My mother, she is full of good energy and always supporting.

​

Salty liquorice/postponing.

I'd like to trek: Chile, the Alps and New Zealand. And visiting some shipyards on the Falklands...

 

Your best decision

Having my kid

​

Your worst decision

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

​

Your favorite street and why

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.
