My stories
Built an igloo in Lapland at -38°
Was introduced to the Queen of England
Danced with tribes in Indonesia
Was part of a Guinness World Record in 2018
Once traveled 4 countries in less than 24 hours
Sung in the most famous Italian music festival and felt very embarrassed afterwards
Walked hand in hand with Marina Abramovic in London
Was very lucky to live to tell the tale after driving too close to a glacier
Delivered several lambs on an Icelandic farm
Led over 1000 teachers across Iceland and Finland to discover the best education systems in Europe
One day I decided to try out Contact Improvisation dancing and drastically step out of my comfort zone
Stayed silent for 10 full days in the Himalayas (and loved it)
Pioneered a week long series of events addressing the theme of sexuality and the taboos around it
Regularly write down my dreams and dwell in interpreting them
Fell flat on my face while diving off the top of a very high waterfall
Volunteered in a Buddhist monastery without knowing anything about meditation and ended up living there for months (I found out it was very useful!)
Attended an initiation ceremony lead by the Dalai Lama and decided then I was going to commit my life to helping people
