About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In november 2010 my year round adventure starts. Hope to meet many inspiring people, see beautiful places, have once in a lifetime experiences and so on!

ABOUT ME

I'm a down to earth girl, curious for new adventures! I like a good conversation, but never mind a good party either! I travel because I want to explore the world, there's so much to see. Meeting new people and other cultures gives my life more meaning and puts things in a different perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are so many: sleeping in the jungle in Malaysia surrounded by the sounds of the jungle and knowing that there´s a tiger around.

Living in Finland in winter time and going to Sauna and after that rolling in the ice cold snow

Going to the island Taquile in Peru on my own and having the island to myself (and the locals of course) after all the tourboats left. No electricity and no cars and just a beautiful sky full of stars.
