My name is Johanna von Kielmansegg and I have just completed my Bachelor's degree in Biology. I am fascinated by our world and the people in it, and I would love to be able to live ten lives simultaneously.

Curiosity is a value that guides me in life.

For me, curiosity means an active interest in the world around you and in yourself. It encompasses not only a joy of learning but also a fundamentally positive outlook on life. Curiosity believes in finding something new and positive in all things, both familiar and unknown, something worth seeking out. In a social context, however, curiosity is also an unconditional interest in others, prioritizing understanding over judgment.

Lightness is a value that constantly challenges me.

Sometimes I find it difficult to view the world with the ease with which I would like to go through life. I often overthink decisions, myself, other people, or the world in general. Sometimes I struggle to gain perspective and assess the true weight of things.

Appreciation is a value that our society should live by more.

Experiencing appreciation is, in my opinion, a fundamental human need and one of the cornerstones of human coexistence. Especially in times when many people long for more community and understanding, we can achieve a great deal through active appreciation.
