Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

It’s on the very tip of Portugal. A small fishing village trying to be a tourist spot. I loved it when we were there 6 years ago. It’s quaint & small. It’s also hard to get to. Another reason is why it’s so special.

My favorite part of the town was a laundry mat/ yoga studio/ breakfast place with the freshest fruit & acacia bowls.

We adored the place & how kind the staff was. We had it recommended at our hotel. My heart often goes back there when it’s cold & snowy outside. I think about the kind people in that small town on the Atlantic.

Are you more of a night or morning person?

I’m a morning person but after 7am. Before that I’m just a zombie. I’m more productive at the beginning of the day than at the end.

At night I’d like to watch TV & chill. So I like to do errands at the beginning of the day rather than at the end.

I’m happy getting up when it’s dark & I go to bed pretty much the same time every day. During the week I get up around 8am & go to bed around 11pm.

I like how productive I am at the beginning of the day, when I need to get stuff done I do it. By the end I just want to relax & not stress stuff.

What are your feelings about eating meat?

I was a vegetarian for over 10 years. Between 1990-2000, I hardly ate meat in any form. I was a vegan & ovo lacto vegetarian at that time.

During the decade I didn’t eat meat, it was impossible to find free range eggs & organic beef. Now, it’s very simple, I prefer to go to the farmers market & buy it directly from the farmer.

Since I’ve gone back to eating meat I’m very aware of where the meat is from. I’m the same about eggs & chicken. The thing that makes me happy is that Norway has strict rules when it comes to chemicals in food.

Also, that you can get Dobio certified food in regular grocery stores here in Norway. That makes it a plus.

By being aware of where your food comes from, you make a difference.
