About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work less, travel more!

ABOUT ME

I just love to travel! I've started travelling 2007 and been around frequently every year, been backpacking mostly Asia! I travel alone for the most times when my friends are busy with other stuff.

I have previously worked as a truck driver in Sweden for about 2 years in total and been in a office for a year. Joined the military and stayed there for about 2,5 year in total.
Spring 2009 I moved to China studying Chinese language in Kunming.

After coming back to Sweden in 2009 I moved to Norway started my college studies taking a Bachelor degree in Fire Safety Engineering. Afterwards I felt it was my duty to save lifes (could've also been the salary) so I started working in a local fire station in Hamar/Norway for 6 month. Then I got even more greedy and started working offshore on oil rigs in the north sea. But as they say all good things don't last. Now I'm in Stockholm and working as a fire engineer again.

I am always down for a beer or coffee at anytime.
