21-year-old Norwegian student currently studying
International Studies in The Hague, the Netherlands. Spent half of my life in the Middle East (Jerusalem and Cairo). Above average interested in politics, languages and cultures... I enjoy horse riding and hiking and spent the last five months in Cairo doing that as well as studying Arabic as part of my exchange semester. I also have a profound interest in art, and love to draw and paint myself as well as visiting art museums.

I just moved back from Egypt and as of now I am living in a small studio in The Hague. I am quite the busy student and often spend late nights at campus, however, if you find yourself looking for a place in The Hague I'll do my best to accept your request! :) My studio is small and if your request is accepted I will sleep at my neighbour's so you can sleep comfortably. After nearly three years in The Hague I know the city relatively well and I would love to show you around. If you're interested in art and photography that's a huge plus as those are passions of mine.

I can make a great banana cake!
