Life in Gothenburg is a world away from Tjalve Mollison-Sjöberg's isolated upbringing on the edge of the Kahurangi National Park. The Karamea native left New Zealand in 2018 and spent a couple of years working as a chef in Stockholm - one of the rising European food cities - before moving to Gothenburg in September 2020. He is currently in the final throes of completing his masters in Geography at the University of Gothenburg but keeps his hand in as a part-time chef working at a bar in the city. Tjalve lives with his partner Mathilda, a Gothenburg native, in Johanneberg, one of the city's central suburbs. He's Calling Home this morning.
