Originally from Norway, with Italian roots (and a secret Finnish connection), she has spent the majority of her adult life exploring the globe and immersing herself in a diverse array of cultures.

Her journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism and Communication that whisked her off to Spain and England, interspersed with an adventurous summer break in Madagascar.
