ABOUT ME
The big secret is that electricity isn't made up of electrons. Electrical current consists of thick white smoke flowing in the wires, and when something breaks it leaks.
When not destroying perfectly fine stuff at our school lab, I try to learn to be an engineer. Or was that the learning part? I'm doing fine so far, I believe.
For three years I have been a 450 km weekly commuter, between studies at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and work at VÃÆäxjÃÆö university in VÃÆäxjÃÆö. The stack of air and train tickets is huge, though they all share the same boring destinations. The distance is almost two times around the globe. That ain't much to many globe trotters, but I sure wish these kilometers were put down in another directionÃâââ¬Â¦
PHILOSOPHY
For some kind of fairness, peace and love in the world. Also, all kinds of my enjoyment and most of others'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My most amazing nature experience is probably sailing in the Stockholm archipelago. Also I often think about that time when we sat in a small cabin on an island, flashes striking so frequently we would have looked for a small army of paparazzis camping outside, if it weren't for us gazing in awe at a sky on fire.
