ALL THE GEAR

SUNGLASSES

I love the sun so I have a few pairs of nice expensive shades. You can’t go too far wrong with Ray-Ban Aviators.

SANDALS

I always like sandals when I fly because your feet swell up on a plane, right? These Birkenstocks do the job nicely.

I HAD MY HEART BROKEN on a tiny, incredibly poor island called

Isla de Oro. I noticed this woman with a beautiful little girl who, it turned out, had a hole in the heart. I made some calls to a surgeon in Pennsylvania and to the Ronald McDonald organisation and they agreed to send the mother and child to the States for surgery. I ran back to the tin hut where the girl and her mother were living, but when I got there she had just died.

MY BACKGROUND IS NORWEGIAN but I have never been to Norway.

So I have to go there, before I go somewhere else.
