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 Small Ones Deserve to Live Too
Winter can be a ruthless season not only for us humans but also for the animals. It is important to help these creatures or else they would go extinct. Besides, it doesn’t take much of your time and energy to help them. It’s been cold these past few weeks. The temperature dropping to as low…

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
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
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
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…

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
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…

Move it! Move it!
Last week’s a good opportunity for me to fully recuperate from the virus and recover from the two parking tickets that I got some weeks ago, because of day offs. Then I’ve decided to be active both indoors and outdoors. Indoors is climbing/bouldering and outdoors is hiking/walks near my place. Since, the weather’s good, I…

A Unicorn!
No. Apparently not. But this gorgeous creature has a magical effect (or should I say therapeutic effect). She made me smile and lifted up my mood. Maybe it has an invisible horn? Who knows? 🙂
