CURRENT MISSION

Mam&Dad are taking our 2 oldest teen-age daughters Euro-Railing for 2 weeks. Based on an idea to show them "how-to" before they go travelling on their own, probably next summer. Yikes! Our budget is extremely low, both Mum&Dad being students! Couches!

ABOUT ME

Friendly, light-hearted, outgoing, grown-up mother of 4. Enjoy my own company although born as a social individual. Living with the love of my life FAIK whom I always travel with. He is even more outgoing and friendly than I am. We are energetic and talkative but with normal human needs and respect for privacy and solitude.
We are a multi-cultural family as I am born in Norway and Faik in Belgrade, Serbia.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking 3 oldest children to live and stay in Cape Town for 1 year, without even having a proper house to live in when we arrived.
Returning to Faik's hometown Belgrade in Serbia with him for the first time since he 17 years earlier fled from the civil-war in Yugoslavia.
Every day meeting human beings who always gives me minutes or seconds or even a whole day of feeling true happiness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do research on how music model our brain and particularly how this helps children whose mother tongue is a minority language, to learn the majority language of their "new" country better and faster.
