About Me

I'm a 24 year old student living in Trondheim at the moment, just finished my second year of a five year degree in industrial
Economics and technology management at the norwegian university of science and technology (NTNU). Before moving here I've studied maths in London and in Oslo.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have a favourite movie, but my favourite TV show is definitely Orphan Black (Tatiana Maslany is amazing). I might have too many favourite books to count, but a few notable mentions are Harry Potter, everything by Cassandra Clare, Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson, Blood of Eden trilogy by Julie Kagawa, Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown, Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver... I could probably go on for a while :) If you've read any of these I can guarantee we will have plenty to talk about!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first thing that comes to mind is the time I hiked on a volcano in Iceland with my family. It was a long time ago, and I had severe fear of hights (I still do but its gotten a lot better). This mountain/volcano though was really steep and it was extremely windy. At one point I became so frightened that I had a mild panic attack (although I didn't recognize that at the time) and had to turn around... Maybe it would have been more amazing if I had actually made it to the top, but I think its quite amazing that I pushed myself that far at all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach people my language and some Norwegian customs and culture :)
I want to learn the same things from others and maybe you could also teach me to cook something from your country?
I'll share my cooking skills if you'll let me near your kitchen ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can try to teach you some Norwegian and definitely tell you all about Norway.
