About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore our amazing world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a crazy, Norwegian girl, enjoying my life on this planet. I'm an outgoing, open person who love to meet and learn about other people and cultures. I often meet up with my friends and have a blast. Whether it's dinner, coffee, movie, partying or just talking we always have fun.
I've started to study medicine august this year (2009). Last year a studied one year of biology and mathematics. Beside my studies I have two jobs; one at an elderly center and one at a children play house. Quite enjoyable and I've had a lot of great moments there. I'm interested in most things, all from fishing and football (soccer, my beloved sport) to partying and shopping. I also really enjoy burying my head deep down in a good book.

One of my big passions is traveling, and if I have the money and opportunity I'll jump on a plane. I've traveled a bit in Europe and Asia, and have gotten the best memories.
Looking forward for my next adventures. Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." - John Lennon

Live in the moment! We only live once, so in my opinion we should all make the best of it. There are so many opportunities, and life is what you make of it. Think positive thoughts, spread your smile and laughter as often as possible.

Don't misunderstand me, I have, of course, some plans, but I also think it's important to have the ability to improvise if needed. Sometimes things happen that you can't do anything about, so why worry too much about it? It's better to make the best of the new situation you're in.

And also:
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace"
- Jimi Hendrix
