Country: Sweden
Profession: Teacher and writer
Languages: Fluent in Swedish and English. Can have a functional conversation going in French, Italian and Spanish. Can understand Norwegian (duh), Danish, German, some Dutch and some Romanian.

Three fears: Insects, spiders and whales. Their sheer size is giving me the creeps. Would much rather swim next to a shark than, let's say, a blue whale.
Three things you dislike: False people (includes liars), sleepless nights (way too common), being told what I can or can't do.
Three things you like: People who speak their mind (especially those who share their love with no particular motive behind it), learning new things, exploring the world

Eurovisions visited: I'm embarrased to say it, but... None. My boyfriend promised (!) me to come with me to ESC 2013 if Loreen would win in 2012. He didn't keep his word (ESC is a total yawn for him), and I didn't want to go alone... So, once again, he promised (!) to come with me to ESC 2016 if Måns would win this year, which is basically the main reason I want Måns to win. I'm going to make sure he keeps his promise this time.
Eurovision 2015 expectations: I expect an evening filled with love, joy and fun along with my best friends, and an extraordinary show on the telly for us to watch, comment, rate and laugh at.
Eurovision 2015 favourite entry:

Other you would like to say: I'm happy I found my way here since no-one I know IRL shares my passion. One of my best friends is a worse Melodifestivalen geek than I am, but unfortunately she doesn't care about ESC the same way. But now I've got you guys!
