Music, Movies, and Books

Some nice movies which I've just recently seen: Laurence Anyways, Äta Sova Dö, The King's Speech, documentary of Olof Palme.
I've been lately listening to Amanda Jenssen, Bon Iver (my everlasting favourite), Lana Del Rey, Average White Band, Rumer, Kings of Convenience... I like mourning indiepop as my boyfriend puts it...

There are plenty of good books I adore! At the moment I am reading a book about utopias and economy and the book "The Spirit Level" by Richard G. Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, and a book about unequal health and also "Män som hatar kvinnor" by Stieg Larsson. I always read a bunch of books at the same time haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think it was quite amazing to move abroad and meet all the wonderful people from all over the world, learning languages and social sciences and travelling around. As I was 18 I spent a summer in Germany which was also "super cool" and adventurous that time.
