I know that my blog is supposed to be about my ‘year in Norway’ but actually, Norway has served as my home base for further global adventures I could have never predicted. I spent a significant portion of my summer in Asia. First to Hong Kong for a short visit with a friend, then to India for a six week field school with NMBU. Living out of a backpack is becoming a smoother process than it used to be!
