Spring 2017: studying in Gothenburg!

Twentyone year old, from a small village on the countryside of Sweden.
Curious and interested in too many things to describe.
A friend said that I behave like an alien, constantly discovering new things on planet earth, getting amazed and barely holding it together. That is a fair description. I really like eating and I really like hanging out with warm people.

This year me and my friend left Sweden to look for adventures in other parts of the world than our own. We started in Eastern Europe, hitchhiked our way down to Greece, spent a month in Istanbul eating Baclava and dancing. Travelled further to the biggest love of our lives - Nepal, where we spent six weeks hanging with amazing people, trekking in the Himalayas and eating spicy food. After a couple of backpacking months in Southeastern Asia, we headed for Tokyo and fell in love with Japan. Now we are going by train through Russia, experiencing this huge, honest and interesting country.

In Sweden I worked at a kindergarden and in schools, I really appreciate working with and for children. They are the coolest.

Some of the things that I love; red things, mountains, dancing, Astrid Lindgren, mango, Broad City, parks, burgers, books, the spring, the sea.
