About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I think that I shouldn't really be allowed to do exciting things as I'm already too excited in general for my own good. I'm a very keen person, very open-minded and committed. I'm always looking for adventues and trying new things when an opportunity comes along!

I'm from the lovely Sweden but I've been living in Nottingham, UK, mostly these last few years. At the moment I don't really live anywhere, but I'm traveling and studying life and I'm enjoying it quite a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

The greatest richness in the human life is contentment. If someone told you that you would die tomorrow I think it's important to be able to think that 'hey, I had a good go'.

Films and books: Sci-fi. Always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I made a ginger-bread windmill...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can solve a rubrik's cube in under a minute (or can I?), I'm a ridiculously good knitter, an excellent cook and I know most things about music, music history, music theory and composition.
I'd love to improve my languages, if anyone would like to help me with my german, french or norwegian I'd be delighted!
