I am in Oslo, Norway!! (Jeg er i Oslo, Norge!) By Anais Molina

“Finally out of the United States and in Norway. Oslo is such a great city. I already love it.

But soon enough [I made it to] Kringsjå, my new home. I share a room with an exchange student from Singapore, a restroom with girls from Austria and Hong Kong, and a kitchen with people from France and Poland.” Read more
