Andrea Sørholt Balgaard // Ylva Karlsmyr Piene

We are two girls from Norway that just graduated from nursing school. We want to have some time off before starting to work at the hospital here in Trondheim. We´re looking for places to stay at during our trip through beautiful Italy, and we hope to meet some cool people on our way. Andrea is 22 years old from a small city called Levanger. Ylva is also 22 years old and is from the capital of Norway: Oslo! We both like spending time with friends and family, as well as going out, traveling and going to the gym. We both speak English fluently, and some Spanish, so we would love to learn some Italian too during our stay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We lived in Tortosa, close to Barcelona, for three months together in 2017. During our time in Spain we worked at two different hospitals and travelled to places like Valencia, Tarragona, Sevilla and Barcelona!

I did a hike up Trolltunga in Odda, Norway last year with my mate from Australia. We used about 5 hours on our way up. It was hard, but defiantly worth it!

I did a backpack trip in Central America in 2015 with another friend. We met people from all over the world and travelled trough Guetamala, Belize and Mexico during 5 weeks. I got to try paragliding and I even swimmed with sharks and turtles.
