Presentation of myself:

My name is (Mr.) Bjørn Roger Rasmussen (ø = oe) and I'm the owner of this page. I was born in 1971, and I am married with Sølvi Myklebust Rasmussen (picture 1/2006 - Sølvi 26 July 2006, picture 2/2003 - we are eating "lutefisk" and picture 3/2003 - The village Flatraket, the place where Sølvi was born).

I grew up in Egersund, the municipality of Eigersund in Rogaland county. Egersund is a little town with about 15 000 inhabitants on the southwest coast of Norway. Many inhabitants have jobs related to fishing, offshore and public services.

In May 2014 we moved to Flatraket, the place where Sølvi comes from. Flatraket is located in Stad kommune (municipality), The Nordfjord district, Vestland county (earlier Sogn og Fjordane county and Selje municipality), Norway. Flatraket is a small village. According to route planner, there are 11 hours and 8 minutes of driving, and a distance of 586 km between Egersund and Flatraket (also some ferries along the way and variable road conditions/standard).

We have adopted a girl from China in 2013 (now in school age), and we are foster parents for a boy (primary school age) too.
