Overview
About Me
I'm a Swedish 22 year old with a great interest in geopolitics, languages/cultures and of course, travelling. In Stockholm, I'm studying Social Sciences, Crisis Management and Security Studies at Sweden's Defence University, while working as a conductor in Stockholm's public transport. Getting happily lost in foreign places is really what I love the most. I've had to privilege to travel quite a lot already, and hope to travel by myself to more exotic destinations in the near future
Interests
Politics is a big part of my life, I'm active in the Swedish Liberal Party and I've had the amazing opportunity of doing political work both at home and overseas. However, I'm still very open-minded and respectful of other people's opinions and values.
I like to photograph a lot, especially while travelling. I also love skiing (both Alpine and Nordic), biking, drinking plenty of coffee, hiking and enjoying architecture.

Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to music, I tend to find a couple of good songs and repeat them until it's unbearable to listen to them anymore. Some favourites include Saint Etienne, Pet Shop Boys, The XX, Onuka, Luna and London Grammar. Nordic acts are especially loved - Amason, Ásgeir, Susanne Sundfør, Lykke Li, Veronica Maggio and Robyn to name a few. Frankly, I'd like to read travel blogs and political articles rather than books, but sometimes when I'm not stressed out I find it extremely rewarding to relax with a nice novel on my balcony.

Teach, Learn, Share
Discussing cultures and the things that differs between our home countries... I love comparing languages so a crash course in Swedish is something you'll recieve whether you like it or not!
What I Can Share with Hosts
More than willing to assist with cleaning, cooking or other household work! During my travels, I'm both calm and organized. If you would like to, count me in on having conversations about basically anything, I tend to be both talkative and open about myself.
