		Maria Berlin, Icemakers/BMW
Name: Maria Berlin Age: 29 Marital status: Single. Home: I grew up in Boden in the north of Sweden. The past two winter seasons I have lived and worked in Arjeplog. I am not sure where I will go after this season but I hope to return next winter. Occupation: Receptionist and administrator at BMW. My employer is Icemakers and I work for their customer, BMW. Favourite food: I like spicy food with garlic, lime and chilli. I like Indian food, North African and Lebanese food. Dream car: A cool 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Turquoise in colour. Present car: I have a black sporty Hyundai I10 called ‘Skrållan’. It is red inside and I am so happy with it. Spare-time activities: I consume music. My family are very active musically: my mother is in a Blues band, my brother plays drums, my sister was a DJ. I just love listening to music. I like reading, cooking and eating good food, spending time with nice people. I also like travelling, meeting people. I need to have people around me, I am a very social person. What’s good in Arjeplog I feel so welcome here and have felt that from Day One. The Nature is fantastic and beautiful. The people are curious and happy to meet newcomers. What’s bad in Arjeplog? It is so far away from everywhere and so very expensive and complicated to travel here. Also, I think there is very little happening in the summer and I would be very restless if I had to stay here all year. Music you listen to? Hard hip hop, rock especially Glam-rock from the 80’s. What’s important in life? To feel good. To take care of yourself. To spend time with nice, happy people who make you feel good. I think it is important to have a good balance in your life with work, people, your own time, etc. Right now, I feel that I have balance in my life and it feels good.
