CURRENT MISSION

Study so that I can save the world when I grow up!

ABOUT ME

I'm Magnus Franzén, I'm Swedish, born and raised in Stockholm. I study international relations at Stockholm University. I have lived a few years in South America: Chile and Brazil. But now it's all about finishing my studies. I do hope to work in Latin America one day.
I like to read, write and paint. For more social activities I love to dance (samba, salsa, hiphop, you name it), I also like just hanging out and have a beer. When I meet my friends political conversations are common. To not get too fat I try to play basketball as often as I can.
