CURRENT MISSION

Living our life as a married couple.

ABOUT ME

We have been married since the summer of 2012. A Norwegian and a Swede that have found our common path in common love: Each other. We like to make things with our own hands, no matter if it is food or clothes.

Love to get known with people. Don't drink alcohol or smoke.

PHILOSOPHY

Eiliv:
• By expecting that the worst thing can happen tomorrow with a positive mind, you will never get disappointed.
• Big inspiration: Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi, Dorothy Day, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (better known as Mother Teresa), Shane Claiborne, Desmond Tutu, Olav Karenus Sørhus (my grandpa)

Hanna:
• Make as many people as possible feel as good as possible.
• What you do now, you don't have to do tomorrow.
• Take responsibility.
