Overview
About Me
I'm currently living my life in a campervan with my partner, and i would love to see the whole world and gather as much experiences as possible, currently i'm travelling in southern Europe. I left Sweden in February 2017 and have no plans to go back to Sweden in the near future. I lived my whole life in my small hometown and now i'm ready to discover new people and places.
Back home in Sweden i was working as a HR manager for over 40 people and i also did robot programming. I did that for 4 years and one day in January 2017 i decided to change my lifestyle. I quit my job, sold my stuff, my car, bought one way ticket to Bangkok and said good bye to my friends and left one month later.
My passion is travelling(ofcourse) and cooking food, i really love it!! My specialty is burgers in all kind of varieties (please let me know if you know any place looking for a burger master), and i would say i'm on a professional level when it comes to burgers. I also had a part time job as a burger chef in a smaller restaurant.
When i'm travelling i do vlogging, like a video diary and filming everything i do. After that I upload it to my Youtube channel. I have many people that likes to follow my adventure. My Youtube channel is www.youtube.com/JimOnFoot
Some other things that i also like very much is entrepreneurship, technology and engines like motorbike or cars. In the future i'm going to start a restaurant. Im really good with computers and network.
I'm always looking for a work, wherever i go in the world i'm going to be interested and i can work both long and short term. I would like to work in a restaurant or a english teacher.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Scubadiving in Thailand, Koh Tao. I was diving with a big whale shark and it was a incredible experience.
Before i left Sweden i set up a event, a burger night. Rented a restaurant, planned the evening and invited friends and family. What i did not expect was that i got this restaurant full for the first time, over 80 people showed up and i even had to say no to a lot of people. Everyone loved my burgers that i served and the night was a big success.
When i was 18 i pitched a business idea in front of an audience and jury, and i came 2nd place with my idea. It was a nightmare to talk in front of people but i did it anyways to grow and get more experience. My idea was to teach all the students how to become a grown up, like how to save money (economics), clean cloths, buy condo or rent an apartment, take a loan from a bank, apply for a job. I was pretty sure i was going to win, since my idea was genius.
