Hej hej😄 
 I am Amber. I came from China and am currently studying at Uppsala University Sustainable  Destination Development Master&#8217;s Program. I am curious and like to explore myself and the  world. I have many interests and hobbies. The process of going to work and dorm in several  countries in Southeast Asia during my sophomore year gave me inspiration, about life, about travel, about sustainability, about the power of youth💪    I decided to come to Sweden, not only because of the master program I like, but also the   natural environment and social atmosphere here, especially the concept of sustainability and gender, which I want to experience. Coupled with taking classes at Gotland, it was hard for  me to say no to the sea. I wonder how many possibilities or manifestations the frequently mentioned &#8220;sustainable&#8221; really has, and I think Sweden is a great destination to explore. 💪    Being a student ambassador has given me a good opportunity to share with more people the events or lifestyles that I am curious and willing to participate in. In the next year I will be  creating content for the Chinese social media team. I hope that I can share more with you  from the perspective of sustainability and tourism-related majors. Also, real and fresh Swedish study life! 💪 (If you meet us for the first time, please continue to pay attention, you will get more surprises here!)

Heyy!
My name is Annamaria, you can call me Anna 😉 and I am one of the digital ambassadors for Study in Sweden. I am so excited to share with you what studying in Sweden is like, my tips and tricks on how to choose the best location and programme to study, how to manage your time as a student, or how to make the most out of your university experience.
I am currently a student at the University of Skövde pursuing a Bachelor&#8217;s in Biomedical Sciences. Don&#8217;t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my university experience or where and why you should study in Sweden. Based on what Sweden has to offer, it is in my opinion, the best choice to start your university student&#8217;s life in. Hopefully, I will be able to share with you my experience of studying and living in Sweden through the blog, so you can decide whether it would be the right path for you as well.
Outside of university, I truly love to write, read, (watch Netflix) and hang out with friends.
And that&#8217;s all about me. Now let&#8217;s read some blogs and learn more about Sweden, shall we?

My name is Annamaria and I'm from Slovakia 🇸🇰. I'm a student at University of Skövde, where I study a Bachelor's in Biomedical sciences.

Hej hej! 
 
I am Ceci, the new digital ambassador of Study in Sweden, and I am currently studying in the Master&#8217;s programme of Gendering Practices at  University of Gothenburg, Sweden. 
I’m from China and I work with CN team now.I’ve always been interested in the social sciences, especially the topics of minority groups and equality. Basically, I chose to study in Sweden because gender studies is an independent and degree-earning discipline in the Swedish discipline system. In addition, the social and cultural atmosphere of equality and inclusiveness in Sweden has aroused my curiosity and longing. I hope to explore the diversity of life and the possibility of equal and inclusive social practice through my own experience. 
For a long time I was used to being sucked into a tight urban life or staying at home with a book, but coming to Sweden made me fall in love with nature. As a student ambassador, I hope that in the coming year I can show the Swedish Way of studying abroad by sharing my life and study with curiosity and courage .Whether you&#8217;re already studying in Sweden or still undecided, I believe we can all find our paths.

My name is Claire, I enjoy photography, travel and urban dancing. Yeah! I am looking forward to kicking off the journey of STUDYING in SWEDEN with you =) I will mainly share content with you on WeChat, Weibo, Bilibili, and occasionally on Instagram! 
Here is not only the Nobel Prize but also the Swedish people’s reverence for nature and the unique aesthetic style of people. From IKEA to ACNE, from Hasselblad, Ericsson to Volvo&#8230; Behind these Swedish brands, the “philosophy of life” of Swedish people is truly felt. For a brand marketing person, I can hardly not be attracted. 
“Delicate and soft” is probably how Sweden has always felt to me. She fits all my romantic imagination of Sweden, and I can’t wait to share with ya guys the details of the future collision with Sweden. 
 “Is Nordic really more alienating?” “Fines for working late?” “The pressure of schoolwork?” “Sunrise at 3am?” “Students are encouraged to study, so the library bathrooms offer showers?” &#8230;  Wait for me, answer them all on camera!BTW!! Feel free to reach out and ask any questions!

