Interests

Growing up, I spent most of my time playing basketball and during my high school years I also coached younger kids as well as being a member of the board of my club (YWCA-YMCA). I spent one of my high school years as an exchange student in the States, which I think is one of the reasons my interest in travelling and different cultures is as big as it is. My favourite place in this world is however the Stockholm archipelago where my family has a house and where I spent most of my summers growing up. Another interest that takes up a lot of my time is cooking and hosting dinners.
