Climate activist Greta Thunberg has said she no longer feels secure in Sweden and may leave the country, according to an interview with Swedish newspaper *Dagens ETC* published Monday.
Thunberg, who rose to prominence at age 15 after staging a solo protest outside Sweden’s parliament, told the paper she is considering a future without a permanent home, instead traveling to “places where she can do the most good.” She declined to specify potential destinations but described her plan as “living out of a backpack and sleeping on friends’ kitchen floors.”
The interview coincides with the upcoming release of *Strejkarna* (*The Strikers*), a documentary by Helena Molin that follows Thunberg and other activists from the early days of the *Fridays for Future* school strikes to the present. In the film, they reflect on the pressure they faced and the movement’s evolution.
Thunberg, now studying to become a nursing assistant via distance learning, has been a frequent target of both criticism and harassment since her activism began. The documentary premieres this spring.
