ABOUT ME

I'm a third culture kid growing roots into Nordic soil, infatuated with the written word and life stories. I study English philology and social policy. I drink too much coffee and always roots for open-heartedness and curiosity. I like road trips, roommates, lunch breaks and tending to my little home garden.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is so much out there!
When it comes to movies I often watch them to relax, so I have to admit that I enjoy light, fun movies with no deep message. Some movies that have had a deep impact on me though are Les Miserables, The Kite Runner, Moonrise Kingdom,
I don't know what I would do without music, it's amazing, the universal power that music has to touch our hearts. My all time favourites are Mumford&Sons, Bon Iver, Regina Spektor, Lisa Hannigan and Beirut. But right now I'm going through a strange electro and dance phase..
I love reading, in a cafe or in my backyard...I enjoy a lot of different kinds of books, but my favourites are biographies, stories from other cultures...anything to do with the Middle East.
