Hi there!

I’m a book-loving, music-obsessed, museum-wandering, feminist nerd from Sweden who believes in fika at least once every day!

I live in the very south of Sweden with my daughter who is 8 years old. She loves outer space (especially Neptune), Gudetama and funny cats. We live in a small coastal town that's alive and filled with people in the summer and quiet and sleepy in the winter.

I’m curious, chatty, and always open to discovering new ideas, cultures, and sounds. I would love to exchange thoughtful letters, quirky playlists, or poetry.

I realized that opening the mail box is something boring and mundane. I wished for small sparks of joy in life and that's how I found Swap Bot!

I’ve played the violin, sings in a choir and play a lot of board games.

I pretty much always have music on: in my headphones, on the kitchen radio, or blasting from the living room speaker. My taste is all over the place (in the best way). Current favorites include: Kite, The Kinks, Amanda Bergman, David Ritschard, bob hund, Kate Bush, Talking Heads, alt-J, John Cale, Sarah Klang, Billie the Vision & the Dancers... and probably five or ten more I’ve forgotten.

Music is and has always been a big part of my life!

I'm terrible at keeping up with new TV series. I usually just end up rewatching my old favorites. It's like having a bunch of weird, familiar friends chatting in the background while I do other things. The shows I've watched the most (and probably could quote in my sleep) are: The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Jeeves & Wooster, Pushing Daisies and The League of Gentlemen.

I'm more than glad to receive new tips on what to watch. Last time a saw a new TV-series I watched Severance and LOVED IT!

I'm not very good at drawing. At all. I always envy the amazing talent I see here and other parts of the internet. But I do like to do collage, fanzines and write. My favorite crafts all involve paper, scissors and a lot of glue. I keep a junk journal, which is a medium I was absolutely thrilled to discover.
