About me

Hi, I'm Robert Birming. I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I work as a home inspector, and I love blogging.

This is where I write, think out loud, and run my little blog lab. I started blogging over twenty years ago and it's still one of my biggest interests.

If you ever want to say hi or share a thought, the contact page and guestbook are just around the corner.

Curious for more? Be my guest...

I grew up in a small town called Åkersberga, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) outside of Stockholm. These days I live in the Östermalm district of Stockholm. It's often described as "one of Sweden's most exclusive districts," but believe me, my life is far from fancy. My apartment is a 25 m² (270 ft²) rental. Still, I like it.

I trained as a bricklayer and worked in construction for about ten years. After that, I tried my hand at a few different things. Musician (drums), web entrepreneur, digital marketer, and caretaker.

These days I work as a home inspector. I visit several homes every day and give homeowners advice on how to prevent water damage, fire, and burglary. I love it. It lets me explore new places and meet people I might never have crossed paths with otherwise. Many of those encounters become stories on my blog.

If you still haven't had enough of me, there's my interview on People & Blogs waiting for you.
