CURRENT MISSION

Winter wanderlust! Want to feel free and go on little adventures before my cafe opens again (Easter through fall = all work, no play).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling through Barranca del Cobre in Mexico. Becoming a mother. Meeting my husband. (I know it's cheezy, but it's the truth.) Night time swimming in Flaten. All the trusting, fine, interesting people I have met in my life and still meet. The overwhelmingly amazing, rare sense of flow when personalities, politics, creativity and work come together and becomes a community force to count on.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a couple of semi-funny Swedish jokes + how to make cinnamon rolls. I'd like to learn how to play the accordion, and different kinds of construction work (building roofs and floors etc).
