It became really quickly cold in the altitude when the sun set, so I spent some hours alone in my sleeping bag, with enough time to think (I was quite happy that I was alone in the bag – it didn’t need more than one pair of smelly feet. Though another body in there would … More Nature ruthlessly gives and takes
When I asked my friend if I could join their expedition to the Himalayas I was full of self confident. Walking in the mountains, sleeping in a tent with no running water or electricity, in the altitude for over four weeks? Peanuts! But as the date for our departure kept creeping up on me and … More The climbing expedition
So it’s been over a year since I wrote anything. A year full of new adventures. Adventures that I for some reason didn’t write about any other place than in my personal diary. I’m quite an impatient person, and I get tired of things easily, so after a while of blogging I needed something else. … More Here we go again
I´m back in Norway, living here for the first time in a while without any actual plans of moving or traveling in the near future. I have many dreams. They will become plans. I just don´t like planning too far ahead. There is a lot of things that makes being back weird; there´s a new … More Home
Cape Town is fascinating. It’s such a mixed city with extreme poverty, people too rich for their own good, tourist-attractions where you hear every language in the world, and so much important history.

Be real, what is your expectations from this post? When our landlord sat us down and started his speech with “Girls, this is Africa”, I honestly expected the worst. South Africa is, in the west, known for a high level of crime. All we hear about is violence, theft and rape. And of course, compared … More Girls, this is Africa
At the start of our interrail-trip I thought that I would be writing posts about every place and adventure that we encountered. But I fast realized that being off-line, not always sharing everything, made the travels more beautiful. We traveled with a peace of mind. With no plan. With limited internet and outside-world connection. Its … More With no plan
I love being on the beach. To feel the sand between my toes, the salt in my hair and the sun on my skin. I feel free. I feel like I have all the time in the world. We spent some hours surfing every day while in Ericeira, and since the water is quite cold … More Thank you, Ericeira
