About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to change the world and spread positive energy to the people around me:-)

ABOUT ME

I am a really outgoing positive person:) I have always had a happy smile on my face! Been that way all my life, and that's what have helped my get by in thick and thin. I love a great laugh, and I also have some sarcasm sense of humor. I'm really down to earth, and not that obsessed with materialistic things. I love the simple things in life.
I have traveled some, but want to travel a lot more!! If u want to know some more, just ask, or come see me.

PHILOSOPHY

I would love to learn as much as possible while I'm here.
My biggest dream is to have traveled the world, all of it!
Knowing that what I did today made a BIG difference in someones life is what really gives me the ultimate happiness!
Most importantly...STAY POSITIVE!! No matter how bad things are, try to laugh and make jokes about it. Trust me, this really works:-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was an exchange student in US when I was 15.
Long time ago, but nice experience.

I went to Ukraine by bus with some missionaries to hand out food and other things to the more poor families in Lutsk. Spent an evening making balloon animals and entertain children in an orphanage there. Will remember it for the rest of my life.
Diving in Thailand - even though I could not swim and had major hydrophobia - no more water panic after :)
Spending a X-mas eve handing out food to homeless people in Copenhagen.
Give birth to my child and see her grow up:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to spend time with you, get to know you, learn about the place you come from. Learn your ways of cooking, some of your language or some other things you can teach me.In return I can be your guide on south coast of Norway, take you around to different places, teach my ways of cooking,Norwegian and danish language and culture, scrap-booking, camping or we could do everyday stuff and just hang out and talk about everything and nothing.Everything is fine by me. I want to make your stay as nice as possible!
