About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and learn..

ABOUT ME
I'm Norwegian, but live in the Hague, the Netherlands, studying Business and Hotel Management at Hotelschool The Hague. Previously have a bachelor in Archaeology from the University of Oslo. So, as you may guess, my interest spectre is wide ;) I never get bored if you teach me something new, and I'm sure I can share some interesting stories as well!

Full time student, so rarely able to host, but let me know if you want to hang out!

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to live your life and risk dying young, than dying old without having lived at all...

Interests

- Traveling, of course
- Seeing new places, meeting new people and discovering new cultures
- Learning new languages
- Not being stuck in the same place for too long
- History and archaeology
- Gardening
- Architecture

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This might not be an amazingly unbelievable story, but it touched my heart (and I'm not one for clichés):

The first time I was in Brazil we stayed a few nights at my friend Milton's house in the favela. They had nothing.. The walls were made of hollow bricks and the roof of tin, they had one bedroom, a kitchen and a backyard which also functioned as a bathroom.
Still, Milton and his mom insisted we take the bed and they would sleep on the kitchen floor. The next morning they baked a cake and bought fruit to serve us for breakfast and were the best hosts ever throughout our stay.

They had nothing, still they gave us everything!!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain
