I decided to leave my life in my hometown Gothenburg.

I left the apartment and quit the studies.

My heart was longing for something else.

Nature and silence.

I moved to this place,

Grundtjärn, a little village with 10 inhabitants in the north of Sweden.

A village where I have my roots since 12 generations back.

I had no plan, no money and no job.

But I had a dream.
16
I wanted to find a way to make a living so
17
that I could stay at this beautiful place that felt like home in my heart.
18
The first years in Grundtjärn was very challenging.
19
Long cold winters, a constant worry about money,
20
and an old house where it was a full-time job just to keep warm.
21
A time when my limits were constantly tested.
22
But during this time, I found my passion in life.
23
I started with photography and filming and writing.
24
And I started a little blog so I could share moments of my new life

and express my love for nature in photos and words.

And I also bought a dog,

Nanok, that became my best friend ever.

I spend my days doing photography,
36
filming, creating music, painting, writing,

And through all my social media channels,
39
I reach over a million people every week.
40
I lived together with Johan,
41
my soon-to-be husband, and recently he started working full-time as a silversmith in our own jewelry brand.
42
And I still have my fellow friend Nanook,
43
and two cats, and a cow whose name is Stjärna,

which means star in Swedish.
45
And still, my wish is to give something beautiful to this world,

something that breaks through our barriers and reaches the soul.

I have
53
learned so much during these years.

ourselves, that sets the limits of what is possible and not.

59
Cause sometimes, that can be the best thing you will ever do.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
