Jena Habegger-Conti lives in Bergen, Norway and writes about transcultural interactions, life as a US immigrant, and what "home" means in a transitory world. Her blog, "Up-rooted," takes a quote from Simone Weil as its point of departure : “To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” My blog 'Uprooted' - www.jenaconti.wordpress.com
