About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and improve the world in all possible ways

ABOUT ME

What can I tell about me... Well the last couple of years I've finished high school, then worked some in my hometown, after that decided to go to Mexico and work as an au pair. I had previously been to Mexico when I and a friend did some voluntairy work at a handicap center, as part of a school project and fell in love with the country. To go there again was one of the best decisions I, until today, ever made not so much because of the "facsinating" job but beacause of everything I learned during my time abroad about the country, people and myself.

After that I studied arabic and japanese through the university, which was a lot of fun since a love language and always seek to learn as much/many languages as I can! If I could I would spend my life travelling and learning new languages for a great period of time :)

I later on moved to Gothenburg where I started my studies in International Relations. After doing that for one semester I switched to International Business from which I graduated from spring '13.

During 2012 I've been on 2 study abroad semesters at Texas A&M in Texas, US and Shanghai Jiao Tong university. I've loved my stay at both places and truly had an amazing time!

After finishing my bachelor degree I moved back to Shanghai in order to do an internship for a Chinese company and ended up staying there for 4 years!

Back in Sweden since 2017 and currently living in Stockholm 🇸🇪

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm.. This is a tricky one. Although, the feeling of finfing myself being at a place that i've heard about, read about,and dreamt about since I was a child was pretty breathtaking. That's what happened to me last year in New York. I truly love that place.

Also, the kindness of stangers is something that never seize to suprise me. It's incredible how some people do so much for people they know so little. That shows great kindness in the world. And is one of the reasons Couch Surfing is so amazing
