Everyday Exchange

Interested in learning about my life as an exchange student? You've come to the right place! I've collected all of my posts about everything from school to food to friends to host families here. While exchange brought a lot of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, some of my favorite memories come from the "mundane" days spent living life as a normal, almost-Norwegian teenager. Enjoy!
