About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Plan, save money and dream on...

ABOUT ME

I love cinemas, particular old cinemas with a lot of history. I also like to visit the local cinema in every new town or place I am visiting. Through the years I have visited over 90 cinema theaters, in 6 countries, on 3 continents where I have seen over 600 movies.

But I also like to hike, which is a new born interest that has been dormant for the past 20 odd years.

I love to hike in the forest, not so much in the high mountains, even though climbing a mountain top can be fulfilling when you see the view up there, it is the forest trails I am looking for. So I try to combine the hiking with my cinema interest. Go somewhere new and exciting, first visit the local cinema (in the closest nearby town there is) and then head out in
to the wild for a new adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't just watch a movie - Experience it!

Take the day as it comes and be happy!

If I have learned something new during the day I consider that day not a total waste of time! It is fun experience new things in life...

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite movie is Star Wars (Episode 4 - A New Hope), which I have seen over a hundred times!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have done in life has to be when I was working a couple of summers with a carnival company, traveling around in Sweden, learning and experience so much fun stuff!

I have seen Mount St. Helens from the air, just a couple of years after the volcano erupted/exploded - it would be really great to see it again - this time from the ground!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always look out for new skills and new knowledge!

Here are a few of all the different skills and professions I have tried through out the years:

assistant manager in a grocery store!
helpdesk assistant!
construction worker!
transport manager for a carnival company!
extra hand on a farm during the harvest!
youth leader at a youth center!
network technician for a computer company!

And I am currently working as a janitor at a small office in my hometown of Jönköping,
