I have been doing bunch of random and different things to be honest. I kind of grew up all over since my dad was always travelling but from high school all the way to my first Masters I was in the Netherlands. I worked at a NGO there for a while after graduation but then the company sent me to Burkina Faso which was an amazing experience and I think from then on I just went crazy and wanted to travel all the time. So I did a lil hospitality degree in Thailand and worked there in a magazine and also a hotel. I lived in Cuba for a while to learn Spanish but I really want to travel to south America soon and refresh my Spanish and also work in conservation there which is one of my passions, conserving animals and nature, really want to get my diving certificate and be involved in marine conservation at some point. In between all this I travelled a lot throughout southeast Asia, love love Indonesia and also Sri Lanka where I got my yoga certificate. Somehow, I ended up I Sweden to get another Master in Sustainable Tourism. I worked at some eco lodges in Swedish Lapland and also Lofoten which was amazing. I really want to travel in a mindful way especially after educating myself more about the tourism field. I have this idea of a trip which has more to do with observing and living like the local in that location. This is maybe why I got into all these food tourism and conservation because I see what an impact small decision can make when you are on the road. In anyways I came here now to see if I can find some like minded people, pack a bag and go see what its all about out there in the world with a more observant and open head.

I live in a very tiny village or island lets say south of Sweden, I mean I come and go winter I do something summer I come its all very wobbly really. Right now I am trying to save up and get my self to South America and also Philippines and Madagascar or maybe Tanzania who knows really. I ran a small yoga studio for a while, then I worked for some restaurants but I had a hard time entering my field so I want to try find something which I love doing maybe in another corner.

Of countries I really want to explore South America now Chile, Peru, oo Patagonia, Bolivia ojojojo, so fascinating to me, but I don't really have a favourite because every corner has its own awesomeness, memories and experiences so really I have no idea,. But for sure in some places, I just had more fun per say I guess. If favourite is like an activity or food, I love wine and all vegetables plus doing yoga or any workouts, hiking and sometimes going locopoco crazy.

See what people eat, the spices, the landscape has so much to offer, the way people cook and go on about lives, the toughness of communities in certain parts of the world, the traditions and customs, the nature, the mindsets, just a normal commute to work is interesting to observe. I want to see why some places are being run down by tourism, want to see if I can help or get involved somehow. I want to bike, walk, sit in random places, and end up with a big group around my table. I want to maybe find a corner where I build my tree house bamboo yoga corner eventually with a little garden. Nothing makes me happier than when I am wobbling around.
