Get to know Karoline
Are you a cat or dog person, or both, or neither?
I have always been a dog person who thought that cats were unpredictable and scary, but after moving in with a cat I think I might have become a cat person.
If you had to choose a different field, what would it be?
Psychology. I recently started watching the series Couples Therapy and I am so fascinated by how the psychologist deals with couples and their challenges.
Is there a TV show you are binging?
I just started watching the series “Norge bak fasaden” and I love it.
What are you listening to these days?
These days all I listen to is Jeff Buckley, Leon Bridges and Sade. But I can only listen to music whenever I’m in a calm and relaxing environment/headspace.
What was the very first album, tape, or CD you ever purchased? Why?
The first CD I ever purchased was Phil Collins – Face Value. I must have bought it when I was around 9 years old, and I played it every day on the CD player in my room. I remember being so obsessed with the drum solo from the song “In The Air Tonight” after hearing it on the radio in the car, that I had to buy the whole album.
