Sometimes Plan B works out better than Plan A. I have a feeling that this was the case for this mini-vacation. Instead of doing Galdhøpiggen (bad weather), I did some last minute research and found a route that includes the Aursjøveien (Aursjøvegen) mountain road, Norway’s highest waterfall Mardalsfossen, the spectacular Romsdalseggen hike in Åndalsnes, and the…

The plan was for the guides to check out the weather at 4am and then wake us up if it looked good. I woke up long before that and saw how it was flashing outside – it was a no-brainer that we wouldn’t be going out early as scheduled, no way the guides would risk…

We had the morning off, because today’s hike will be a short one. But do not mistake that for a boring one, because it’s now that we’ll start reaching completely new heights! It didn’t start very well for me though. I slept really bad because my stomach was aching – and I never have stomach ache.…

Bruises. Check. Cuts and scrapes. Check. Aching muscles. Check. Adrenaline overload. Check. We did the Via Ferrata today! This was the deciding factor when I was choosing my trip, there was another organiser who had a similar trip but without the via ferrata. It just looked so much fun that I wanted to do it!…

It’s another overcast day, but not raining. In other words, not many views to be seen but it’s perfect for hiking! We had some help to get started, we took a minibus to the trail head at around 1500m (the village is at 1200m). I don’t know what happened overnight, but my knees are feeling…

The clouds were low in the morning, no peaks visible. It’s still quite warm though (and humid), so shorts and t-shirt is plenty enough for hiking. As we got higher on the mountain, we were in the cloud and visibility was reduced to less than 50m at times. The group was keeping a fast pace…

One item on my bucket list is to see the Alps and stand on top of one of them. I’ve been wanting the see the Alps for almost all my adult life but somehow it just has never happened – until now! I’m in Alagna Valsesia at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif. The…

So, I spent last week in Finland. Had really good luck with the weather, early May had been just as cold over there as here, but things changed quickly and I got to walk around in a t-shirt and the trees were getting greener by the day. The warm weather meant that the ice cream…

Our flight didn’t leave until the afternoon, which left us time for a morning shoot in Norðradalur. It took me a while to find my spot, but when I did, I was happy – I think I’m getting the hang of shooting the waves! Bit of a last chance but better than never. 😉 It…

Today we dedicated the day to Kalsoy, which we have already shot from a few angles as it’s right in between Eysturoy and Kunoy. There’s a couple of small villages on Kalsoy, and regular ferry traffic – another sign that these islands are doing well. There’s only one road on Kalsoy, running up and down…
