The 12 most photogenic places of fjord Norway
In the southwest of Norway, also known as fjord Norway, lay endless possibilities for hiking through national parks and roadtripping national tourist routes. But besides that I have another hobby. The last couple of years I have worked really hard to find the most beautiful spots in fjord Norway to capture my journeys in a special way. And with success. These are the 12 most photogenic places of fjord Norway! 1. Trollkirka, Molde Hidden in the western part of Møre og Romsdal, just above Molde, lies Trollkirka.

Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing
Okay.. Where to begin? It took me about six days to find the courage to write this. I’m not exactly sure why, but the last four weeks have been a crazy rollercoaster and writing this is actually pretty emotional for me. (If you’re not aware of the competition I’ve been competing in for the last four weeks, than you might want to read this post first.)

But everything worth having, is worth fighting for, right? And…

Please help me get to the Arctic wilderness with Fjällräven Polar 2017!
Last January I left the northern part of Scandinavia with a very bad heart ache. After living in a fairytale for a week and experiencing the most amazing and touching adventures, we headed home. Back from minus 40 degrees to minus two degrees. The following weeks were pretty hard on me. Looking at the pictures we took during the week was physically hurtful and I tried to distract myself with lots of activities. I always knew that my heart belonged to Norway, but staring at the Northern Lights with snow up to my knees was the moment I realized: I was born in the wrong country. But the feeling of constantly…
