About Me

I finally finished my studies (I think) and am working as an instructor at University, teaching Linguistics and Norwegian as a Second language. I´m loving it! I am also a freelance translator. I hope to go to Africa to work as a linguist/translator within a year or two. For now I am in Bergen, Norway, getting ready and living the good life! :) I love people, God, moccas and dancing, friends and family are very important to me. I also love to travel and meet new people in their cultures. ____________________________________________________________ ______Layout made by StanleyThePanda at CreateBlog.com .
