About Me:

I am a soon-to-be 18-year-old guy living with my mom and little brother in Gävle. I have personal assistance around the clock, which allows me to live an independent life with family, friends, hobbies, and daily activities.

During the day, I work at a daily activity center, and in my free time, I enjoy taking walks, swimming, hanging out with friends, participating in activities, and relaxing in front of the TV. I am an active person who appreciates both social gatherings and quieter moments at home. As my assistant, you are an important part of my daily life and enable me to live my life on my terms.
