Yes, at age 18, trying my wings, I left my home in Isfjorden and came to the United States.

After an experience-rich childhood in my country, full of beautiful, breathtaking nature, history and old Norse customs still sings in my soul.

Sometimes I "go back" to my fun-filled days of hiking in our mountains; picking wild strawberries and catching brook trout with my bare hands.

Norwegian traditions, foods and the way of life are what I brought with me to the USA, the melting pot; the mixture of international flavors that makes America so great.

When people ask me, "Where are you from?" (I still have an accent.) I sing my answer back "All…the…way…from…Norway…"

Now, a few years later...I want to share many stories, facts and photos from my Nordic country.

When I arrived in the United States, I couldn’t wait to take a trip to a store, so "right off the boat", I went to the corner market to buy a head of lettuce. It was all green and round--I came back with cabbage. I didn’t want to ask for help — must be the Norwegian Viking spirit in me. That may sound kind of dumb, but I didn't really go grocery shopping in
Norway - mom did all that.

That’s pretty much the way I still am — stubborn, independent and adventurous — wanting to do things my way. Sometimes I even land on my feet.

Oh, in case you want to know what "hei" means - it is hello or hi.

So, hang on to your hats…here we go to Norge.   Hei!
