Karin grew up in the Stockholm area and studied in Uppsala, a University town one hour north of Stockholm, before deciding to move back to the capital. She holds an MA in Language Education and has been teaching English and French in Swedish schools for more than 30 years. To improve her language skills and knowledge of different cultures, she has also spent time working and studying in the UK, France, Switzerland, and the USA.
During her years of studies in Uppsala, Karin also worked as a tour leader in Brussels, Paris, and on the Channel island of Jersey. More recently, during the summer holidays, she has hosted passengers traveling through the 58 locks of the Göta Canal, a waterway between the two cities of Stockholm and Göteborg, known as “The Blue Ribbon.”
Besides her background in linguistics and culture, Karin's interests include music, dance, art, and spending time with friends and family. Working as a qualified Stockholm guide constantly gives her plenty of new discoveries and knowledge about her city.
Karin was phenomenal and I would be happy to recommend her to anyone looking to have a wonderfully patient and engaging guide! Anyone lucky enough to get her will have a terrific time.
Just a delightfully informative and friendly person. We loved it and we love Context now too
Very effective guide, shared good advice about things to see and do for rest of trip.
