Mother of four children and three "independent foster children" , trained and experienced journalist and top-manager/director of communication within university-, culture- and health-sector, who recently decided to prioritize spending time with my own children and supporting two young refugees and one Norwegian teenager living in separate flats in our house, whilst finishing my second master and possibly starting on a PhD within Strategic Innovation Management. I have a strong interest in social science, art, theater, music and culture, including restauration of our old timber villa from 1870 overlooking the Oslo-fjord, and a classic 1939-motorboat. I enjoy good food and wine, particularly accompanied by people who offers good conversations and possibly some different and maybe challenging and interesting perspectives on life... I will be traveling with my two youngest children (boy 14, girl 16) who are presently students at the Waldorf Astoria School in Oslo, hoping to let them experience the joy and excitement of meeting new people and seeing new places.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is important for us that you have a good time when staying in our house!! It is an old house and we often have projects going on to maintain and improve it, so we hope you are able to appreciate the charm of imperfection – even though we do our very best to give you the house and garden in as good shape as possible. (And always leave your place clean and tidy after visiting.) We also hope you will get along well with the other people living in the building. They are nice and quiet people and they will not bother you, although you might hear that there are other people in the house. You have your separat entrance private garden on the upside of the property, and share the garden on the downside with the others if you want to use that too. Welcome!
