Peder's Bio

I am a 17 year old boy, who at the moment lives in Weston, Florida. I am from Norway, and I used to live in Arendal. Arendal is located at the south coast and my house is on the country side, east of the town. There I live with my mom, dad, brother and sister, and our dog Happy. My dad is head of the local tax office, and my mom is a nurse. My brother is 14 and my sister is 8.
The reason I became an exchange student is by coincidence. My dad is a Rotarian and has been that for as long as I can remember, he asked me if I wanted to be one, and I said yes, I wouldn't let this opportunity pass by. So I signed up, and then I had fill out miles of forms, write letters, scan documents, go to meetings and take pictures. I have been here a month now, and I can already say it is worth it!
While I am here I hope to improve my English skills, make friends all over the world, learn about a new culture and have lots of fun!
