About Me

This year I quit my teaching job, sold our apartment in Sweden and booked a one way flight to Japan. So far this year we have been to Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia, Malta, Denmark, Great Britain, Poland, and now New Zealand. I'm 30 years and I am excited for all the new adventures this year will bring.
