One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting a pack of wolves. Tame yes, but spending an hour with them was an amazing experience.

Being in Ireland and coming face to face with a very rare type of red deer one morning out hiking, who stood completely motionless in the middle of the road before disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Meeting holocaust survivors in my work and hear their stories was beyond terrifying but also a humbling experience.

Working as a news reporter at one Sweden’s biggest media and doing a feature about the refugees in one camp in Italy.
