CURRENT MISSION

Eat food everywhere

ABOUT ME

I am a student in the US, studying abroad in Oslo. I like to find humor in everything. When I am somewhere new I like walking around with no plans. I don't feel lost unless I cannot find somewhere to eat.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know what I am doing, but these sound nice

"A man's soul is rooted in his stomach"
-Charles Bukowski

I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"
-Kurt Vonnegut

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on the ski trail in Oslo and some guy came up to offer me some wax. After talking, turns out we lived a block away from each other in the USA. It is a smaller world than I like to think.
