About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Have a good time. All the time.

ABOUT ME
I'm 28 years old, and I come from Sweden, but I lived in exile from the motherland for about five years, between the summer of 2010 and the summer of 2015 - two of those years I spent in Norway, three I spent bumming around in the rest of the world. Since 2015 I study in Malmö, but I've also studied a semester in Macau.

I don't live my life after a Lonely Planet - I do some occasional sight-seeing, but what I'm really interested in is normal everyday life of people in different places worldwide.

If you want to check out my facebook, just search for "Marty Naan-Dijon" (another spelling of my oh so common name) and there I am.

And if you furthermore want to have a monochrome peak at my life the last couple of years, I've uploaded a little selection of pics here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've crossed the Eurasian continent with the transsiberian railway, I've gone coast to coast over land in North America and I've hitch-hiked North to South in New Zealand. I've been to some of the worlds biggest cities and at other times I've been days from nearest road. I've trekked to Mount Everest Base camp and I rode a horse through the Ecuadorian Andes. I've been in the beautiful nothingness of Mongolia and I've walked through the swamplands and rivers of South Africa. I've swum in the holy river Ganges and I've been night diving surrounded by bright bioluminescence in the Carribean Sea. I've seen The Great Wall of China, Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu. I've been working as an extra in Bollywood and I've been to a screening of "The Room", attended by Greg Sestero in person. I've also done my fair share of bungee jumping, river rafting, zip-lining, paragliding and zorbing. And once I rode a yak.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to throw a wobbly frisbee, how to make a decent loaf of sourdough bread, or how to upcycle trash into furniture.

I would like to learn everything. Please, lay your wisdom upon me.
