Susanne Peltonen Stormling

I was born in Stockholm (Södermalm) and spent my first ten years growing up in Storvreten, Botkyrka. After that, my family moved to Viksjö in Järfälla. Today, I live in Stockholm.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science with a major in Pedagogy and a minor in Sociology and Group Psychology from Stockholm University. I have also studied subjects such as Sports Medicine and Anatomy at Umeå University and spent one semester at USIU in San Diego.

I have worked as a teacher for about 11 years (across various periods between 1999-2023), seven years as a sports/physical education teacher, and four years at elementary schools, mainly supporting children who needed extra help.

For 15 years, I worked as a group fitness instructor, teaching 1–3 classes per week. I taught at World Class for five years, as well as at Saga Motion, Bromma Träningscenter, Ericsson, Swedbank, St. Göran’s Hospital, the Swedish Tax Agency, the Swedish Parliament, and the Government Offices of Sweden, among others.

Sports have been a big part of my life. I’ve played soccer, practiced martial arts, and competed in track and field. I also took dance classes for six years at Dansakademin and Balettakademin in Stockholm. These days, I’m more focused on yoga and meditation. I am an internationally certified yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance), which allows me to teach yoga worldwide.

Currently, I am building a global online business with the goal of starting a new company in 2025. My vision is to live “the laptop lifestyle,” working from anywhere in the world while keeping Stockholm as my home base.

During 2021–2022, I studied a distance course to become an IT educator, with a few weekend meetups at the school in Sala.

I speak Swedish, Finnish, English, and some Spanish. I have lived in Norway, Iceland, Finland, Spain, the UK, and the USA.

In the USA, I worked as a bike trip co-leader for the YMCA in Massachusetts. Together with a colleague, I led 12 bright and talented teenagers (including one from Spain) on a month-long cycling trip through Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York. We carried tents and gear on our bikes, challenging work 24/7, but also a lot of fun.

I would describe myself as positive, ambitious, driven, and curious. I love good food, learning new things, and connecting with like-minded people around the world.
