Benjamin From
Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, From is a student of Stockholm University, a public research university in Stockholm. He is studying human resources.
“The reason I’m studying human resources is because I find it very fascinating by what makes people think like they do and how they treat each other, especially when it comes to work-related situations,” From explained. “When I’m not in the classroom, I’m with friends or a lot of the time I’m always on the football pitch—also soccer, as it’s called. If I’m not on a soccer pitch or football pitch, I am often traveling to new places and meeting new people.”
According to From, football taught him a lot of discipline and he will gain by working as a team while travel taught him that he has a family and a community outside of his home country.
As a Mister Supranational 2026 candidate, From wants to show that a guy from Sweden can both lead with strength and heart and that real leadership is about serving others. For his From the Ground Up project, which is part of the competition, he is developing a community initiative that turns tourism into a service. He said, “It’s my way of combining love with people who travel together.”
