Like a perfectly normal human being, you go about your business and are quite content with that rhythm of daily life. You do your thing, have your routines, do your work. Then, something starts to jiggle. Could be your toe, could be your ear…but all jokes aside, you know it’s the travel bug. You don’t wantContinueContinue reading “Workings of the travel bug”

Geiranger to Hellesylt
After a wonderful time in Geiranger, it was time to pack our things and go on with our road trip. We decided to take the ferry to Hellesylt, as it was on the way to our next destination of Ålesund. The ferry took about an hour, but I wouldn’t have minded if it had taken moreContinueContinue reading “Geiranger to Hellesylt”
Travelling as an introvert
One of the gifts of getting -cough- older is that I get to know myself better. Things I didn’t understand as a newbie traveller make a whole lot more sense now. This not only has to do with becoming a more experienced traveller, it encompasses all aspects of life, really. Whatever curve ball is andContinueContinue reading “Travelling as an introvert”
Wonderfully extra in Geiranger

I’ve been accomplishing things, been productive and gotten in a flow. And it feels rewarding. People are always on the go, always availableContinueContinue reading “The value of doing nothing”
Trolls and strawberries
Day one of our road trip continued to a very narrow and steep road called Trollstigen (troll’s stairs). My friend was excited to show me the view from the top, but was dreading driving the Trollstigen, in case a bus came down and she’d have to back up. Luckily, that didn’t happen. We were thereContinueContinue reading “Trolls and strawberries”
Stikk ut!
After my stay in Oslo, I flew to Kristiansund to visit my friend. She picked me up from the airport and we then made our way to Molde. There was a jazz festival going on that weekend, so we thought we’d check it out. Since we arrived late in the day, there wasn’t that muchContinueContinue reading “Stikk ut!”
