As a native Swede with a Finnish mother, Karl identifies as both Nordic and Scandinavian. He left Sweden at 19 to explore the world, and stayed abroad for almost 8 years—during which he backpacked, worked every job there was, earned a degree from UC Berkeley, and met the future mother of his children. He ultimately returned to his native Malmö with his love, where they now have 3 Swedish-American boys eager to explore the world.

Excuse me. All four of my grandparents were born in Sweden. All the women are blondes or redheads. I’ve traced my family back to 1520 Sweden. My DNA results are 88% Swedish, 2% Neanderthal, 1% Densovian, 6% Sami, 3% Celtic. How can you say I’m not Swedish?
