I was born in 2000 in a small coastal town near Tromsø, in northern Norway. My father was a boat mechanic, and my mother was a primary school teacher. I grew up in an ordinary but strong family. Most of my childhood was spent in the snow, surrounded by the quiet waters of the fjords. The cold taught me patience; solitude taught me how to live at peace with myself.

At the age of 18, I joined the Norwegian Armed Forces. I spent most of my service near the Russian border — harsh conditions, silent tension, and remote outposts. Those years taught me both physical and mental endurance.

When I completed my service at 24, I decided to change my life. Now I live in Los Santos. I work in the private security sector and study International Relations online. Moving from the cold of the north to the heat of Los Santos wasn’t easy, but this city gave me a new beginning. Even in the middle of all the noise, I sometimes find myself standing by the ocean, remembering the silence of the north.
