About Me

CURRENT MISSION

embracing the darkness of swedish winter

ABOUT ME

I've been living in Sweden for the past five years and have just started a PhD in linguistics at Lund University. I'm addicted to this place! I'm pretty calm and easy-going, I live for magic little adventures and real conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you think that happiness means total peace, you will never be happy. Peace comes from the acceptance of the part of you that can never be at peace. It will always be in conflict. If you accept that, everything gets a lot better." Joss Whedon
