You can thank me later :) Im off to Oslo for a few...have a great weekend!
One thing I learned about myself after moving to Norway is that different things excite me here as opposed to the states. In the US, I would have gotten excited for a rainy day because it allow...
Andre and I were sitting in a bar in Ljubljana deciding on our next destination. It was supposed to be Croatia. But Croatia lost its appeal (it was going to be Zagreb…not the Dalmatian Co...
So I feel a little bad. All of my time living in the Bergen area and I never really focused too much on the suburb outside of Bergen that I lived in. I thought Id redeem myself with this ...
Alexa is back talking about one of my favorite countries on this planet...CANADA! Since I know many of my readers are from this vast land, Id love to hear your input about where your favorite p...
On our recent road trip, we made a stop in Trieste, Italy. Partly because it was a good break point in between Venice and Ljubljana and partly because I have a friend and blog reader that lives...
Yesterday I got to celebrate my first 17.mai here in Norway. The 17th of May is Norways 4th of July (except it is the Constitution Day, not Independence Day). While it didnt feel that muc...
Admittingly, Ive jumped on the Instagram bandwagon which has been going on for what seems like decades but hasnt (and I just made up the word admittingly). I am struggling getting into it so fa...
Very few places on this planet that I have visited have completely taken my breath away. Before heading to Slovenia, I heard Lake Bled would be another one I would be adding to that list. ...
Alexa is back! Today she is taking us off the usual track of travel and talking about something that could actually get you living abroad. And if anyone here takes interest in what she is...
On Friday I did the Part I of this post regarding my reflections after being in Norway for 10 months. I felt this post could really be best done as a two-parter, so here I am for Part II: *****...
Ten months ago I took a one-way flight from New Yorks JFK to Bergen, Norways Flesland Airport. Having divorced my homeland on its national holiday was one of the hardest things I have ever had ...
Life is crazy right now. And soon Ill know if it was crazy in a good way. But aside from a large project Im working on right now, the boyfriend and I have our first, and hopefully last, o...
When I was in Salzburg, Austria last month, I stumbled upon Knödlerei, a pleasant little eatery a bit outside the main tourist drag. I immediately fell in love with every aspect this place had ...
I love Italians. I love their food. I love their wine. I love that they have personality. I love their style. And mostly, I love their country. But I don’t like their ma...
Today I had someone comment in a rather negative manner on my blog, and then proceed to call me the Bergen Bitch on Twitter. I dont think she was 12, but Im not sure...and I live in Oslo, not B...
Can you believe it is the last day of April??? I cant. Mostly because the current temperatures in Norway, which are warm for Norwegians, are still winterish to me. I also havent had...
Ive always enjoyed hiking and exploring*. But in the US, I was the only one of my friends who did so. When I would tell my friend Amber I was going hiking for the day, the response I woul...
Good friends like Marie and Jeanette in Oslo make it 20 times harder to get on that train to spend a few weeks in Bergen. And no, the denim shirts were not planned. At least not in ...
We help a homeless man on the streets and we automatically know where our money goes, right? Beer and drugs. Okay, maybe not always true, but I know we have all wondered where our quarter...
For about the past 8 months, I have been contemplating moving my blog back to Wordpress. I started there, moved to Blogger (because I had a previous blog and was more familiar with the structur...
My boyfriend is a cash-whore when we are in other countries. As in, he only uses ATMs and never will use his debit card. I guess this is a good thing…I don’t know. But either way, I...
On our recent road trip we ended up in Trieste, Italy...a gorgeous coastal city on the Adriatic. The highlight of being in Trieste was most certainly the road into the city. And on this r...
I have concluded there are basically two people...those who have been to Ljubljana, Slovenia and fell in love with it, and those who have never heard of the city. Okay, so maybe there are more ...
This past Saturday was National Turban Day...well at least in Norway. Dont worry...it wasnt on my calendar either. I was dropping my crashed computer off to a friend who received better g...
Hey everyone! Alexa is back contributing another great piece...one that is super relevant to me right now as I have no money for a real vacation anytime soon!!! Hope you enjoy and share y...
It took me exactly 5 minutes to fall in love with Venice. Okay…maybe about 10 after I screamed to my boyfriend, “I HATE THIS CITY!” very loudly as I was dodging pigeons and unruly tourists. I h...
Recently Hostel Bookers had a 7 Super Shots Photo Project going around and I was lucky enough to be tagged not once, but twice by Liz at Memoirs of a Young Adventuress and John at Travel Rinse Repeat...
Ok so heres the deal guys. I dont normally promote things like this on here, but this is an emergency. Many of yall know Beth. Well, Beth has the opportunity to win a trip to EUROPE...
When I travel, I prefer to stay in the cheapest place possible...whether it be a hostel, boutique or design hotel, or the cheapest of cheap, couchsurfing. When my boyfriend travels, he prefers ...
