  • Staying Away

    Staying Away

    Temptations are everywhere if you’re not doing anything or bored. The best way to avoid it is to go away, keep moving and be busy with something else. As I’ve read from my Facebook friends’ post “You don’t fight temptations. You stay away from it.” It has been a dream summer weather for a couple…

  • A Trip to Gytta

    A Trip to Gytta

    Hiking during the day specially when it’s hot is a challenge. It’s a test not only of your stamina but also your mind. A week ago, I went for an afternoon hike near my flat. It’s not far but I struggled uphill due to the heat. It was around 25 degrees Celsius that day. For…

  • Hammocking Alone

    Hammocking Alone

    Who would have thought that a city girl like me can survive being alone in the woods? Never in my wildest dreams before I have thought about camping alone. I’ve never been a girl scout before. But here I am smiling because I can’t believe that I actually did it. For me, it’s another achievement.…

  • How to Kill Boredom

    How to Kill Boredom

    Last week was a perfect week to be outside. It was sunny and warm. The temperature was around 15 degrees Celsius. For me it’s already too hot because I was starting to get used to the cold winter months. I wasn’t complaining though because I found an excuse to skip (and not feel guilty) the…

  • Duck-Goose Disaster

    Duck-Goose Disaster

    Apparently, there’s no disaster here! It’s just that seeing this goose reminds me of an episode in Family Guy where they played the game “Duck Duck Goose”. That scene makes me laugh a lot. 😄 I found this goose and its mate when I went for a walk yesterday.

  • The Trip to Huldefossen

    The Trip to Huldefossen

    Again, I’m taking advantage of the sunny weather that we have here in the west. So whenever I’m on the mood for a hike or a short walk after my shift, I either skip dinner (eat only crackers) or finish my dinner really quick to explore new places around Førde. Today I drove to Mo…

  • A Race Against Darkness

    A Race Against Darkness

    One thing that I hate about autumn and winter days is the limited amount of daylight that we get. It’s very typical that we are always inside during the day because of work and we only have a couple of hours of daylight after. But that’s the reality of life-we can’t have everything. However, we…

  • It’s a good day after all!

    I almost called in sick at work today because I was very tired this morning because last night the air ambulance woke me up and it took a while before I fell asleep again. You see, I live just 2 minutes away from the hospital where I work. So yeah, that’s the downside of living…

  • A Short Trip To Rex Garden

    A Short Trip To Rex Garden

    Stress has taken a toll on me these past few months. Physically, I got migranes and low energy. Mentally, I got depressed because of the situation we are in. Despite the effort to exercise and eat healthy, I felt that nothing is working. Good thing I have friends who motivate me to take a break…
