I'm 36 year old and have lived in beautiful Nordnes (Bergen) with my 15 year old daughter for 13 years and I absolutely love this place! I hope you will too! I like walking in the mountains surrounding Bergen, or having a good time with friends and family. My field of study is social antropology and I work as an adviser. My daughter goes her last year on junior school and starts at high school in the autumn. In her spear time she plays piano and dance jazz.
