My family and I are excited to travel in a more down-to-earth, intimate and localised way. We're fun, silly and serious. Personally, I enjoy cooking for others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Somehow, I managed to get artichokes, pumkins, sweet corn, summer squash and wax beans to grow in my garden in Oslo, Norway. It's quite a cold harsh climate.
