Description
Updated January 2024
Nerd + outdoor adventurer + hippie = Me!
I recently finished a master’s degree at NTNU (Trondheim, Norway). Then I went to Taiwan for an internship. I'm studying solar photovoltaics with the goal to advance clean energy, fight climate change, and bring electricity to developing parts of the world.
Now I'm looking for a full-time engineering job, but in the meantime, I plan to return to Norway to retrieve some luggage I left behind, and visit friends. So I'd like to find a place in Norway to volunteer and hang out for a few weeks in January and February 2024.
I'm curious about nearly everything, although I can come off as quiet and shy. I love any activity that involves spending time in nature (skiing, climbing, backpacking, biking). I've been fortunate to travel and live in quite a few interesting places around the world so far. Now I'm starting to think about settling down somewhere and taking time to find a community.Centres d’intérêt

Of course I can help people practice their English. I'm at a beginner level in Spanish, Norwegian, and Mandarin Chinese. I'm not studying much, but I'd like to maintain them at their current level.Compétences et connaissances que j'aimerais partager ou apprendre
