About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly 25-year-old Swede, studying medicine in Copenhagen, Denmark. I am currently hiking the Pacific Crest Trail for five months from Mexico to Canada.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson that I really like:

I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the PCT is definitely the most exciting adventure that I've ever been on. I just love the simple lifestyle, being out in nature, meeting new people and seeing new amazing sights every day. Waking up at sunrise each morning, going to bed at sunset each night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to tie your shoelaces in less than a second. And Tetris strategy. Also, how to make clicking sounds with your belly-button.

Basically, all the essential life skills without which we would never survive.
