Lena Koester - Babbel Magazine
Lena Koester was born in Cologne, Germany, but grew up in the idyllic Swedish countryside in Småland, among forests, lakes and red cottages. With Pippi Longstocking as one of her idols, she wanted to become a circus artist when she was a kid. As an editor at Babbel, she’s now juggling words instead, exploring the beauty of the Swedish language … and dreams of a car-free day in Berlin so she can take her unicycle to work.
