About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm finding out in how many different ways I can love my life

ABOUT ME

I am basically a very happy and cheerful person, interested in things and people and stories and easy to fascinate. I am always very busy and occupated though, running around and trying to organize my tight schedule and to fit in all my friends, a lot of music and subjects to study. I love being busy and doing lots of interesting things! But I also need to just sit down with a good friend from time to time, have a good talk and listen to some wonderful jazz music or so... I adore looking at any kind of water suface gleaming in the sun light, sitting under huge old trees, walking around in oak forests as you can find them in southern Sweden, or sitting in book shops and just losing any sense of time and place while thumbing through books .

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the difference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess that actually life itself is one amazing thing that I have had the joy to experience for several years now :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn so many new languages (and others I have already started to study), yoga, philosophy, philosophical, sociological and political theories (anything that's leftist, basically - well, the other stuff is interesting too, but that's where my heart beats :), history, more music, more dancing, literature, art, cooking, and, and, and...
I don't really know whether I have any special knowledge, I know some languages and music to a certain extent... and I know baking veeeery good chocolate cakes :)
