I grew up between a deep fjord and a steep mountain in country side Norway and discovered « francophilia » at the age of ten on a vacation in Normandy. From then on, languages and foreign cultures have been my priorities. First and foremost to learn, and, as I grew up, also to share and teach.

After having studied languages in Norway, France and Italy,  I now live, write and translate surrounded by the vines on the shore of the river Rhône in France. I travel regularly  in Southern Europe and Scandinavia guiding in Norwegian, English, French and Italian. It ranges from physically hard hiking tours in the French Alps to highly cultural tours with deep diving into art and history in major European cities, especially Paris.

My articles about society, politics, wine and gastronomy are published in some of the most important Norwegian newspapers like Aftenposten and Dag og Tid. I also translate French texts for them. For Norwegian food magazines I also write and translate articles  and recipes. For translation agencies, I translate many topics, see further down this page.

Teaching has also been important for me. I taught Norwegian for foreigners in Norway ; English Business language to French executives, often 1:1 ; French to Chinese students in France, and much more.
