Description
Greetings!

For the next year I will travel to different parts of South America, starting in Colombia. I'm excited to make new friends on my journey, and gaining some new skills. Some of my favourite activites are:

- Being in nature, especially hiking or running.
- Cooking. I love fish and other kinds of sea food.
- Music. I can play a bit of piano.
- Reading. Currently my favourite writer is the norwegian Dag Solstad, but I also love many english-language writers like Geroge Orwell, James Joyce or Charles Bukowski.

I just finished my master in biochemistry and quit my job to take some time of for travelling. My work experience is mostly in teaching at all levels, from elementary school to university. I'm trying to learn spanish, and hope to master it better during and after my travels. I'm fluent in english and norwegian, and I know a bit of german.

I had a great time in this beautiful place, helping out in the garden and walking the dogs while taking spanish classes in the afternoon. Enjoyed the free time laying in the hammock and eating mangos. Thank you Hugo for your hospitality and showing me around in Santa Cruz! He also offered delicious lunches three days a week.
