About Me

Hola!

I am currently living in a big Coop in Madison, Wi, but am originally from Malmö, Sweden. I survive the winter with lots of hot beverages, good stories and dreams about the summer and a growing garden. I appreciate arts and crafts and am into woodworking.

PHILOSOPHY

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
