About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go yacht-sailing in the meditereanen

ABOUT ME

Travvelers who are comming to the cold north! Visit Gothenburg, and i will give you a good time and show you around town!

who am i then?

Well att first i can tell you that i have been onboard tall ships for some time, have travveled with the swedish ships Gunilla (with my school) and Lady Ellen (for work). These sailingtrips (a total of 16 months onboard) have been a big thing in the last 3 years.

besides sailing and travelling, music is one of my biggest interesst, try to play some guitar, but mostly its just comes to listening. I also watch quite a lot of movies (hehe who dont?), and i have a dream deep inside of making some own films...

I have threee younger sisters wich i love higher than enything else... family has always meant much to me.

My plan is to become a teacher in history and geography. Studying right now in Gothenburg. I also work part-time in different swimming schools.

I like beer, not that lemonade-taste-likes-water blond ones, nope, i like the real good old ales... to bad tough that sweden is not much of a beer-country, cheers to all you fortunate Checks, Blegians and English!

PHILOSOPHY

I belive in the lusts of the body and the uncurebale loneliness of the soul.
