One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm pretty proud of going to Canada by myself as a 16- year old for a year, it really showed me how much you can learn from traveling

Teach, Learn, Share

I work at a historic museum in Lillehammer as a tour guide!
Did you know that people used to sleep sitting up back in the 1700's?
They were superstitious and the houses were often smokey from the fireplace, so they could breathe easier when they sat up!
