What are your plans for this summer?
"I don’t have any trips or anything special planned right now, but I’m hoping the summer will bring plenty of fun and spontaneous experiences.”
Do you have a favourite spot in Jönköping or the surrounding area?
"I don’t have a specific favorite spot, but I really enjoy being in downtown Jönköping. It’s just the right size, has a great atmosphere, and there’s always something to discover. I appreciate allt the water around, and I love taking walks along Munksjön or Hamnkanalen when I have time."
What’s your best summer tip?
"After a long winter and spring, whether you’re studying or working, it’s important to give yourself time to relax. So take it easy and make the most of the summer. Spend time with friends and family, get outdoors as much as you can, enjoy good food and drinks and do the things you don’t usually have time for during the rest of the year."
