Amanda has been a travel writer for 35 years. She’s written and edited countless travel books, including the Rough Guide to Sweden. She loves writing about all things Scandinavia, from Danish design and Swedish saunas to Norwegian national parks. Walking long-distance footpaths is her passion, and her favourite Nordic country is Iceland, where she’s hiked across volcanic landscapes to bathe in warm natural springs, and watched whales swimming in the Atlantic.
