Sanne Sevig, 25, was studying neuroscience and positive psychology at the University of Skovde while being a project manager at a clothing company in Stockholm. She manages her own company and lecturing all over Sweden.
Life in Sweden, according to her was extremely stressful for her, she was showing the signs of fatigue and found difficult to sleep at night. She also had a panic attack and came the feeling that she couldn't live like that anymore.
In 2012, Sanne said: “I fainted in my car and drove off the road. Luckily, I suffered no physical injuries as a result of my accident. The day after, I quit my job and wrote on Facebook that I had decided to move abroad, and wondered if someone had something they could recommend. I got two answers. One was from a girl I was backpacking with several years earlier. She wrote that she had moved to Manila, and that I could stay with her for free. Four weeks later, I landed in Manila in January 2012."
Sanne worked at a travel company where she connected major hotel chains and dealerships in Sweden. But unfortunately, the travel company closed down, so she packed her bags again and explored the Philippines' many islands. She ended up in Siargao.
The now 29-year-old woman put up a hostel-building project in the beautiful island of Siargao in the Philippines, where she lives in peace and enjoys life every day without a worry. She got involved with the owner himself, Joseph "Cocoy" Davis. They now both run Paglaom Hostel, an accommodation fit for budget travelers and surfers who just want a clean and cozy place to stay with the lowest rates.
Sanne manages the hostel, takes yoga classes and runs a charity organization called "Nature Kids of Siargao."
