A Rare Phenomenon
It is already mid October and the weather is surprisingly lovely in most parts of the country for almost two weeks now. I am not complaining though. The weather is just perfect for hikes, road/boat trips, picnics and you name it but do not let the sunshine and the blue skies fool you because it…

A Walk in the Cemetery
In my opinion taking a walk in cemeteries is a good way to reflect about life. It is also a great way to learn about the history. When I was visiting my friend in Stavanger, we went out for a walk in the cemetery near her place. No she was not visiting someone that she…

You Don’t Need to Fly
Sometimes you don’t need to fly just to get closer to the sky. 😉

Cruising for Five Hours and a Half
At the beginning of this year Fjordline has started offering domestic travels between Bergen and Stavanger. For your info the cruiseship that goes from Bergen to Stavanger is the same as the one going to Hirthsals Denmark.

The Horse Farm
After around two weeks of absence from this blog, I’m finally back! I’ve been busy with my part time job, Norway’s Constitution Day, spent the Pentecost weekend with the bf’s family and traveled to Rogaland to visit my friends and family. For the first time, I celebrated the 17th of May (Constitution Day of Norway)…

Earth Day Photo

Knock, Knock!
My life had been a roller coaster ride during the first two months this year. I felt hopeless, insecure and unsure about my future and career as the unemployment rate increases. However, I did not give up. I searched for jobs and have been an active volunteer near my place. I also talked to my…

Coffee, Tea and More!
As my relationship with tea gets stronger, my interest for tea shops and cafe grow as well. Most of the tea lovers in Bergen that I chatted to, online, suggested that I check out Herskap & Tjenere. I have been here before, but I did not pay attention to the teas because I was not…

Bright and Cold
The snow is back after two weeks of storm and mild weather. I am also grateful that it is getting brighter again. My mood is starting to get better and I am motivated to try something new when it comes to jobs. The economic crisis is not yet over. Yesterday, one of the biggest banks…

A Monochrome Kind of Day
Mornings could be a tough time of the day to wake up and stay awake. I admit that I find it hard to be a morning person. Like today, I was dead tired this morning. I could of course have some cup of coffee but that would upset my stomach so I opened the door…

New Home
It is official. I have finally moved to Bergen! New home. New city. New opportunities. However it does not mean that I am saying goodbye to Stavanger for good. My family and friends live there and there are some places that I have never been to but would love to see/visit. The place that I…
