Senja in Norway: where the sun shines behind the clouds
There’s destinations that fellow bloggers describe as off the beaten path or the road less traveled. Those phrases are used way too much these days in my humble opinion and in fact there’s just a few places in the world that can actually claim to be as described. I think Senja in Norway is one of them. Especially if you compare it to the insanely crowded nearby Lofoten Islands. I went to visit Senja island a while ago and enjoyed it a lot. It was super quiet (though we traveled in high season) and there was a lot to see. Only the weather didn’t cooperate, but that’s to be expected…

5 Reasons why I can’t wait to go back to Norway
Exactly one year ago today I left Norway for the last time. It sounds better than it actually is because other than a drive from Oslo Airport to the Swedish town of Höljes there was not much of Norway to this trip, but at least I got a glance of Norway in the winter. Just driving through the landscape made me realize that I truly need to go back there someday soon and so I’m seriously considering heading back next summer. I loved the summer vacation I spent here back in 2015 and have been wanting to go back ever since. Here are my five reasons why I can’t wait…
