Kilt Inspecter Needed!? … I’m on My Way!

November 23, 2018

The real reason I go to Scotland is for the wine gums. Ha Ha, kidding (kind of). Ok, the reallllll reason is for the accents and the scenery. Well, if I’m being honest it’s more so for the accents. Also, to hopefully run into Jamie from Outlander.   When I had the chance to take … More Kilt Inspecter Needed!? … I’m on My Way!

What Fills The Eyes Fills The Heart

September 30, 2018

What is your most visited country!? I’ve been lucky enough to visit Ireland six times in my life. I mean can you blame me? Those accents, the sheep, the scenery! Did I mention the accents already!? Every time I leave I swear a tear still falls from my cheek. This past summer I decided to … More What Fills The Eyes Fills The Heart

Find Me Where The Wild Things Are

August 12, 2018

Two weekends in a row of hiking, nature, and friends!? YES, please. This time we packed the car, our hiking boots and all the essentials required, and headed for Besseggen. Besseggen is a mountain ridge in Vaga kommune. It lies in Jotunheimen,  between the lakes Gjende and Bessvatnet. The hike is most well known for … More Find Me Where The Wild Things Are

Nothing Adventured. Nothing Attained.

July 26, 2018

We hiked Trolltunga this past weekend! It was challenging, sweaty, but 101% worth it! It took us around 4.5 hours to hike to the troll’s tongue and we camped out for one night, before hiking back down the next day. Check out those views! … More Nothing Adventured. Nothing Attained.

Live Your Life by a Compass

May 13, 2018

  A few weeks back, work took me on my next adventure. Even though Stockholm is a really easy city to get to from Oslo, it took me almost 2 years to make it back. Last time I was there, one of my best friends from the U.S. was visiting. We only had two days … More Live Your Life by a Compass

April 28, 2018

Happiness is a Bicycle and a Sunny Day

April 9, 2018

What do you do on a Saturday in sunny San Fransisco!? Rent bikes and pedal it out! #bootywork Call me crazy, but I have this really odd fear of riding bikes, especially in big, busier cities. Growing up, we only tended to ride bikes in the neighborhood or out on trails in the woods or … More Happiness is a Bicycle and a Sunny Day

It’s a Hop, Skip, and a Jump

April 1, 2018

LOST BLOGGER. REWARD IF FOUND. …Read the subject line of my email from beyondthefjordsblog.com. Ok, clearly I’m joking and giving myself a hard time. Just like any other blogger (who does it more for a hobby) you fall off the wagon here and there. I haven’t been super active in my own posts, or following … More It’s a Hop, Skip, and a Jump

Escape the Ordinary

January 28, 2018

Ready, set, west coast here I come! I’m an east coast girl, born and raised, until I decided to pack my suitcases and move to Scandinavia. Growing up my grandparents took us on as many vacations as they could. We rarely took a flight, but rather we all packed into a motor home and drove … More Escape the Ordinary

Fill Your Life With Adventures

January 22, 2018

Next stop… Switzerland!   I know people say it all the time, but it is crazy how life turns out. It is crazy to think that I had the guts to apply AND receive a PhD position thousands of miles away from home. I left a state I knew all my life, and a city … More Fill Your Life With Adventures
