CURRENT MISSION

Do new things every day

ABOUT ME

Hi!

I'm Simon and I am 23 years old. I currently live in Stockholm where I'm doing a marketing internship. I am also currently studying industrial engineering and management.
As a person, I try to be as easy going as possible. When I'm not working, I either play music, listen to music or thinking about playing or listening to music. I hang out with friends as well as strangers as often as possible, trying to collect stories: both creating new ones and gathering other peoples'.

I like to be spontaneous and adventurous but I also like to chill and not do anything in particular!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chilling on the country side by a rice field in Cambodia in sunset. Might sound cheesy but it was the best moment this far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked as a tennis trainer and a music teacher, so I could teach both tennis and guitar.

Of course I could teach swedish as well!
