From Bergen to Mo i Rana, Part 4: Trondheim
So, for the third stop on our trip to the north, we chose Trondheim, right in the middle of Norway. Trondheim is the fourth-largest city in the country, and from Dovre, it takes around three and a half hours to get there. Instead of staying in the city, we chose to stay at Storsand Gård…

From Bergen to Mo I Rana, Part 3: Dovre
Dovre is one of the places I wished we had stayed longer than just one night. Located in Innlandet, Dovre has lots to offer when it comes to nature. We chose Dovre as our second stop for the night because we were hoping to get a glimpse of the moskus (muskox) while driving along the…

From Bergen to Mo i Rana, Part 2: Stryn
In our itinerary, our first stop was Innvik Camping, located in the municipality of Stryn. We chose this campingsite because it was a perfect place to stop after a four-hour drive. It also served as a convenient base, as the places we wanted to see and visit were only a short drive away. My partner…

From Bergen to Mo i Rana, Part 1: Our Travel Itinerary
We’re finally back from our trip to the north. As I mentioned in my previous post, we decided to spend our summer vacation here in Norway. Before we started planning our itinerary, we already knew how far north we wanted to go. The reason was my partner’s motorcycle event which was held 30 minutes north…

Currently on Vacation
This week marks the start of our vacation. We started driving on monday and have already had at least three overnight stays, along with lots of short stops because of the kids. This year, we chose to spend our summer vacation days here in Norway. Unlike our neighbors, Norway’s weather is a bit unpredictable, and…

A Short Retreat to Sjøbua
Just an hour’s drive from the city of Bergen, lies one of the dagsturhytter in Alver–Sjøbua. It is located on Radøy in Alver municipality. Summer is already here, but we all know that living in Norway, especially in the west coast, means that the weather can be unstable. One day it may be sunny; the…

Two days. Two nights.
A couple of weeks ago, I won a raffle from Fjordline and received a free round-trip cruise between Bergen and Hirtshals. Although I’ve taken this cruise before, I decided to go again. Besides, my little one had never been on a cruise, so I thought it would be nice for her to experience it. The…

Clear Weather
What is your favorite type of weather? The timing is perfect for our cabin trip to Kvamskogen this weekend! The weather looks great—clear skies and sunshine. Kvamskogen is just an hour’s drive from Bergen and is popular among those who love cross-country and slalom skiing. It’s also one of the favorite cabin trip destinations for…

Winter Break 2025
Nothing fancy about this year’s winter break, but we’re grateful to see family again and escape the hustle of city life. The ice appeared thin, but it was stronger than it looked. Small catamaran boats couldn’t pass through it without risking damage to their aluminum surface. We visited the cemetery, and I learned that in…

The Old Town
A day before our departure back to Norway, we went to see Alcudia’s old town. I love old and ancient architecture plus the history behind it. We went there around 12 noon so it was hot and there were already lots of people. However, it didn’t stop us from admiring the place. The city walls…

Mallorca in my Mind
This year’s summer destination is Mallorca. We booked this trip just earlier this year. It’s not practical because it’s more expensive than booking a trip for at least 6 months in advance. However, I have no regrets despite the price because Mallorca is a very beautiful place and besides we needed a refill of sunshine…

Is it winter, mom?
That was my daughter’s question when we got out of our plane in Bergen from our flight from Mallorca. I answered no it’s still summer but the temperature difference is big so it felt colder. The temperature in Mallorca was around 33 degrees when we left and in Bergen was around 15, so yes the…
