About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking through Spain and Morocco

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old medical student in Uppsala, Sweden. I love travelling and meeting new friends. (I think these lines are quite common at this web site, but still, it is true!)

I have a great passion for music and I have been on tours worldwide with different bands and choirs. My latest tour was to Berlin and Praha in april 2010 with a big band.
I have lived in Chamonix, France for 4 months working as a singer in an after ski band. During day time I went skiing or snowboarding..oo, it was a wonderful time!
I have been to many different interesting locations, but I never seem to get enough...

Because I am such a restless person I hope that I'll get a job where I get to travel a lot. One goal with my medical studies is for example to work for "Médecins sans frontières".

I consider myself as an easy going person. I am interested in almost everything (except for machines, football and collecting stamps) and love meeting people from different backgrounds and countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, be spontaneous!

Music, Movies, and Books

At this very moment I read Orhan Pamuk "snow".
The latest good movie I watched was "Priceless" with Audrey Tatou.
Music...jazz, indie pop, classical music, funk, sing songwriter and so on. At the moment my speakers play "sigur ros". Name dropping good bands and artists: The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Coldplay, Julian Casablancas, Jamie Cullum, Teitur, Keane, Erik Satie, Debussy, Chopin, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, EST and sooo on..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, many things..the first thing that pop ups in my head now is my trip to the north of Sweden last summer. Me and some friends climbed Kebnekaise, Swedens highest mountain. It was a perfect trip with amazing scenery, quality time with great freinds and also a challenge for my legs...
