About Me

NOTE: I DO NOT live in ÅLESUND. I live 1h drive outside :)

CURRENT MISSION

"My country is the world, and my religion is to do good"

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer, but I live to make my dreams come true.
I love to meet new people.
I'm easygoing, and I make friends very easy.
I have moved one or two times a year, for the last 10 years.
I always travel with my camera, ipod and a notebook.
I have green-almost yellowish- eyes.
I studied at a coaching school just for personal growth.
I played the Flute for 10 years, but sadly haven't played it for 10 years.
If I'm grumpy I put on brazilian music..Works like a charm..
I am a knitter, have a lovefor handicraft and I usually make the presents I give away.
I believe that learning is living and therefor have taken courses in coaching, bartending, portuguese, capoeira, samba, yoga, salsa, bellydancing, diving +++ to broaden my horizon.

And at the moment I live here:

Believe in yourself and in your dreams..

I'm reading a lot of norwegian authors at the moment, It is interesting to read material from debut authors. They experiment and take me to places I've never been before in their prose, short stories and poems. And I'm also diving into the classics, Hemingway, Kerouack and Bukowski, to name a few.

Movies:
Into the Wild, The Motorcycle Diaries, Y tu mama tambien, Amelie from Montmartre, Slumdog Millionaire, Lost in Translation, The Wrestler, Inception, Little Miss Sunshine, ET, Avatar, Gandhi, Marley, Kon Tiki,
to name a few..

I enjoy watching movies from all over the world. I also do make an effort to keep track of whats being made in Norway, and I love documentaries.
