About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to make people feel welcomed and with no preasure what so ever.

ABOUT ME

My main interests is music, silence, time with myself, cooking, running, swimming, sauna, reading, thinking, writing, bicycling, long forest walks, the ocean, contemplation, love to sleep, drinking tea, being out at night, walking, looking at the stars, fresh air and some other small things...

Musically I am listening to a lot. Mainly electronic music. (No techno as in trance and such...). I have been in the music industry for 17 years and done everything from running label, managing bands and artists, arranging concerts and festivals and releasing magazines.

I love too cook. There days is goes mostly in vegan. I develop my knowledge all the time. and thai. I enjoy it so much. My body adores it and I feel so easy going. I have no imediate plans to change it. It has come as a blessing for me.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live a quiet life as possible. I do not drive, since I don´t have a driverslisence, I bicycle because of health and environment and low cost. I recycle all tin cans, glass and paper. I seldom overcook. I eat less than i did. I eat more correct nutrition wise, now. I do not kill insects, because i believe they have a more important role in this system than I do. I am never ill or diseased. I have a good physical and metal health. My life becomes more and more minimal and simplistic in a material sense. More and more "items" are leaving my life. I only keep the items I am 100% true to. Why do we need all the things we pollute our mind with? I eat porrige every morning. I eat 1 fruit a day, before 12.00. I am a very independant individual. Enjoying to solve and find out things on my own. The hard way...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 8 years old, I was hit by a car in 60 km. I was in coma for 14 days and my skull was fractured. To my it was in a way an "amazing" thing to do....
