This one was tricky to write. The reason is that my personal experience here was a little disappointing. Usually, when this happens it is easy because it’s a case of bad service, or a bad company so I just don’t write about it at all. In this case, though, it was a matter of unlucky bad timing. I otherwise loved…
I feel like everyone has a place in the world that they could visit over and over and over again, and northern Norway is mine. It’s a place with natural beauty that leaves you speechless, extremes of weather that remind you of the powerful force of nature, and unique experiences that you’ll never forget. If you only have one chance…
It’s a commanding sculpture that blends a realistic depiction with a fantasy creation. If you’re into Vikings, I think you’ll like this lesser-known spot in northern Norway. Here’s my guide on how to plan an adventure to the awesome Drakkar in Vardø with everything you need for a safe and fun day out.
I read about king crab safaris was when I visited Norway for the first time 3 years ago. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do a tour on that trip, but I tucked the idea away in the back of my mind and thought ‘if I ever go back, I’d love to take a trip to Kirkenes and do a tour’. Fast forward…
I’m someone who has talked a lot about the importance of living life on your terms, achieving your goals, and following your own path. I firmly believe this is the way to lead a fulfilling life and I hope that through my content I’ve been able to inspire at least a couple of people to work towards this. However, it’s…
If you follow just about anyone on social media, especially anyone who works for a ‘health’ based pyramid scheme, you’ve probably heard that there’s a new year and a new decade approaching. I thought now would be a good time to make a list of some of the tacky travel trends we can go ahead and leave in this decade.…
I left this one for last deliberately because I was very skeptical of the period cups I had heard so much about. Honestly, I was kind of scared of them. It’s a long post because it was the most asked about challenge for the whole year so I’ve tried to cover as much information as possible. Here’s my skeptic’s guide…
To be honest, I didn’t use a lot of cling wrap to begin with so this swap was a fairly easy one. Since starting the plastic free-ish challenge, I have built habits of putting food in containers or Stasher Bags more than wrapping them, and it has reduced a lot of my cling wrap use. Still, I wanted to have…
UPDATED FEB 2020. Is it your dream to go on an African Safari one day? It was a big one of mine and, though I had imagined what it would be like in my head many times, the real-life experience surprised me in a few ways. Here’s a first timers guide with the things to expect on a game drive…
UPDATED FEB 2020. If you have been following my blog for a while, you might remember that last year I visited South Africa to live out my childhood Lion King dreams. Well, it was so incredible that I decided to go back. Plus, I figured the lions were missing me by now. This time, instead of going solo, I took…
