Hejsan! I’m Manu, a returning Digital Ambassador for the Instagram team :cherry_blossom:

In 2022 I moved from Brazil to Sweden to study a Bachelor’s in Biomedicine at the University of Skövde. It’s the last year of my program, and I’ll be doing an exciting thesis work on diabetes at Lund University!

Studying abroad was always a dream of mine. I was curious to experience a new country and a completely different culture. But what made me choose Sweden? Safety, career opportunities and a more balanced lifestyle.

The longer I am in Sweden, the more I learn new things about myself. I enjoy being active by working out and running, being out in nature, cooking delicious vegetarian food and traveling! I’m also passionate about creating content about life in Sweden, which has really become a hobby :camera_with_flash:

Some curious facts about me is that I’m into learning languages and I taught myself Swedish. The first time I went abroad was when I moved here (quite a big step, I must say) and I had never seen snow before coming to Sweden, so it shocked me to experience a -22°C weather in Skövde!

I’m really looking forward to another year with you!
