Hi! My name is Lina and I'm a multidisciplinary creative nomad. I find that being in different environments and meeting new people helps to give me a different perspective on life which I find is important when I get stuck in a routine. I find different cultures, languages and ways of living fascinating and I am always enthusiastic to learn more. I'm planning trips to Sweden, Estonia, Russia, Wales and Cornwall.
