CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

just moved to Stavanger for a new job! Hope to explore.

I also like to meet new people and try new things especially if it involves being outdoors. I may seem a bit quiet at first but especially in small groups that goes away real quickly. I like to laugh!

Disclaimer to me being adventurous: I'€™m afraid of roller coasters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a rural village in Panama for 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in a little one-room thatched house, without electricity or running water. I generally had 2-5 neighbor kids hanging out on my porch, and they became my best friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hm. I bake a lot, especially desserts. Although I mostly learn from blogs I would love to learn more from a baker. I like math, can speak Spanish, know how to crochet but it’s been awhile. Try me!
