About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world, challenge my own beliefs and predispositions, learn from everyone I encounter, absorb the new insights from the different places I live, work and travel to.

ABOUT ME

I'm a nomadic vagabond who is trying to make most of life. I love travelling and immersing into different cultures, trying to understand differences, similarities and areas of conflict and reconciliation. I am a thinker, a researcher, trying to understand the causes of things. I love meeting new people, travelling to new places, learning new things and pushing myself with challenge and after challenge. I like to feel that I am doing my best to grow, both for my own personal development as well as in my relations to others (people and the planet)

Interests

this is such a hard thing to put down into one little box. I guess it is working against injustice, whether or not raising awareness of current politics in Sweden - seeing inequality growing rampantly for the past eight years - or to research about socially excluded and chronically poor groups in South Asia. I spend a lot of time reading, researching and debating as part of my PhD in London, I guess I am fully immersed in it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping out of an airplane. The crazy things one does as a twenty-year old.

Looking into the eyes of a wonderfully wise and loving mother elephant in Tanzania, she struck a cord right into my heart.

My husband Ulrik, he's so compassionate and committed to doing what he can to not destroy the world further, that I can't but admire his control and determination to lead by example, counting his carbon footprint, only purchasing ethical products (though mostly he doesn't consume that much), buying the most vegetarian ethical, local and organic food possible, being a nice human being overall. I find it inspiring and it gives me hope for the planet. it's a reocurrring awestruck moment.
