Young Achiever Wolfgang Mozart

This legend has created over 600 works of musical art. He’s traveled to over 200 major cities in countries like Italy, The Czech Republic, Switzerland and more!

Joke Time! 🍩
This joke actually originated while treating ourselves with valentines day gifts at a department store in Solvang (everything valentines was on sale since it the day had already passed). We were looking for a substitute for big rolls of paper to create a month planner when came across these jumbo valentines day cards with donuts on them (I know right?) We were gonna paint or draw over them, but It was only later when we realized the joke written on the inside. It’s now become a sort of family joke. What did the donut say to his loved one? I love you so much! You DONUT even know! The first…

Young Achiever Alan Walker
Alan Walker is one of my favorite musicians, known for his unique way of creating a one of a kind electronic style. I used to call it soothing techno. He’s produced and remixed around 40 songs and has received 30 awards. It was only recently when I discovered his Young Achiever story Alan Walker was born in Northamptonshire England in 1997, but lived most of his childhood life in Bergen Norway where his family roots are. At a very young age, Alan began to grow interested in computer graphics and programming. This hobby will come to serve him later on. Some of his favorite music inspirations were Kenneth Osberg Nilsen…

The first records of pasta date back to the 1st century of AD and describe it as a flat, layered dough sometimes eaten with meet stuffed inside.

Joke Time! 🦕
What kind of dinosaur can talk really fast? A Rap-tor The Velociraptor in 1924 by Henry Osborn. It’s been said that it could run at a speed of 40 miles per hour. Many people may think that raptors had scaly skins but in truth, they more likely had feathers. To support this, raptor bones show that their arms had joints like birds and quill knobs for feathers. No wonder birds are decedents of dinosaurs. Image by Adam Baines

Joke Time! 🏨
What did the tourist say when he walked into his hotel room? Suite! Fun fact: The oldest hotel in the world goes by the named of Nisiyama Onsen Keiunkan, located in Japan. It dates back all the way to 707 AD and has been run by the same family for 46 generations! Ever since I was a kid, i’d love going to hotels. There’s just something about them. But some hotels are weirder than others. And I mean crazy weird. Mountain hotels, under water hotels, igloo hotels, an airplane hotel. The list goes on and on.
