A Norwegian
founder story.

I came to Namibia as an intern too.

My childhood dream was to work in Africa. When I got the opportunity to do my internship in Namibia in 2009 there was no question. I packed my suitcase full of hippie clothes and started a journey that would transform my life forever.

A few years later I returned and decided to share my dream and bring more people with me. That became NamIntern.

Love Miriam,
