Hi, I’m Elin.

I’m a Norwegian girl, living in beautiful Telemark with my husband, two girls, a dog, a cat and, two rabbits.

I have an MSc in Biophysics and Medical Science and a BSc in Nutrition. These educations taught me a lot, but I’ve still not been able to find a meaningful way to spend my days. Therefore, I am constantly searching for who I am and what I want to do.
