Oskar at home

History
I was born 1971 in Visby on the lovely Swedish island Gotland , located in the middle of the Baltic See.
As a young teenager I moved to Dalarna and the town Falun . My biggest interest by that time were sports and music and
they still are (don't tell my wife!). Today I live in the north of Switzerland with my lovely (tell her that instead!) wife .
