Sweden 🇸🇪

Hello!

I thought I should write a little about my background. I come from Italy, from a little city called Imola. At the age of 16 I moved to Sweden. In 2012, when I was 14 I went to Herräng Dance Camp. That was my first time in my new country 🙂

This is my mom, who drove from Stockholm airport to Herräng and after losing the way a few times… finally arrived 🙂

After Herräng 2012 I realised I felt in love with this place, therefore I started looking for one year school program for foreign students in Sweden. Finally I got to leave Italy for one year and I went to a swedish school as an exchange student.

During my staying I’ve realised how much I loved being in Sweden. Everything was working perfectly there, so why would I have left the country? I decided then to move defiantly to Scandinavia and to start dancing with Nils surely. I learnt the language and with a lot of work behind it I got accepted into the school program as a “normal Swedish student”.

Last summer (2016) I graduated high school and after that I moved to another city. Nowadays when Nils and I are home, we travel back and forth to the dance club to get some practice done, so I don’t really get to “experience Sweden” as much as I did a few years back… but I like it like that too! 🙂
