Hello, my name is Måns. I'm 20 years old and I'm one of the Swedish participants in Learning School this year. Above you can see some short facts about me.

 I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere with 3 km (about 2 miles) to the closest neighbour. It was a very good place to grow up at because you had a lot of freedom and you could be outside and do things you can't do in a city. However now I'm bored of it and ready to see the world a bit more.

 I graduated the Technology Programme at Bobergsgymnasiet, Ånge in June 2011. I knew I wanted to do Learning School about 6 months before I graduated, so I planned it all way ahead. At the end of the last school year, my town were also hosts of the Global Classroom Conference and I had a big part in the organizing of the conference, both before and during it.  In 2010 I went to my first Global Classroom Conference in Ridgewood, USA. It was a great experience and after that I was sold on the idea of Global Classroom and Learning School. After that conference I've been working really hard to make this possible. I'm happy that I made it.

 I could say a lot of things about myself, but in general I think it's better if others get the chance to get a fresh and clean opinion of me without any labels or prejudices. However I can tell you that I'm quite interested in sports, I absolutely love Arsenal Football Club and I try to watch every game I can.  I'm also quite into winter sports. Every winter me and my family go skiing/snowboarding (I can do both) in the mountains, I really enjoy it. I used to play ice-hockey as well, so I'm quite okay on the skates and if there is ever an opportunity to ice-skate when we are away on our trip I'd love to do it.  Except from sports, I'm quite into technology things like computers, phones, networks and such. I have made quite a lot of websites and I work in photoshop sometimes. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I'm active and I like to socialize and meet new people and I get easily bored if I don't. I'm sure Learning School will be great for this, since you have to interact with new people the whole time.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I'm sure that this trip around the world will change my life forever. I'm happy about that.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I'll see you in your home country.
