from my books as well as approximately 300 articles, profiles, reviews etc. But until your Swedish or Finnish is fluent enough, you can spend some time reading the feature articles that have been translated into English.

E-books and classic books available

PDF versions of some of my books, which are sold out, can be ordered via the website. These are available in Swedish and Finnish.

Radio & tv-show

If you want to practice your Swedish, which you should, then why don't you tune into my weekly radio talk show, which I host at the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle), on the Swedish-speaking channel Radio Vega. Podcasts and streaming audio are of course also available. The name of the programme is Eftersnack. The programme is also broadcast on tv on Yle-FST5, it's a kind of sneak peep into the radio studio, always the last show on Fridays at approx 11.45 PM. Web-tv as well.

Please contact me if you have any further queries and questions:
