Norsk Bunad “You can take the girl out the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.”
Isfjorden in winter.Yes, at age 18, trying my wings, I left my home in Isfjorden, which is a small village in Romsdal, and came to the United States.
Breathtaking view from Romsdal Mountains. After an experience-rich childhood in my country full of beautiful, breathtaking nature, history, old Nordic customs and folk tales still sing in my soul.

I didn't want to ask for help — must be the Norwegian Viking spirit in me. It sounds dumb, but I didn't go shopping for groceries at home.
That’s pretty much the way I still am — sassy, stubborn, independent, and adventurous — wanting to do things my way. Most of the time I land on my feet, but sometimes- NOT

Oh, in case you want to know the meaning of the word "hei" - it is the same as the greeting hi or hello, but not the same as saying hello on the telephone - that is "hallo".
