About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Former mission: to find a place to live, to travel from, to return to. Now I'm home.

ABOUT ME

A very serious and happy person. Full of lust for life! I like to DO things, open to interesting ideas of all kind!

I'm a vegan who disagrees with the economic world order that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Justice, ecology, feminism, power, animal rights are issues I could discuss, but I might prefer to talk about: film, literature, design, food, art, bikes and beautiful plans for the future!

Like to go biking, to play with things and to experience whatever that is good for me and the world.

But I don't like to just hang around doing nothing. I enjoy a good talk, but not hours of small-talking.

PHILOSOPHY

to become as much me as possible
by helping others to become as much them as possible

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

is definitely when new life starts to breathe here on earth...

I remember well how my grandfather's dog, a beautiful greyish bitch, delivered. And the newborns first struggling moments of life. And I have a daughter that is my everything. I can't think about her birth without tears.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help out if someone has problems with the tiny little swedish language. Talking about swedish literature is also something I enjoy.

I might be able to help people that are interested in scandinavian design from the golden years (1930-70).

I also know a little about animal rights, veganism, activism etc.

Feel free to ask.