Hej y’all!
My name is Jartu and I’m so excited to be part of the digital ambassador team for this year! I am 24 years old and I’m from Atlanta Georgia. I have my undergraduate in Philosophy and am currently pursuing my masters in International Development and Management (LUMID) here at Lund University. 
I love traveling and learning about different languages and cultures! I am something of a professional expat and I’m thrilled that Sweden is the next stop on my world tour! The decision to move here for my studies was really an easy one. Sweden’s stance concerning areas such as gender equality, diversity, inclusion, sustainability (just to name a few) align well with my own ideals!
My hope is that through my bubbly personality, I will be able to share some inspiring stories with the followers of the study in Sweden page!  
In my free time I enjoy reading, exploring new sites, and getting lost In the wormhole that is TikTok cat videos! I’m really grateful to be given the opportunity to share my experiences on this platform! I hope you enjoy following my journey on insta!See y’all around!

Hola! Hej! Hello!
My name is Maria, I am 23 years old, and I am a new Digital Ambassador for the Instagram team of Study in Sweden! I am so excited about starting this new adventure and getting to share it with you all! 
I am from Barcelona, where I got my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and I am currently settled in Stockholm, to pursue a master’s degree in Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology at Stockholm University (SU). 
I came to Sweden for the first time for an Erasmus in Umeå, the first semester of 2022, and I fell in love with the country immediately. I was so grateful that I applied for the master&#8217;s degree then and I am even more grateful now that I am back here. Sweden aligns with all my personal values; I could not be anywhere else where I felt more understood and visible than here. 
A little about me, besides being a bit of a scientific nerd, I love to watch TV shows (do not hesitate to share any recommendations with me!), I truly enjoy discovering new fika spots, catching sunset in every possible viewpoint. Last but not least, I can never say no to a boardgames night and having a nice dinner after.I hope you are thrilled to join me in discovering the Swedish way and make winter feel warmer! Let’s go!

Hej, It’s great to meet you! 
  My name is Marie, I am a 20 year old french student and I come from a little town in southern France. I just moved to Sweden to pursue a bachelor’s degree in international relations at the University of Gothenburg and am very grateful to be calling this beautify city home for the next three years.     I had always wanted of studying at a university in a different European country, following the Study In Sweden blog and instagram led me to discover its diversity and approach towards issues like individual freedoms, equality of gender, sexual orientation and racism. And that’s how I decided to take the final step.    I enjoy getting lost with my film camera, sharing ideas and changing the world over a hot cup of coffee.    I am very exited to be sharing this new adventure with you and hope that you will find something for you here whether you are thinking about coming to or already living here.Get ready for adventures and feel free to ask, if you have any questions! //Marie

My name is Nozinhle. Feel free to take a moment to try and pronounce that again..and again..and..again. LOL. You can call me Nozie.
I&#8217;m from the beautiful City of Kings (Bulawayo) in Zimbabwe and I am a Swedish Institute Scholarship holder currently pursuing an MSc in Robotics and Automation at the University West in Trollhättan. For me, Sweden was an obvious study choice. Besides the fact that it is well known for being a great study destination for international students, Sweden has the perfect combination of the three things that matter the most to me as a female engineering professional: innovation, sustainability, and gender equality. I thus look forward to experiencing the &#8220;Swedish Way of Life.&#8221;
When I&#8217;m not cracking formulae or playing with robots (literally), you can find me at the sports arena, the mall, or anywhere where there is food. I also love to travel and take a lot of pictures while at it. As a member of the blog team, I&#8217;m excited at having the opportunity to share my experiences with you through my blog posts. Most of my content will include scholarship application tips, academic life, traveling, and basically, all the things I get up to in order to make the most of my experience as an international student here.
Feel free to reach out with any comments or questions and I would be more than happy to assist to the best of my abilities.
Hejdå!

Hey! I’m so happy to see you here! 
 I’m Sara, a Polish Architecture student and videography enthusiast. I cannot wait to document my adventure in Sweden as an international (EU) student and share (in honesty) my experience. I am currently working on my Master’s in Architecture at KTH University Stockholm, the country’s capital. Sweden caught my attention with their healthy work-life balance, Swedish design and social culture of cosy dinners and city hangouts. Let me tell you my Swedish life so far has exceeded all my expectations!    Journaling, sunsets, chai lattes, going to art exhibitions and deep late-night chats are what makes my world go round. My metro rides to campus usually consist of my nose stuck in a book and you’ll probably see me designing in the KTH studio with a Kanelbulle in hand.    Have fun exploring our socials and blog. SIS was extremely helpful when I was settling in, so I am super excited to be part of this amazing community. Don’t hesitate to reach out and remember you’re in good hands here at SIS!    As part of the Digital Ambassadors team I will be posting on the SIS Instagram. Make sure to come say hi when I pop up on your feed!    Can’t wait to talk to you soon!

