About Me

Always looking for new adventures and experiences. For some reason I seem to always leave my country as a solo traveler, but I love meeting people along the way and have made a lot of great friends while traveling. I would probably describe myself as open person with an attitude that says "Why not?" and I am certain everything always works out for the best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to quit my job a couple of years ago with no plan whatsoever. Right after that, my short-term lease on my apartment ended, which for me meant it was the perfect opportunity to store my things and travel the world. After a few months in Bali, Malaysia and Thailand (yes, the typical SEA backpacker trip) I went to Malaga, Spain, and started volunteering in a hostel. For me, this was an amazing couple of years where I learned a lot about myself but also other people and cultures. Even though I am back with the corporate life in my hometown Stockholm I will always love the hostel life, and I'm hoping this community with so many interesting and openminded people will give me some similar experiences :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Of course I'll teach you all the bad words in Swedish (there's really only one you need) and I would love to learn some words in other languages that are actually useful – somehow my Italian, Spanish-speaking, Canadian, Egyptian and Latvian friends only taught me the rude ones. Or maybe those are just the ones you do remember?
