Squeezing in the dishes, laundry and other stupid practicalities on my way to the airport. Lost more than 20 flights on that account.

The pathways of Marstand, Sweden.
​
What made you become the person you are
Combination of having to walk the long and curved road, coming from a small island in the outskirts of Denmark, and a big thirst for pushing myself into world and societies I never even knew existed (and probably withdrawing myself from—afterwards).
​
Something that you treasure
Indolence, salty liquorice, playing tennis + table tennis.
What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become
My perspective of adulthood was lots of kids, a big household, very serious—so I'd probably be disappointed ;-)
Your greatest fear
I hate things that move fast, jet skiing, roller coasters, frogs jumping and of course the near future of humankind.
