ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anne Marit Bj0rgen was born on April 17, 1959, in Stavanger, Norway. She studied at the Oslo School of Architecture from 1982 to 1988. After working for a major construction firm upon graduation, Bj0rgen started a small publishing company in 1992 and, one year later, opened her own bed and breakfast. By 1994, Bj0rgen had collected enough information on Norwegian bed and breakfasts to lead to her publishing the first bed-and-breakfast book on Norway. This guide is an updated version of the 2005-2006 edition. In addition to travelling throughout Central America, Europe, and the United States, Bj0rgen enjoys pursuing various arts and crafts, including beading and furniture remodeling.
