A Little About Me

My name is Verity Taylor, I was born in Scarborough, England, in 1988. I am currently studying a degree in physical education and sports coaching with the hope to pursue a career in teaching. Before I returned to education I spent time travelling in Asia, where I volunteered within the local communities, and lived alongside the locals. This really help me understand different cultures and ways of like.

I have many hobbies and interests such as biking, swimming, running and surfing. I partake in theses activities for enjoyment, fitness and charity events.

I chose to attend the University of Agder for one semester to take part in the Outdoor Education course or Fruiluftsliv, because I wanted to learn about the Norwegian environment, sports, and culture. Outdoor education and pursuits are on the rise within schools in the UK and I hope the course will give me a greater understanding of the outdoors to pass on to future pupils.

This blog is an account of my time spent in Kristiansand and contain the majority of my own understanding and what i learnt throughout the trips. Please find information on trips in assignments.
