How to cope with immigrant’s pain. Como lidar com a dor do imigrante.
Tough topic. Though necessary. When I talk about my feelings I feel better, and I get warm messages from you guys, saying that I help you deal with your own feelings. So here we go again, mamma mia. I’ve read other immigrants saying things like: Your life is never going to be complete again. You’ll […]

Rjukan: mirrors that brought the sunlight to the city and WWII history. A cidade norueguesa que construiu espelhos pra trazer o sol.
Last year, we visited Rjukan, a city with historical importance from World War II and the extravagant mirrors. It’s much more than a typical cute Norwegian city with a beautiful landscape. Rjukan is located in a deep valley called Vestfjord, in Telemark. The city is surrounded by steep mountains. In the Winter, the sunlight doesn’t […]
The reason why I wanted a bunad (Norway’s national costume).
I like tradition. The first time I saw the Norwegian costumes was my first May 17th here, at the celebration of the National Day in Norway. We went downtown in Stavanger to see the big parade. I saw Norwegians, men and women, wearing beautiful bunad (national costume). Each color and embroidery represents the region where […]
How is Corona quarantine affecting our friendships?
Our new home office + home schooling everyday takes time, organization, strategy, emotional intelligence. Some of us try to find time to exercise, cook, clean, wash, date. Is there any time left for our friends? What about those who don’t have children or even a partner? Physical and social distancing can affect our mental health. […]
Are you stressed because of quarantine? The new home office + home school and the side effects.
The lockdown is something new to our society. Voluntary quarantine is necessary to stop Corona virus from spreading fast.

After that many people came from skiing trips to North of Italy. Now it’s coming from people who haven’t traveled. I see the closedown as necessary. […]
Some Norwegian expressions I find funny.
When you have already learned the basic of Norwegian language, you start noticing typical expressions. I’ve picked some of my favorites for you today. Smi mens jernet er varmt. The translation is: bend the iron while it’s hot. The meaning is to seize the opportunity as it may never come back again. It suits well […]
Why I’ve made Stavanger my home. It is much more than the Norwegian oil capital.
Stavanger is located at the Southwest coast of Norway. The city grew immensely after Norway’s blooming offshore oil industry in the late 60’s and 70’s. It’s today an international city, with almost 140.000 inhabitants. More than 10% of Stavanger population represents foreigners; mainly Polish and British. Stavanger is more than the Norwegian oil capital. It […]
My Barnehage word book for foreign parents in Norway.
As a mother who was raised in Brazil, I got confused when my kid started at kindergarten. It was a whole new world for me. I had passed Bergens test (a high level exam in Norwegian language), but kindergarten vocabulary is quite unique, and you don’t learn how to be a latin mom in Norway […]
