CURRENT MISSION

Japan

ABOUT ME

I currently live and study in Göteborg, Sweden. I love to travel but I'm also a close to home kind of person, I like to have my family nearby. Although I live in my own apartment it's only 20 minutes by train/tram to the rest of my family:) I study architecture at Chalmers university and work part-time at a bank and as a helpteacher. I love my work, It feels fun and meaningful to be able to help children/teenagers with their schoolwork. I hope to become an architect some day and travel the world in my work.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dream as if you´ll live forever, live as if you´ll die tomorrow" James Dean once said. Though it´s pretty good advice I would be terrified and curled up in bed if I thought I would die tomorrow, but I like the "Dream as if you´ll live forever"-part. I´m such a hopeless dreamer and I never want to stop dreaming:)
