Åland According to Mark Levengood
This summer it is time for the second stamp in the series “My Åland”, an interesting collection of “celebrity stamps” from the Åland Post. Next in line is the Finno-Swedish media personality Mark Levengood, who recently hosted the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest.
Mark Levengood is born in the USA, but moved to Finland when he was three. He grew up in Helsinki, but moved to Sweden later on. It was also there that he got into show business and had his major breakthrough. Today, Mark works, among other things, as a TV and radio show host, lecturer, writer and master of ceremonies.
Mark’s mother comes from Åland and still lives here today. As a child Mark spent his summer holidays at the family summer cottage just outside Mariehamn. To Mark, Åland is strongly associated with summer and childhood. He also has taken this as his starting-point when creating his stamp: a photo of him and his brother Stephen on the beach a warm summer day.
The first day cover with the new stamp will also be available signed by Mark Levengood himself!
