Born in Sweden but came to Niger in 1986. Live my life half a year in Sweden and half a year in Niger. Best thing I know? Some sunshine and a blue, blue sky! Which means that when summer is over in Sweden and winter arrives, it's time for me to move south... Here's my journey!

Oh, goodness, I fkranly never thought about it (which is probably why I'll never have a million euros).. I know I wouldn't stash it away, but use it to fulfill my dreams (as soon as I figure out what they are!). Still, till then, I guess I'll need to put it somewhere, and I'm not sure how much I trust (or like) traditional banks/investment companies these days.. (Would I give my money to the devil if it promised me a good return? Perhaps. But can I trust the devil to keep its promise? And would I have anyone but myself to blame if it doesn't?)
