8. Apart from blogging how do you spend your free time?
What free time??? Lol! Fortunately, I own a dog, so we do take lots of beautiful walks in the Swedish forest.
9. What is your favorite memory?
Umm, that's a tough one, there are so many. But I have this very warm and loving memory, when I picked up a little puppy from the street and held him in my arms for the very first time. Who knew he would become my very best friend, and is still my everyday companion after 12 years.
10. If you could do any job in the world, what would it be? (Except for being a mom or dad!)
I’d want to be a Nature photographer. Travel the world, visiting many different, inspiring locations.
11. If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money, and why?
I live a very simple life, always had. I have never been a materialistic person. I figure, whatever I need here in life, will fit into a suitcase. So I would not spend my money on any stuff. As long as I have my laptop, toothbrush, my camera and pencils for drawing, I'm all set.
However, I would buy myself a small house - a very small house, knowing I will have something of my own to come home to. That would feel really nice! Then I put some money away for my future. I would also like to treat my good friends and family, who has always been there for me with trips and visits to the Spa and lovely dinners.
The rest of the money, I would give away to animal shelters around the world. Helping out with food, medicine and education to children in poor countries. Helping out in any way I can to make sure less fortunate will have a decent, cooked meal a day.
I will also support the research of fibromyalgia, ALS, often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease ( my mum passed away from this disease) and cancer research.
