About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Paint some walls

ABOUT ME

Swedish guy who moved up to the swedish mountains to catch some snow and stunning nature.
For the moment I am living and working at a skiresort in Sweden called Åre. Here I am working as a primary school teacher. I spend a lot of my spare time in the skiikng slopes during winter. Skiing is the best! During summer I stick to some alternatives like riding bike, hiking and beachvolley.

My longest trip so far is travelling with my sister, to Aussie and New Zeeland for some months. This was the first time I tried CS. We had a lot of fun, so now I try to travel somewhere every year!!

PHILOSOPHY

Spare time is better than money!
(teachers have a lot of spare time =)
