About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Meeting people, experience places and see things! One day I want to go to Africa to work for a non-profit organization. Something connected to electronics, but what?...

ABOUT ME
I guess I'm quite spontaneous, or maybe I just don't like to make plans for my future. If I want to do something I like to do it right away because otherwise I feel locked up. Who doesn't like to be free? I like challenging myself and doing things I don't think I can. Physical things and adrenaline makes me feel alive! But the perfect ending of a day is to cook a luxurious dinner on the gas stove in the middle of nowhere.

My favorite hobbies are all connected with water:
- freediving, I have attended the Aida 1* and Aida 2* courses so far. I want more! Really missing the freediving in Philippines though, Swedish waters are quite cold and murky.

- Also enjoys scuba diving. I have the Advanced open water certificate now. Always keen to be a Dive Master and work with it for a while, but that might not happen.

- Played canoe polo for a while in a Singaporean team, loved it! Perhaps the funniest sport I tried. Unfortunately there are no teams close to me in Sweden.

- Playing under water rugby. Super fun and adrenaline filled. Good way to practice for freediving too, always holding the breath under stressful situations!

PHILOSOPHY
A smile or a simple "hi" can change somebody's life for ever!

Music, Movies, and Books

Jules Verne's books are the best! I like the idea of reading but I never take time to do it... Now I'm into my second year reading "Life of Pi", it just starts to get interesting! Also trying to read a kids-book in german, Der Kleine Nick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking in the 50 degree C desert surrounded by nothing else than sand dunes was a pretty special feeling. Clubbing at the roof-top of Singapore's highest building during SG50 fireworks. Freediving with sea turtles in Indonesia. And off course extremesports and skydiving in New Zealand. Even though I've experienced many really cool things while traveling I still haven't found the life changing moment I'm looking for. That may be a good thing doing my will to travel even greater!
