My name is Jazmin and I’m from Peru 🇵🇪. I'm a student at Lund University, where I study a Master's in Media and Communication Studies.

Hola (Hi)!

My name is Jazmin Alexandra, but feel free to call me Jazmin. I’m from Peru, a country in South America known for its delicious food and as the home of Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Since moving to Sweden, some of my friends joke that Peru is on the other side of the world—and they’re not wrong! It took me nearly two days to get here.

I’m now living in Lund, and this city has really surprised me in so many ways. You might wonder why I traveled so far to study here. Well, studying abroad has always been a dream of mine, and Sweden felt like the perfect fit—not just for its world-class education, but also for its welcoming and progressive society, as well as its natural beauty.

After being here for a month, I can honestly say it’s been worth it. I even got to witness the Northern Lights from the rooftop of my accommodation in just my second week! It was an unforgettable experience. Plus, I’m learning so much from being in such a diverse, international environment.
I’m truly honored to serve as a Digital Ambassador for Study in Sweden. This role feels especially meaningful because, just like many of you, I relied heavily on the blog and Instagram videos when I was preparing for my move here—yes, anxiety was real! I know how overwhelming it can be to leave your home country for a new one, and I want to offer you some comfort and certainty by sharing what life in Sweden is really like.

Coming from Peru, I bring a Latin American perspective to this experience. My culture is very different from Swedish and European ways of life, and that’s why I’m excited to show you the full picture—the beautiful moments and the tough ones. I’m here to share the highs and lows, to let you know that no matter your nationality, age, or identity Sweden can be a place for you too.

I’m also passionate about talking openly about mental health and allyship, and I’ll be addressing these topics as well. My goal is to be real with you and share my journey, so you can feel more prepared for yours.

Feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions about life in Sweden and studies! Let’s live this experience together!