My name is Sara and I'm from Poland 🇵🇱. I'm a student at KTH, where I study a Master's in Architecture.

Hej, Hi, Ndeipi! 
 My name is Tatenda and I’m part of the Study in Sweden Digital Ambassadors team, focusing on Instagram. I come from a small town in Zimbabwe called Chinhoyi and I grew up surrounded by lakes, forests, mountains and fields….it’s no wonder  I ended up here living in the small town of Västerås right?    I’ve been living in Sweden since August 2021 and pursuing a Master’s Degree in Innovation and Design at Mälardalen University in Eskilstuna. This last year has been a dream come true for me, I’ve gotten to study a degree program that I truly love and met some amazing people along the way. I got to experience -24°C and survived, so I guess I am a true Viking now.    You can expect to see posts about living in a small town as a student, how to settle in and make friends, as well as how to take care of your health, mental and otherwise during the winter. I am also free to receive suggestions from you about what you would like to know about life as an international student in Sweden.    Looking forward to interacting with you all    Tatenda**     &#8211; my name literally translates to “thank you”

Hello everyone! I’m TJ from the Philippines! I am a first year in Lund University&#8217;s Master programme in Molecular Biology. I chose to study in Sweden because it is innovative, beautiful, and actively strives for a sustainable society. Its high-ranking universities are a perfect blend of theory and practice that promotes sustainable technologies across disciplines.  
I am grateful to the Swedish Institute to receive the Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals. It opens up a lot of opportunities to realize my potential as a global leader in the field of life sciences. 
I’m obsessed with nature. Hiking, watching sunsets, or a walk in the woods are therapeutic! Sweden has a lot to offer for outdoor activities! I can&#8217;t wait to trek its mountains, meander thru its streams, or sled across the Lapland to see the Northern Lights! 
An interesting thing about me is that I have Type 1 Diabetes. It just means I&#8217;m a sweet person  . Being too sweet requires me to inject insulin into my body twice a day. It may look sad but I have learned to overcome it. I use it to my advantage; weakness turned out to be a strength!  
I am here because I want to be that voice for the people with disabilities.  Having special needs should never limit us from pursuing our dreams. I want to share my journey in joining support groups and in accessing healthcare here in Sweden. In my first month in this country, I have seen how safe and supportive the country is to care for people with disabilities and special needs.I can’t wait to share Sweden with you by featuring my daily experiences here as a master&#8217;s student. I am looking forward to creating exciting moments with you! /TJ

Hej everyone! I&#8217;m Tullio. I come from a city in northern Italy called Brescia, but I&#8217;ve been living in Sweden for a year now.     I&#8217;m pursuing a BSc in Applied Mathematics at Linnaeus University in Växjö.    Coming to Sweden was definitely one of the best choices I&#8217;ve ever made. It&#8217;s a melting pot with equal opportunities for everyone to shine and truly be themselves&#8230; and it&#8217;s also a great study destination. What more could you ask for?    Outside of my student life, I am a content creator on social media! I have an actual obsession with anything music-related and I&#8217;m so happy to be able to share my passion with all my friends online.I can&#8217;t wait to work as a Digital Ambassador for the Instagram team at Study in Sweden and share my love for this Country with all of you!    A presto

This year I am honored to be part of the Digital Ambassadors that will work on the Study In Sweden Instagram channel. We will be sharing insights about life in Sweden from an international student perspective!Being huge fan of nature, art, diversity, I had always dreamt of moving abroad to a place where these elements are embedded in the society.
Therefore, Sweden was on top of my list when I was applying for universities abroad.
Throughout my application process, the Study in Sweden team was literally my North-Star that guided me from A to Z thanks to their wide variety of tips and tricks. And today, I am happy to be given such an opportunity to help you (as potential international students) with everything you need to successfully start  your life-time journey in the Swedish way!

My name is Xiaoyan, you can call me Yan. I am from China. Currently, I am pursuing a master degree in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science at Lund University. I am mostly working for the Chinese social media team so you won’t see me too much on Instagram. But I am here!!    It is quite straightforward why I choose Sweden &#8211; Sustainability! The major I am taking is the best in its field in my opinion. Also, the country itself is famous for sustainability and innovation which I think are the two key words of the future! So I am here not only to study for the program, but also learn from the country and its people.    In my spare time, I love cooking, singing, going into the nature and doing yoga. Since I came to Sweden, I had one more &#8211; fika! (Search on the website to read what this is 😉    Okkk. Hope you enjoy the contents that we create for you. Even better, we hope to see you studying in Sweden! Hejdå!
