About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun

ABOUT ME

Hi!

If friends would describe me, they would probably say that I am a social, friendly and fun person to hang out with. I live on a wooden boat in Stockholm and love to take friends over and have barbeque on deck in the summertime. In the wintertime it can get pretty cold though, that's when I try to go and travel.

I am really in to rockabilly music and the 50's culture and I am trying to pretend that I am a good vintage/antique shopper, even though I am not very good at it.

In Sweden I work with television production, as a location manager, coordinating the whole set. I usually do some journalistic work when I am out traveling as well, for either magazines or radio. A while ago I reported from a turban tying competition in Rajasthan, India, for Swedish public radio. Right now I am producing a musical together with a friend. We wrote the manuscript on Cuba and it will eventually be played in a Swedish medieval ruin. It's a comedy.

I have been a lot to the United States to travel, in total approximately nine months. Last fall I lived in Austin, TX for a couple of months studying photography at University of Texas. My next trip will go east to Russia, Mongolia, China and Japan.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to think of your life as a movie. You always like a good movie, and if your life is like a good movie, then it is probably good!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the movies of Quentin Tarantino and Woody Allen a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember when I got my driver's license and went and bought a Cadillac DeVille '68, that was an amazing feeling to turn around the keys for the first time and drive away. Freedom!

The Redneck Mardi Gras in Texas and Angola Prison Rodeo in Louisiana was amazing things to see as well.
