  • Description

    Hello! I'm Miriam – a curious and passionate soul with roots in Paris, Norway, and Palestine. 🌍

    I like to think of myself as a little chameleon, blending seamlessly into new environments and cultures. I absolutely thrive on connecting with different worlds, languages, and people. Meeting new folks is where I shine – I adore listening to their stories, learning from their experiences, and sharing my own adventures over a good laugh.

    I'm deeply drawn to nature – working the land, feeling the earth beneath my hands, and spending time outdoors grounds me. I live in Stavanger, Norway, right in front of a fjord, and I often head out to sea to fish from the boat. The connection with the ocean, the mountains, and the quiet of nature is something I cherish deeply. Hiking is one of my favorite ways to unwind, especially when shared with interesting company and engaging conversations.

    Life has taken me on quite the adventure – from humanitarian work to teaching history, and now consulting at the university. No matter the role, people have always been at the heart of everything I do.

    In my free time, I dive into Latin dancing, yoga, skiing, paddleboarding, and board games. I also love cooking for friends – there’s nothing like gathering around a table for a shared feast and making memories together. Laughter is essential to me, and I believe humor can light up any situation.

    I’m passionate, curious, and I love to learn – although I’ll admit, my memory isn’t always the best! If you can teach me something unforgettable, you’ll have a friend for life.

    I’m looking forward to new adventures, learning from others, and contributing wherever I can. I can't wait to meet you and share some beautiful moments in nature, on the sea, or around the dinner table.

    See you soon! 😊

  • What else ...

    I find joy in simplicity – creating natural beauty products like face masks and hair creams, nourishing my body with what it truly needs, and turning to nature for small remedies instead of processed products or medication.

    Writing is another passion that keeps me grounded. I write articles, journal my travels, and craft stories for children – capturing the beauty of life in words.

    To create, heal, and write is how I stay connected to myself and the world around me 🌿✨
