Benjamin From
Hailing from Stockholm, From is an only child. He enjoys playing football and he loves traveling.
“Being an only child has not just taught me to take care of myself, it has also taught me that I need to be social and communicate with a lot of people,” From shared. “For example, when me and my parents were traveling when I was younger, I had no siblings so I was like, ‘Who should I hang out with?’ So when we were at the beach, I always was forced to approach similar guys playing football or volleyball or anything, just to hang out.”
According to From, as an only child, he learned to speak to people and to communicate, otherwise, he will not experience as much. He said, “You won’t experience as much if you don’t talk to a lot of people so that has taught me a lot—that being alone forces you to enhance your social skills and develop your network.”
