About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy, laugh and try to see something beautiful everyday

ABOUT ME

I would say that I am pretty laidback and easygoing girl, get along with most people. I like to just hang out and take it easy but sometimes I can get a bit restless and I am really up to any new/fun adventures, sometimes I am a bit to impulsive I guess. I like movies, books and music. I am an evening/night person and love a good nap, but trying now to get a routine to get up in the morning. I have been traveling and moving around a lot before in my life but have now found my place here in Gothenburg and been working as a teacher.
I love a good laugh. But I also have a bit of a temper and love a good discussion. I can come off as a strong and independent young women but I am also pretty emotional softy and people I consedering to be my friends are very importent to me and of course my family which I am really close too.

PHILOSOPHY

Life, don´t be afraid, think less and smile more!

Fulfile your dreams

Be respectful and treat people with love and understanding.

Enjoy love. The greatest feeling on this earth.

Open your mind and try new things (especially the scary ones)
