About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cooking new recipies and learning French!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Stockholm for 35 years ago and has lived there ever since except for small stops on the way! So for the moment Stockholm is my platform, this is where I work and live in general.

I grew up with my parents and two younger brothers in a suburb to Stockholm called Hässelby.

I´m working at the moment, as an engineer at the truck company Scania in the development department for engines. Before that I studied to a bachelor at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Although I like my job I will study furthermore, so at the moment I think a lot about what I want to study.

PHILOSOPHY

Always ask yourself about the thing you are doing every moment if this is truly what you want to do
