ABOUT ME

Now that would be just boring. Sitting here telling everybody what I want them to believe.
I'm kind, and thoughtful. Musical and handy.
Although, I seem to outgrow my hair line. Hmmmm.....strange. I moved to Bodø, by my self when I was 17, and "got stuck". And I can't imagine leaving this region. It's absolutely unbelievable sceneries up here. Night, day, summer, winter. All year.

PHILOSOPHY

Life without music is an error.(nietzsche)

The most amazing thing I have seen, is my own home country's breathtaking nature. Especially here, up in the north.

Teach, Learn, Share

These are the rules of camping/hiking in Norway, which apply to all people within our borders.
We call it "Allemannsretten", or "right of access" in English. All countries should have this; in a perfect world.

www.norgeibilder.no
Norwegian site with hi-res sattelite images and, unlike google earth, plane photos of Norway. Kind of slow loading, but good.

INFO: Majority of norwegian libraries have free internet access, so you can ask someone where it is, and you´re sorted. Libraries are found in most cities and villages of a certain size, and are usually open between 0900 and 1500 on weekdays. Shorter on Saturdays, and closed on sundays. Many cafès and pubs have free WLAN as well. Just ask:)
